Back Again!!

For some reason I always do picture posts... :) I never actually take the time to write too much, but I shall blog through pictures. :D So- here are some more pictures since my last picture post. I hope they make you smile. Maybe I'll actually WRITE a post sometime in the near future. But then again, maybe not. In the meantime, everything is going well here in Spanish Fork! Steve and I are still just working and having a good time! We've been called to be CTR 5 teachers in our ward, and we start teaching on the 16th. I am really looking forward to teaching/singing/playing/eating snacks with the 4-5 year olds in our ward! :) Today I took my first sick day from work. You would think that I would have had time to blog today, but instead I decided to read the entire third Harry Potter book. For some reason, I've gotten into rereading that series, as well as reading for the first time the Anne of Green Gables series. Fun stuffs. Anyway- here are the pictures, and I hope I'll be back soon! Enjoy!
PS- these pictures are very much out of order... so you may want to read the caption above each picture so that they make more sense. Yes, I am too lazy to figure out what order they go in. :) Cheers!

So- Over UEA my family invited us up to the Homestead for a night. On our way up, Steve and I decided to stop by Bridal Veil Falls. Here we are. :)

A few days before Halloween, we were invited to Raj's house for some fine Indian cuisine! Steve used to work with Raj- a very kind Indian man who speaks limited English. During their time working together, Raj brought lunch for Steve, and Steve gave him rides home from work. It was great to meet his wife, daughter in law, and granddaughter. They all spoke limited English, but they fed us fantastic Indian food! We can't wait to have them over to our house sometime!

On the 23rd, my cousin Holly got married! Yay for Holly and Michael! Unfortunately, I had parent teacher conferences that day, and I couldn't leave to attend the ceremony. Here's a picture of the ceremony taken by my cousin Katie, and a picture of me, my sister, and my grandma at the reception that night in Salt Lake.

Also before Halloween, Steve's brother Nate and his wife Monica invited us to go to Cornbelly's maze at Thanksgiving Point. It was loads of fun! We raced through the long maze... they finished first, but we saw all the signs, so we both won!... and then found some other forms of entertainment, like the big bouncy pillow, and being buried in a room full of corn...

Here's a picture of Me and Steve at the Homestead- we're on top of the biggest hill in the valley, and I just think this is a fun picture. I LOVE Midway! It is the cutest little town in the entire world! And... it has lots of fabulous model homes. (An addiction of mine...)

I think this picture is funny- it's me and my parents, but I look way too excited... :)

Me and my llama friend. This was actually taken a while ago, when Steve and I went to the Hindu Temple in Spanish Fork. They have llamas, peacocks, parrots, and zebus on their property. Awesome! And the temple itself is very pretty! The president gave us a tour, and we even got to watch part of a ceremony. It was really neat!


More recently, here we are at Halloween! Steve went as Murray, the red wiggle, and I went as an East High cheerleader. I can't even tell you how many adults got super excited and asked if I really was an East High cheerleader... :)

Our fantastic pumpkin! Nothing compared to last year's spectacular witch duck on a broomstick, but it was a lot of fun. It's actually an albino pumpkin (the white ones... :D), because all of the orange ones were so big. :D


Even more recently, like Saturday, I chopped my hairs! I also stained them. My normal color is now starting to come back, and I think I'll leave it that way, at least for a while. I do want to get a little bit thicker bangs, but all in all, I love my new hairs!! My two favorite reactions from school:
1- one little girl from across the room: "Where did Mrs. Corry go??"
2- my absolute favorite!! A super cute little boy walks in and says, "Wow Mrs. Corry!!! It looks like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today!! But... it will grow back... right??" I laughed really hard. :D

And lastly, this is a really old picture, but I think it's fun. We used part of our gift cards from our wedding to buy a tent and a sleeping bag for me. I got so excited when we got it that I snuggled up in it as soon as we got home to try it out. Steve said I looked like a little cocoon. I really like my sleeping bag... :D

And that's the end! I guess I did write a fair amount in this post... :) I hope you all have a fantastic day!!!

Yay for a post from the Corry hood! :) It is good to hear more of what is going on in your lives! I'm sorry you were sick... it's hard not to get sick when you work in a school!

Anyway, keep the pictures and the posts coming because they are oodles of fun!

I love Anne of Green Gables, I read the whole series at least twice a year and I am always so sad to end them that I always read the last one twice. Enjoy!!

Judy said...
