J is for jack-o-lanterns

J is for jack-o-lanterns. For two weeks we have been trying to carve our pumpkins but things just continue to come up. This is the last weekend before Halloween so everything has to be finished. I'm not sure if I want to carve a classic face on mine or if I want to try doing something more complex.

Meet The Mormons

I was able to go see the movie Meet the Mormons last week. It was a good movie. I am definitely glad I went. For those who have not heard about this movie, it is a documentary on Mormons and the stories of members from around the world. Each story is different. All of the stories were moving but one story hit me hard. Probably since I relate to the women in a lot of ways. I would suggest the movie to anyone. It isn't a preaching movie. It is simply informational.

Behind The Scenes

I am back again to share more about myself with you.

Would you rather take pictures or be in pictures?

I would rather be the one taking pictures. I love having something to keep track of memories. 

What did you most enjoy doing this past week?

Last week I got to take all the kids to a corn maze and pumpkin patch not to far from us. It was a lot of fun they had slides made out of giant pipes and a corn bag toss for the kids. Unfortunately we went on a day right after it had rained so the maze was extremely muddy. We are going to try and make it a yearly thing though.

What is your greatest extravagance?

My greatest extravagance is probably buying things for my daughter. When I see something she would like it is hard for me not to just get it for her.

Which letter of the alphabet describes you best?

I have no idea! I have never thought about this before.

Bonus Question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

To see what I am grateful for last week click here and read my Thankful Thursday post. This week I am looking forward to birthdays. There are a lot of birthdays in my family in the month of October.

I hope you all enjoy reading my blog.

Five Minute Friday: Long

The Five Minute Friday word this week is: long.

GO

Long distance relationships are hard. Even if the relationship is not romantic but a friendship. My best friend lives about 5 hours away. Even though that isn't extremely far it is far enough where we don't get to see each other as much anymore. Before she moved we easily saw each other every other week if not more. We usually talk on the phone at least every other day. However this week we have not talked at all. Both of us have become busy and it can get challenging.  I miss her very much! Don't let distance get in the way of a relationship. As long as the relationship is strong enough distance doesn't change a thing. Communication is key. I look forward to the years to come as my best friend and I continue to grow in our own lives with each other as friends as well.

Steve

I am so thankful this week for my husband to be. He has been very supportive over many decisions I have made in the last two years. He is amazing with my daughter especially on weeks like this one when I have a migraine that I can not break for days. He has been working very hard lately on making sure our wedding is the way I want it to be. I can not say thank you enough for everything he does for me. 

I love you Steve!

Dreamy

This weeks photo challenge is to post something that is dreamy to me. A photo of a place often in my dreams or a scene that looks out-of-this world.

I took this picture about a month ago right after a big rain storm. It is not often that you get to see a double rainbow. Rainbows remind me that there is light after the storm. Its hard not to smile when you see a rainbow.

Fright Night

This weeks prompt is: Fright night. Do you like being scared by books, films, and surprises? Describe the sensation of being scared, and why you love it — or don’t.

I hate being scared. My favorite out of the three choices listed in the question would have to be scary books. Reading about scary things is not the same as watching something happen. However, I love watching scary movies. Only when I have someone to watch them with though. I freak out and hide in a blanket or someones shoulder. Sometimes I try to make fun of what is going on in the movie.
