My sister in law Shayna is helping me make my very first Halloween costume this year along with Aarons. I'm gonna be Sally-The Nightmare Before Christmas' Jack Skellingtons love interest and Scott is(of course!) going to be Jack. Aaron, despite my fear of 8 legged creatures, wants to be a SPIDER!!!!! I was completely floored when he said that. But, I've been trying to look at them with a better perspective and only kill them once I look at them for about 10 seconds to try to not be so scared of such a small thing. Nonetheless I haven't won that battle yet but I am still letting Aaron be one for Halloween. We bought some of the items to make a cute spider costume so I think I'll be okay for one night:) Will says he wants to be Bumblebee transformer again but we want him to be a Lightening McQueen guy so i'm gonna try and see what I can scrounge up for that. I've never made my own costume before so I'm super excited about it! Feeling a Suzy homemaker and what not:))
My other reason for loving Autumn is my birthday. I'll be 27 this year and I am trying to not be like so many people out there who hate getting older. Of course, your body doesn't work and/or probably look as good as it did when you were younger but we all knew it would happen so I'm trying to see the glass has half full as I age...hopefully gracefully:)) I told Scott all I wanted for my birthday was to have a clean(er) house so I can feel the Spirit more abundantly when in it. There's nothing more amazing than being able to come home after a long day of work and feeling welcomed by a delightful Scentsy warmer burning your fav fragrance and the dishes done, the floors cleaned and just relaxing a bit before going about the rest of the day.
As a member of the church I am so grateful for knowing who I really am(daughter of God-holla!:)) and that I have the opportunity to partake of the blessings of Heaven if I want them. Which means, doing the 'seminary things.' Reading your scriptures. Saying your prayers. Loving one another as He does. It still shocks me how much love I feel and inspiration for my own life whenever I do these things. I don't mean to make this a preachy blog but for those of you who are having a rough go at life-remember WHO YOU ARE! A child of God and as such, amazing:) Keep your chin up and I promise to do my best too:)
Mmkay I will post pics soon of the funnest ahead! Love all you guys!
