So I realize that this is a month after the fact but school definitely got in the way of me posting as much as I have wanted to. But I am back with a bang! October was a month of fun for Jonathan and me, so we'll start there.
Something I have wanted to do forever was go to a pumpkin farm and so I decided to make it a date for me and Jonathan. I got creative this time, I did! I wrote Jonathan a poem, wrapped a chip can into gauze to make a mummy, and topped it with a mandarin orange with a jack o lantern face! On saturday afternoon, we set off on an adventure to Bon Accord to our Pumpkin farm which is only about 20 to 30 minutes away from our little apartment. When we got there we payed our way and went in to start on our pumpkin adventure! There was so much to do and see that I was excited that I had picked this date! We started off going to a haunted house where the boards move from being so old and you go around and around. I must not here that both Jonathan and I are chickens when it comes to scary things. So we waited for a group of people to go through the haunted house and when we got through it wasn't that bad because we knew where all the scares were. We could do it again right? Well we were obviously wrong. We decided that we would go once through right before we left... so we wandered off to see what else there was. In one part of the farm there was a hill billy hoe down and they played and strummed on their instruments for about an hour and they were surrounded with pumpkins of every shape and size! They were even grey pumpkins and that was weird to see.. But anyways, they were a really fun farm because they had a petting zoo with baby bunnies who were still so little that they had blue eyes. We got to hold a little piece of heaven as we were on our date and I think that was my favorite part. ON a side note, I love how farms never disappoint in living up to our childhood dreams because this farm had everything you would expect to see on a little farm without cows and horses. They had chickens, pigs, goats, ducks, and even pea****s! It was so fun to view all these animals as I did on a video master VHS i would watch daily as a child. After heading off from the petting zoo, we went through a little mini corn maze and took pictures with one another. It was fun being "lost" all by ourselves with no one to find us! Close to this little mini corn maze they had a pumpkin shooter where they were shooting off pumpkins to a pirate ship, it was really loud and Jonathan wanted to do it but the people were only allowed to put the pumpkin in the shooter and the farmer would shoot it off so we x'ed that idea. We wandered around looking at all the pumpkins and trying to pick out which one we would by, and in doing so stumbled across a face painting station! So I was a cat and Jonathan was a lion except the girls didn't do a very good job so we kind of look like massive freaks with colored faces when we went off in the next part of our date but hey it was all in fun! We ended up trying to make a fun scarecrow after finding our pumpkin, to put in our living room but we were just having a heck of a time trying to find pants that matched with a top and a head so we took off with one of the already finished products that had been forgotten. We took a hay ride and went to the real corn maze where we wandered off course and were picking up the dead corns that had fallen and throwing them into the field and had contests to see who could throw the farthest! Jonathan of course won but there were times where he would purposely throw short and let me win! What a boy! After we came back on our hay ride to the entrance, we decided to go through the haunted house once more. We knew that the farm at this point was closed and so we waited until two girls kept running through and just screaming to scare one another. They left as we were taking pictures and we made it through with no scares. Jonathan asked if he could take a picture of me and BAM right when the light was going off! This stupid rat in this trashcan by where we were standing popped out! We had totally forgotten that this rat was there and so we screamed and ran out. Laughing and Laughing because we had known it was there. And that is the end of our fun little pumpkin farm date!
Our little pumpkin and decorations:
THe next big event of October this year was actually two. One the was sad that have touched many people's hearts and also a very joyous one! The first of a major emotion filled week was Sarah's dad, who is now my sister-in-law, her dad died 6 days before her wedding before a massive stroke! It was a really hard week to be away from my family and I know that a Heavenly Father was listening to our prayers as we prayed daily for them. It was hard because they would call and you could tell how strong they were all trying to be but everyone was hurting from this tragic loss. Sarah's dad is one who will definitely be remembered for his sense of humor. It had been years since I had seen him and he was there with open arms when he met Jonathan and saw me. Jonathan called him the OC dad because of the way he dressed and acted. The funniest thing about Dave that we remember is when Sarah's mom was talking about how quiet Sarah was in comparison with Cale we all thought Melanie was joking and so Dave looked at his wife, and remarked, "Yeah, Hunny just like how quiet you are!" Haha and everyone cracked up laughing! I admired Cale and Sarah for their courage to continue on in the face of affliction and tragedy. The wedding was really good and so busy! I didn't realize how busy weddings were until the morning of the wedding My mom, Terry, Jonathan and I are running around the chapel setting up a luncheon. We have half an hour until the sealing and I look like i've rolled out of bed that I was freaking out about what I looked like. I still feel all over the place from that wedding because of hor much we traveled around I lost my pants,a necklace, and numerous other things that become apparent as time moves forward. I don't know what to say about the wedding. Cale and Sarah you guys make a wonderful couple. Keep one another close to your heart!! That's my two cents!
Lovee
