Halloween and Birthday

Last weekend Jon and I had a blast. We got to celebrate my 22nd birthday with our families and our friends. Mom took me shopping on the morning of my birthday while Jon took a midterm. Thursday night we had dinner with the Crosby's and the Henriksen's at Thanksgiving point. It was so fun to get together with everyone. Friday was the day that Jon planned for my birthday celebrations with just the two of us. We went to the Salt Lake Temple and did our first session at that temple... it was beautiful! We had dinner at a little Italian restaurant downtown and headed up to the U to watch Thriller. It was such a fun day that we spent together! Saturday was a Halloween party at Jen's with my friends from high school. That was definitely the best Halloween party I've been to in a long time! Jon and I were pirates, of course, because of his recent obsession with everything to do with pirates (especially with his new acquisition of gold on his birthday). We had a fun weekend, but the fun continued on Monday. Monday night was the Crosby Halloween party and we got to dress up as pirates, yet again. What a fun weekend! Thanks everyone!

The Wedding

Jon's sister, Jessica got married on my Mom's birthday, October 5th. It was a great day to see family and be with Adam and Jess in the temple. We loved hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Alexander and Doni and Frank. They came over to see our apartment (they were large contributers to our beautiful furniture) and Jon fed them his favorite treat--JELLO. We loved having them here and miss them when we can't see them. Jess and Adam seemed pretty excited to be married, and they looked so great together. Jess is a beauty! We are so happy that they are married now... they are a fun couple. Jon just can't believe that his little sister actually got married... he is a proud brother.

After the wedding reception, we jumped in the car and drove straight to St. George to cheer Juli on in the marathon. She didn't know that we were coming and so it was fun to see her face when she realized we came. Matt and Becca were there with their darling little kids. I just love my nephews, Mitchell and Noah. They are absolutely the sweetest little boys I have ever met. I love my nieces too, Megs and Paige are growing up so fast! Leah wasn't there that weekend, but I missed her, she has such a cute little mini-Michelle personality. We love spending time with our families, they're our best friends.
