We found a house! I am so excited!!! It's amazing how things work out better than we imagined. We have been looking and looking for a house and we almost bought like 4, but nothing worked out until now. At the time it was really hard because we kept thinking there couldn't be anything better, but then right at the perfect time we found this house right after they had droped the price. We put our offer in right away and after 3 weeks our offer was accepted. I can't wait to move in and start putting stuff away. It's in Maple Grove, MN. It's close to Adam's work and right by an amazing lake. The lake has a biking/walking path around it which also leads to some really cool trails. We went to our new ward today and it seems like we will fit right in. There were a lot of people from Utah...who are orphans like us (with no family out here). I am hoping we can make some friends. We are closing and start moving on Tuesday this week. I plan on taking pictures so all can see! Wish us luck with our busy week.

O Fall how I love thee! Really I do love fall and all of the fun things that come with it. I have been really getting in the mood. I made some butternut squash soup, bought some fall smelling wallflowers from b@b (holy crap the "fall leaves"and "cranberry woods" ones smell so good!), and have gone outside a ton to enjoy the leaves. I couldn't resist putting some photos up and I had a very hard time choosing which ones because I love them all. On Sunday Adam and I went to our friends, Erin and Bradly's, house to watch conference. It was great and I made some delicious taco soup. After conference we went to Maple Grove (right close to the the house we are trying to buy.. fingers crossed! 4th time's the charm) where there is one of the most amazing trails. It goes all the way around Rice Lake and then to Elm Creek Park Reserve. I have to say MN is growing on me.

Happy Birthday Adam!

Adam had his 29th birthday this week. I surprised him with some of his favorite things... twins tickets , soup in bread bowls before the game, some oatmeal raisin cookies form subway, market pantry brand fruit snacks and a few new tools. I know him so well. I am so happy that 29 years ago a little baby boy was born that would some day be my husband. We had a great time at the game even thought it was a little chilly. Minneapolis has a new baseball Field and it is amazing. The sky line of down town Minneapolis is so cool and no matter where you sit you can see everything.

The other big news of the week is that the bank finally( after 2 weeks) excepted our offer on the house we want. We still have to have and inspection and a radon test. But after that we will have to decide if we want it. I am super SUPER excited about this one and I hope everything works out. I can't stop thinking about it and I have already planed out paint colors, furniture arrangements, how I want to spruce up the yard and a hole bunch of other projects. We will have to see what the next week brings :).

Today we went to a Renaissance festival in Shakopee. It was kinda fun (would have been more fun with kids). We had some ginormous turkey legs and they look gross but they were delicious. We saw some jousting, fire juggling, and a bunch of odd people. OOOh and we also had some Carmel apples with Cinnamon ice cream. So much for my diet! Some times I just have to cheat or I'll go insane.

Labor day weekend!

We went to Nauvoo this weekend and had a great time. We went through the temple and then went down to the town and saw all of the houses and other old buildings. We also drove to Carthage and saw the jail. It has been about 15 years sense Adam was there and about 5 years for me. Wow its amazing all of the things that the pioneers did. We drove down to this spot over looking the Mississippi where they have a plaque with all of the names of the people that never made it to the Salt lake valley. We both had relatives on the it and I kept thinking about how lucky I am that I never had to cross the plains. Or ever have my husband leave and have to go on a mission after we were married for more then 2 years. I never had my family die along the way or have to leave everything behind. I am so blessed to live in this time. Also at that spot over looking the river it tells about them crossing the Mississippi while it was frozen over and we walked on the very road that they had all lined up the wagons to head west. How scary that would be..... Thank you pioneers for being so strong and brave.

I had a really spiritual experience while I was in the temple. Adam and I had been rushing to get to the 9:00 session and we got their just in time. right as soon as I sat down I started have some horrible cramps ( I think all of the fertility meds and hormones make Aunt flow 10x more painful then normal). So I was sitting there sweating bullets and thinking I don't know if I am going to be able to do this. I was almost in tears and I just said a little prayer asking Heavenly Father if he could please just take the cramps away tell I was done in the temple. The most amazing thing happened... they went away . I don't really ever get answers to my prayers so fast, most of the time I have to be patient. I am so thankful that I was able to make it through the temple and I felt the spirit so strong. I know Heavenly Father is aware of me and if it was right for me to have a baby right now he would help that happen. I had some setbacks just today with my next cycle getting cancelled until next month. It really sucks but that's just the way it is. I will survive and I guess I am just not ready to be a momma yet. Maybe it will be nice to take a break.....

My sweet husband had these gorgeous long stem pink roses delivered to my work yesterday. I was having a bad day but the funny thing is he didn't know I was until after he had ordered the flowers. I wish you could smell and see them in real life. What a sweetheart Adam is. I think I'll keep him.

Adam and I went to the Minnesota state fair last night. It was so busy and while we were there we saw some smoothies that looked so good. They were really expensive so we decided to go home and make our own. Adam smoothie had ; peach yogurt, peaches, raspberry sorbet, ice, pineapple and pina colada mix. Mine had ; peaches, peach yogurt, figs, pineapple, ice, and pina colada mix. They were so yummy and let me tell you everything tastes good when you use a pineapple as a cup! o and this picture was taken at like 11:30 last night so I look tired and Adam looks crazy lol!!! (s0 lets pretend that we don't really look this ugly all the time)
