Lucky

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to go to the General Relief Society Broadcast. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that there are women everywhere who are listening to the same thing. I really enjoyed the talk given by President Uchtdorf. He talked about how all women feel inadequate and we have no reason to. We are daughters of our Heavenly Father and we have such divine qualities. I really appreciate his words because I felt like he was talking to just me as I'm sure a lot of women out there felt. We all have trials and they are all different but are all significant to each of us. I am grateful that we have the Savior who knows all our fears and trials and is there for us and here to comfort us. I am so excited for General Conference and to hear from the Prophet!

Fall Weather

So it is officially fall and it sure feels like it here in good ole Rexburg. I am hoping that it warms up just a bit for a few more weeks. I am not ready for winter. Yesterday we went for a walk and we had to make sure Ethan was bundled up nice and warm so that he wouldn't be too cold. I just thought he looked so cute. We are defineitly going to have to get him winter stuff becuase the winter stuff we thought would fit most certainly does not. He doesn't fit into 12 months, he is too big. I am so glad he is I love his chubby cheeks. We are loving being back in Rexburg.

The Cubs Game

August 29th was one of the best times I've had in a long time, we went to the Chicago Cubs game. We drove down to Wisconsin the day before and stayed with my brother Mike and we met Mike there, he drove from DC on his way home to Idaho. I hadn't seen him in a month and it was so good to see him. The next day the fun began, it was a day game so we headed down early and rode the el train. and then we got to Wrigley, I had been there a lot when I was real little and even met Harry Carey, I just don't remember any of it. We were at the second row from the top but it was still awesome seats and just great to be there. Ethan was really good and it was a really exciting game. The Cubs won and it was great. After the game we walked down to the seats that are really close to the field. It was so neat to see the Ivy so close and we tried to find the infamous Steve Bartman seat. We were told that they had remodeled it since that day and it no longer existed but we went to where about it would be. One day I hope to sit so close but it is so expensive, it's like 250 just to get close. Hopefully one day.

Minnesota

So for the whole month of August I was able to spend in Minnesota with my family. I went for a little reunion and stayed becuase tickets are so expensive to fly back and forth so I stayed. It worked out really well since it was getting really hard in DC not ever being able to see Mike and with a little guy like Ethan it was hard to get out and do anything fun. We mostly just hung out and visited the mall and the lake and played Wii. I got to hang out with my best friend before she left for her mission to Australia and got to play lots of volleyball. I had so much fun and am so grateful for my parents for letting me stay and all the help they gave me. While there Ethan grew so much, he can sit up now and has two teeth!! I didn't take many pictures since we didn't do much but I will post some of the ones I have.
