We finally went to a BYU football game- one of the dreams of Andrew's life!!  It was so much fun, even though it was freezing cold.  I've never been to any event where you had to clear snow off your seat in order to sit down.



But it was definitely worth having a frozen bum to see this big smile all 3 hours:


I guess since Andrew converted to Giant fan-ism for me I have now done the same for him with BYU.  So, good for me!  And him!  Both of us!





The temple on our way home was beautiful.  It's one of my favorite ones.  
But anyways,
GO COUGARS!

On Saturday morning last week we pulled open our blinds and feasted our eyes on this beautifulness! 




Look at those mountains.
Every year I say we should skip Thanksgiving and go straight to Christmas.  This year the weather seems to agree with me!!

We had a wonderful fall season this year.  The weather was perfect.  We went on some nice walks, collecting leaves and pinecones for cheap fall decorations.  It's been the ideal beautiful, peaceful, bright but soft colored autumn.  Here are some pictures of things we did:

We made pumpkin Better than (ahem) "Whatever" cake

Beautiful cheery view from our window!

Our last minute costume stuff we got at DI- I bet you can't guess who we were...

Andrew making his costume

Andrew as the Scarecrow.  His shirt is stuffed with straw by the way...no his gut is not that big just yet.

Me as Dorothy (with my jacket on because we were about to leave).  This costume took me back to 6th grade when I was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz play in elementary school!  Good times :)

Taylor and Logan at the Dean's Halloween party.  They are probably the most hilarious couple we've met here in Provo..  They have no shame.  Called themselves the TiggerShark hahaha :)

Us

Dan and Lindsey as a gangsta and a fairy.  At first Dan's outfit didn't seem like a costume to me because it reminded me of some of the people I grew up with back home...hah! 

Corbin and Moena as Michael Phelps and his mom!  Hilarious!

Pumpkin carving with some of our best friends the Snowdens!





And another beautiful autumn view from our window.  We love our window!

For those of you who haven't heard what happened to our old car, all you need to know is that it's a sad story but that we are happy now.  This lovely used Dodge Stratus now sits contentedly in our reserved RA parking spot thanks to our jobs, financial aide, and our co-signing parents.  Since I chose the name for our old Toyota Camry (Chevrolet was the name), Andrew is insisting that he gets to choose the name for this car and he claims that it will be better than mine.  But so far he has yet come up with any names at all so I'm beginning to wonder if he just doesn't want our car to have a name.  So far I've been calling it ILA- after our insurance agent.  This might be permanent if he doesn't hurry up and choose one.  Anyway, here it is!  This little beauty has already saved us from many a cold walk, which is definitely what we will continue to need as winter approaches.  

This is what I'm most thankful for right now.
