Things I crave...

I've realized over the past couple of weeks that there are things I like, things I enjoy doing, and then there are things I CRAVE!
1) Time with my husband. (This was actually the 4th thing I thought of, but I didn't want him to be offended.) :}
2) Chocolate Chunky Chocolate Ice Cream
3) Watching Hockey Games.... seriously, it's an addiction!
4) Using coupons at craft stores- I can't buy anything unless it's on sale and if I have a coupon, I'll go to the craft store even though I don't NEED anything, just so I can use it.
5) Bare feet!!!!!! Nothing really needs to be added to this- I hate shoes! Not just shoes, shoes AND socks.
6) Pictures. I take my camera almost everywhere. I don't know how many times I've made Fred carry it around "just incase" I want to take a picture.
7) Stress.... I don't think I crave it, I think that it comes searching for me.
8) Lists, lists, and more lists. Shopping lists, to-do lists, packing lists,....

Pumpkin Walk.... it's tradition!

Fred & I started going to the Logan Pumpkin Walk when we were dating- actually I think it was one of 5 Student Ward FHE's that I went to. The first time we went the line was forever long and it was freezing... nothing's changed yet we've made it a tradition to go every year since.

It's held every year in October the weekend before Halloween. Different people from the community put together a scene using pumpkins (& squash) - for almost everything. This year was a little warmer as we walked around the field. They had some fun scenes.

Everything was fine until we got to the end of the trail where you go into a building with that has a funny scene & the really detailed carved pumpkins. Obviously the line is going to back up as people wait their turn to look closely. They also have a witch sitting in a chair for kids to talk to and they hand out a little snack (generally hard cookies). Then you get the annoying people that think they're "too good" to stand in line and go in the Exit of the building - making the wait for those of us who can read signs such as "Enter" and "Exit" even longer. It's a good thing the scene was funny and worth the wait.

(It's a scene with Obama in a crib with a sign that says "Too Young" and McCain in a rocking chair wearing a "I like Ike" pin.)

We stopped and picked up cinnamon rolls and ate them with Hot Chocolate at Crystal's (my little sister) apartment. It was fun to visit her, but I DO NOT wish I was back in college... studying, roommates, living near campus, parking lots with idiots.....Married life is the life for me! Not to mention the guy that lives above her that sounded like he counting out how many paces long his apartment was!
