October Already??

I can't believe it is October already! Things have really been crazy around here. We've moved into our new house :) But everything is still pretty much in boxes. Today is the first day of General Conference... it was announced that boy missionaries will start being called on missions when they are 18 (instead of 19) and girls will be 19 (instead of 21). There is also going to be a temple built in Tuscon, AZ!

 

Cody has been called as the Elders Quorum President. That keeps him really busy. I have two callings... CTR 6-7 primary teacher and the scout committee chair... between that and moving, and being a full time mom, and a full time student, I am feeling pretty overwhelmed. I know I have help from Heavenly Father, but there has been times where tears have been shed. Thank goodness I have the priesthood in my home. Cody gave me a blessing and I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders, but I do still feel overwhelmed. I just need to try to take one day at a time, and stop looking at all the boxes I have to unpack and all the final exams I need to study for.

 

Living in a house has so many perks. I get to play the piano again! (without worries of upstairs neighbors) I am so glad we have our new flooring in. It looks fantastic! And most of the painting is done... still need to do some touchups and paint the Arizona rooms and the guest suite that is behind the garage.

 

Cody just got back from a week away at a Prosecutor Conference... I think that is why I was so overwhelmed as well. I am so glad he is back :) Right now he's at the General Priesthood Session, and then he needs to run to work because he didn't get to work last week due to the conference, and still has court on Monday... yikes! oh well... nothing but conference tomorrow! And we are planning on going to Utah next week for my mom's 51st birthday. I am in desperate need of a date. There is just SO much on our plates right now, that we've just put it off for a few weeks and just watched some tv here with ice cream and foot rubs. That works too, and just spending time with Cody makes me happy, but I can't wait till we're in Utah where I already have my sister lined up so we can go out by ourselves and go on an official "date".

 

It's getting cooler at night, and the leaves here have just started to change... I love FALL! Now to find all of our sweaters in our boxes...
