Falling into Halloween

Yesterday we took the motorcycle up Millcreek Canyon to view the colors of fall. After bundling up, we still didn't make it up the 10-mile canyon, but had to turn around at mile 6 because it was so cold. Snow covered the sides of the road around mile 5 and the wind was bone-chilling. Josh, my polar bear of a husband, even got cold so you know it was freezing up there! It was also very beautiful and I'm glad we could enjoy the outdoors before winter comes.

When we stopped to take pictures, Josh ran across the street to a patch of snow and started throwing snowballs at me. It's a good thing he missed!

Even though it took us about an hour to get warm after we got home, we both enjoyed our ride. I love the motorcycle and am so glad Josh likes to take me for rides! He even has it in his head to teach me how to drive it. I'm not so sure about that one, but we'll see. I love living in Utah and all of the opportunities we have by living here!



Last weekend we had fun decorating our apartment for Halloween. Between conference sessions, we put up skeletons, witches, and spiders making our home a fun and scary place in which to live. Josh's favorite holiday is Halloween and he was like a little boy again playing with the spider webs and other creepy crawlies.

I'm happy to say that Josh finally put that spider web where it should have been and the outside of our apartment looks incredible! Of course it is a little wind-blown now because of the storms we've had since, but that just adds to the effect.


My favorite decoration is the "Ghost Motel" sign. We bought the sign and the skeleton separately and then Josh made the noose out of rope and taped it to the back of the sign.
