My Favorite Season

Fall has grown to be my favorite season for many reasons. One, it is my birthday. Two, I love the weather. My favorite, most comfortable outfit is jeans and a long sleeve shirt so fall is perfect for that. With that, I love the colors that come out in the trees. Three, I love listening to General Conference, which takes place in the fall and spring. Four, football resumes, both college and NFL. And I love football. Luckily, I've been able to do all of those things these past few weeks.

A few weeks ago, BYU played Utah in the rival game. We had some friends over and I made these color-fitting cupcakes.

Then, Joseph and I celebrated my birthday (his is in two weeks!). We went to Joe's mission reunion the night of my birthday and it was fun. His mission is growing so rapidly and great things are happening in Barcelona Spain. For my birthday, Joseph got me a cake turntable so I can decorate cakes better. I was quite excited. I also had the opportunity to talk to my family, which is always great! For a mutual birthday lunch, we went to Tucanos this weekend and I love going there! It was very yummy, as always!

The weekend before my birthday, Joseph and I had time to drive up into Provo Canyon and go up to the place where we took our engagement pictures, Cascade Springs. The leaves were beautiful and it makes me sad to know they will go away and white snow will blanket the area soon. But we enjoyed just walking around and looking at God's beautiful paintings.

My attempt at being creative.

General Conference came and went. Joe and I were able to get tickets from our ward over the summer. I love going to the Conference Center! We also went to Joe's parents for part of conference to see them. It was a wonderful conference. I still can't believe young men can serve missions at 18 and sisters at 19 now! And the announcement of two more temples in the world! What wonderful news!
