I'm going home in less than a week. I can't wait! I'm sad that not everyone will be there, but it will be good to spend some alone time with mom and dad and just relax and get away for a while. I plan to do some 4-wheeling, float down the creek, shop with mumsy, walk around the fields with mumsy, take the ranger out for a few rides, and have some of mom's homemade bread. :) I'm considering driving to NH to visit people and see the nephews there, but I haven't decided yet. We'll see when the time comes.
The Utah State Fair is this weekend and all of next week. We were going to go tonight, but Jon hasn't been feeling well. And who wants to go to the fair when you're feeling sick? So hopefully he'll be all better by Monday and we can go then, instead.
Tomorrow night we are going to a benefit concert and the proceeds go to physical therapy for kids with disabilities. Perfect, huh, since he's in the PTA program! I have no idea what kind of music is going to be played, but I'm sure it will be a good time.
I babysat 5 kids by myself this past Wednesday. Kudos to everyone who can do that. I think everything starts going downhill right before the parents get home. It ALWAYS happens. Someone wakes up, someone needs a diaper change, a baby starts to cry, or someone is needing a drink. I probably look so incompetent when the parents walk in the door! Haha. Oh well, I think that happens to everyone, some time or another.
Anyway, that's the update for now. I need to post some pictures that we took from our Nebo Loop trip. I think we may have to do it again, or at least do the Alpine Loop to get some pictures of the leaves changing.

Autumn
I love fall. It's my favorite season. The tree colors on the mountains are beginning to change! I can't wait to pick pumpkins and have apple cider and go through a cornfield maze and wear sweatshirts and sweaters and my cowgirl boots!
On Friday last week, Jon and I went to SLC and walked around temple square and enjoyed the flowers and scenery. I love that place - it's so peaceful and you can definitely feel the Spirit. I should have taken more pictures! We walked over to the church museum and spent over an hour there; the workers are very informative and I loved hearing the stories and history of a lot of the items (sometimes it was hard to walk away - they just kept talking!)
Megan and I went to the Relief Society service project last Thursday. We went to the local cemetery and helped rake and clean up the grass. It was pretty fun, the ladies in Relief Society are great. I feel a sense of unity with the sisters that I meet with every Sunday and I love joining them every week. It was extra cool because I talked to Jon afterwards and told him that I saw Jesse Knight's grave (his something-great grandfather). I love family history and even at the church history museum we saw letters that were written by some of his family members. I told him to get them back - haha. There are a lot of Knights in the church, and I'm sure a lot of them would love to have a part of their ancestors.
I'm going home in a week and a half and I can't wait! It's time to take a break and just be away from work and Provo for a bit and relax in the country and with family.
Today is Labor Day. Thank you to all of the Laborers out there. That's what I'm doing right now. Working 9-4. Joy. (Then again, it's double pay. So I can't complain!)
