Fall Catch Up

So much has been going on in the last couple of weeks! Madi came to town... we went to Cornbelly's of course! #lildiny #corncops

Since flights for Thanksgiving are so expensive, we flew out to Atlanta/Athens to go see my parents and brother.

We drank lotsa Coke at Coke World.

Devoured Georgetown Cupcakes.

Watched UGA football.

Aaand ate plenty of good food.

Was a good trip and wish we could visit more.

Two days after we got back from ATL, I hopped back on a plane for Denver for a one day work meeting. Traveling so much for work has made me hate airports. Atleast I get first class every once in a while.

Spence, Lexi, Aaron and I just purchased a VW bus! We are going to get into the events industry and do a photo booth bus!

So far it's already been a lot of work, but I'm excited.

We've been getting together every night for hours on end to create the business plan, financials, bus mechanics, marketing... you get it.

It's exciting to see things come along. Currently we are working on a logo with a designer, the bus is getting fixed up in Riverton and we are starting to order interiors.

Here's to hoping this side hustle works!

Besides the side hustle and our regular jobs... we'll be busy raking leaves all weekend... at least it's pretty?

New Eyes!

My birthday present from Aaron this year was lasik surgery!

3 months later I finally redeemed it! I've wanted to get lasik for a while... and with a steady prescription and no plans for kids in the next few months... I braved it and scheduled a date.

I was soooo nervous... the fact you are AWAKE during the whole surgery was a little eery.

Luckily I know plenty of people who have had the surgery done and have reassured me it was one of the best decisions they made.

 ^Putting the numbing drops in just seconds before I walked into the operating room!

 ^Right before the doctor drew on my eyeballs with a sharpie!

Aaron stayed and watched the surgery live in another room! It was cool to see from another perspective what exactly they were doing.

I rested the rest of the day in the dark sleeping and listening to music and podcasts and by night time my vision was clear!

It was pretty neat... and I'm so glad I got it done!

Cornbelly's

Cornbelly's is one of my favorite things about Fall. Each year it just gets bigger and better.

Spencer, Lexi, Aaron and I went early in the season before it's too chilly at night.

We stopped at J-Dawgs on the way day and chomped down the yummy hot dogs and sauce.

 From the classic big rocking chair, to the corn maze, to big bouncy.. aka the bouncy pillows we had so much fun!

So glad we got to go... who know we may take another visit this year. Thanks Cornbelly's!

Moab

Life has not be slowing down lately. Aaron and I have both been traveling for work, we are planning more trips in October, lasik eye surgery is tomorrow (yay/eeek) conference came and left aaand much more.

Life has been so incredibly hard lately. I've learned life never happens as you'd expect/want it. I've just had to roll with all the punches coming at me. Through it all though, I feel like I've been able to grow into myself and learn a lot about myself and the importance of staying close to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

I've learned I can't control every outcome and that as long as I'm doing my part to be the best and most Christlike that I can be... things will find a way of working out, no matter how long it takes.

Okay rant over! Part of the current craziness of life was planning, organizing and hosting a conference for a client in Moab.

Man it was exhausting! From sun up to sundown for three days we were making sure everything was taken care of from AV to food to ATV's to hotel rooms to budgets and more.

In between all the meetings, we took the group out on ATV's to Hell's Revenge.

I have never ridden and ATV there... man it was so much fun/thrilling/scary/gorgeous!

I was a wuss and didn't drive.. but can you blame me? Look at these hills!

 We stayed at the Red Cliffs Lodge just up the canyon highway from Moab.

 If you've never been there, you must go now! It's the coolest resort, right on the Colorado River surrounded by tall red cliffs.

And this was my view waking up earrrrly in the morn!
