They were right.

So when they said it's cold here, they really meant it. 

My iphone tells me it's only -3... it has to be a lie. 

Feels like -20 to me! 

When the first snow fall happened, which was only a couple inches (nothing compared to what everyone else back home got! 3ft I believe?), I have to admit panic kind of set in. I was really stressing out about driving to work every morning in that rush of hundreds of vehicles, buses, and yes people still riding their bikes(that's a whole other story in itself). And especially since I have to travel to downtown each day, where I swear everybody and their dog is going each morning. 

I was pleasantly surprised! My expectations of slick roads and impatient people were not met; thankfully. Though the traffic was very slow, I was actually grateful! People were being cautious; I'm not going to complain about that! 

Having experienced my first winter in Calgary, in Storm and mine's first year of marriage was a NIGHTMARE. Everyone in a car acted like they had never seen snow before! What was this white crap and why is it soo slippery?.... Yes I developed road rage that year. 

So disappointed.. I don't have a costume for Halloween. 

And you guessed it, neither does Storm. But that's to be expected of him! Not me, I LOVE Halloween. 

My excuse, I have no where to wear it. Haven't heard of any party going on and I don't think where I work they dress up(since I'm really suppose to wear slacks, buuuut I don't always). I'm hoping maybe we'll get some trick or treaters so I can sport my witches hat! Which by the way is very cute and I'd wear it all the time if I could. 

Here's a little of what we've been up to..

a few of my Halloween decorations!

my first roast.. it was a success!

I drive this cute little road called

Broadway Ave to work everyday.

I really want to go to one of the

cafes someday!

first snowfall, taken from inside as per the 

poor quality! Doesn't look like any snow, but that's because my awesome husband shovelled all the snow on the back deck before I

had a chance to take a picture. 

My new found love. 

Nail art pen.. it's so fun!

I plan on doing spider webs for halloween!

I've asked Storm to do my right hand for me.. don't worry

I'll be taking pictures. 

My cute mother sent me this in the mail! Came with a 

package of things I needed and I wasn't expecting it at all! 

Those are the best:) 

Yes he shakes and sings. 

Movie suggestion for Halloween.. besides the oh so famous Hocus Pocus and of course E.T.{a tradition started at my Grandma Audrey's when we were young}.. I would suggest this. 

I absolutely LOVE it. 

sorry this was a very long post. I need to post more often so it's less long. 

If I don't get the chance to say it and the day passes..

happy halloween!!

             

Fall is here..

It feels as if the temperature dropped over night! 

The air is so crisp and that smell of fallen leaves sets that Autumn mood so well. 

Definitely my favorite time of the year. If only it would stay this way.. but I'm told that winter here in Saskatoon is just around the corner. 

And from what I'm told about the winters here, I don't think I am going to be prepared! Did I purchase any thermal underwear.. of course not. And why not? Because there's a small part of me willing myself to believe that they are all wrong! 

Thanksgiving weekend flew by! 

If Thanksgiving, General Conference, Pumpkin Pie (pumpkin ANTYHING), orange/yellow/red leaves don't scream FALL, then I don't know what does! 

Seeing and visiting family was so gratifying! 

When you move away from home, where all your family is, you become a lot more grateful for the things they do and the people they are. 

I had a first this weekend... I got to experience the Northern Lights on our drive home! We were almost to Saskatoon and Storm pointed them out to me as the sun started to set. 

I tried to get a picture with my phone..

Didn't work. 

I need to start taking my AWESOME camera Storm gave me for Christmas last year everywhere with me! 

Because sometimes those kind of moments never occur again! 

Though I'm sure I'll see them sometime in my life again, but for the first time.. never again. 

All I can say about those Northern Lights is what a Beautiful World we live in. We are so blessed, to have the opportunity to live upon something so magical all in itself. 

here's a bit of my weekend.. 

first pumpkin treat of the season.

Pumpkin smoothie. YUM

this boy, my little bro, had his bday before the weekend

he's 16!!

i got a new hair do

dark with ombre red

LOVE IT

i missed this face. 

oh and look what i came home to.

it's body alone was bigger than my thumbnail.

How nice of that spider to camp out in my bathtub.

As I was bending close to get this picture, my loving husband screamed, grabbed me, and tried to push me towards this beast. 

Not so nice things came out of my mouth(i've repented), why men find things like that soo entertaining I'll never know. 

So there is one downside to Fall...creepy crawlers think it's an invitation to come hang out inside. 

Pre-occupied with all the Thanksgivin' going on all weekend, Storm and I didn't realize that Taken 2 came out over the weekend! 

I know what we'll be doing this weekend..

That and setting up Halloween decor!!

What are you being for Halloween??

 trying to convince Storm that it's cool to dress up. 

wouldn't that be the cutest couples costume! 

i thought so. 

let me know what ya think:)
