Halloween!!!

I absolutely love the fall!!! And I also love halloween, mainly because I really only have halloween decorations for our house so far.. hehe. Danny and I went to a pumpkin patch and got to pick our pumpkins--which were an amazing deal by the way-- we got 2 large pumpkins, 1 medium pumpkin and 1 small pumpkin for $14!! I'm sure others got better deals, but oh well. This was Danny's first time carving (Crazy I know!!) but he did awesome! As in family tradition we also made sure to make sure to take a picture with our pumpkin while making the face we carved into it. I was also excited because Danny and I got to go to our ward halloween party which was so fun! We got to tote around a couple of our friends kids while she was busy with the party and it was a blast. Games, trunk or treating, and lots of chili. mmmm. And I was Juno by the way, I don't think a lot of people in our ward got it, so they probably thought I was just some wierdo dressing pregnant girl, but oh well. Overall it's been a good start to fall and I am dying to go to an apple orchard one of these days, even though I know it's already late in the season. And with only 9 days left until connor is due, we will see if that happens. Connors first outside experience might just be an outing to an orchard.

Tribute

Well here I am sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing, and feeling completely lazy. And that is one feeling I really hate, I hate feeling lazy. So I decided to write a tribute to my husband. I've been thinking and reflecting about how lucky I am to have him a lot lately. And I know this won't come out the way I really want it to, I know I can't truly express how blessed I am to have him as my husband, but I thought I might try. So here it goes....My husband is one of the strongest people I have ever met. He has gone through so much in his life and still has such a strong testimony of the gospel. He doesn't ever use his rough life experiences as an excuse to do or think things that would go against what he knows to be true. Danny is also the most caring person I have ever met. I know that he might seem like a big tough guy to most (which he is), but he is also the biggest teddy bear on the inside.
He would drop everything in a second to help someone in need. While I have been pregnant he has been the most understanding person ever. He never makes me feel bad for being lazy and not getting things done, he is just completely supportive and so loving. He makes me feel truly beautiful every day, even when my hair is sticking out every which way and my eyes are smudged with old mascara. And he even loves me after gaining 26 pounds and becoming twice as big as I used to be. I love the fact that he is a marine and is defending our country, I can't express how proud it makes me to be married to him and how much more I've come to respect those who are in the services. Plus he does look really good in the uniform. He is also extremely hard working. I know I will never have to worry about being taken care of because he is so strong willed and is amazing at everything he does. I also love danny because he is truly a family man, he is going to be the best dad ever and I can't wait to see him with little baby Connor. I can't wait to watch him coach our kids football teams and be there on the sidelines cheering my family on.
Danny is also one on the funniest people I know. He can always make me laugh and it's so hard to be mad at him because he is such a silly billy. I think that's one of the reasons why everyone loves him.
I am truly amazed at how he can get along with anyone. I also appreciate how he is almost completely opposite of me when it comes to being a worry wart. I don't think Danny has ever worried about a thing in his whole life, he is so carefree and has so much faith in everything. I am also so grateful for my husband because he completely honors his priesthood. He is always able to give me a blessing in times of need and can completely put me at ease. I guess this wouldn't be complete without me saying that my husband is also very handsome. He is so good looking with his sexy bald head and amazing smile. I know I still haven't said everything that I wanted to about my husband but I'll stop boring everyone and making everyone barf with all of this lovey dovey talk. I just can't tell you how lucky I am to have him in my life and I am so excited to grow old with him and someday be 80 years old sitting on a park bench holding hands. I love you babe for forever.
