Wild Adventure

Last weekend we went to the Wild Adventure Corn Maze in Blackfoot. It was both of our first time going to it, and we really liked it. Actually, it was my first time ever going to a corn maze. We went in the afternoon so we wouldn't freeze, and the weather was perfect. There are three different mazes all in one. It is huge!

For an hour straight this is all we saw.. I loved it.

I really liked that they had check points within the maze and a map. Although, the map didn't seem to help us to get out at all. It was nice to know where we were when we could actually find a check point. Please note that check point five was punched three times. Somehow we kept coming back to it..

It was such a fun date!

 There was so much for kids to do there. I can't wait to have kids for all of these fall activities. I can't believe that October is coming to a close so fast. It nearly breaks my heart. I feel like I still have so many more October activities to blog about, and so little October to do it in. 

Please Don't Make Me the Librarian

This semester I'm take a class called elementary early field experience. I love this class. This is our first real introduction to teaching. Twice a week we go to a local elementary and observe, teach, and help out in a classroom. On Wednesdays my first graders are in the room, and on Fridays they go to library and gym so we help the teacher prep.

Now that the background is set I have a funny story to tell. When we got there last Friday we found out that the librarian wasn't there. Due to budget cuts they aren't getting substitutes for her anymore. The teacher asked me if I would take them to the library and read them a story for half an hour since she really needed the prep time. They weren't going to be checking out books or anything complicated. Sounds easy, right? That's what I thought too, and it was until the last five minutes...

So wish I would have worn my glasses that day 

We read Stellaluna since they were finishing up a week about bats. We were discussing discussing the differences between bats and birds when I heard one boy complain about getting slapped in the face by another boy. I told the kids that it isn't nice to hit and that we need to keep our hands to ourselves. I thought everything was fine, and then the next thing I knew the boy who got hit is bawling his eyes out. The library isn't connected to the school at all so I was completely alone in dealing with this(which I know a normal teacher would be, but I don't even know the students' names yet..). This student couldn't have picked a worse time to cry because I needed to get them lined up and headed to gym. Somehow I got the kid to calm down, and everything turned out kind of fine, but if I was never a librarian again I would be more than happy.

Half a Year

We have been married for six months as of today! I seriously can't believe it. Honestly, I feel like we're kicking butt at this marriage thing. We rarely fight, and I wouldn't even call anything we do fighting. It's more like we're moody, and your annoying me. Some people would say that's because we're still in the 'honeymoon phase', but I don't believe that is the case at all. We just get along so well!

Love days that I get to spend with this kid.

We spent our day going to church, cleaning our apartment, making pumpkin cookies(for like the 3rd time since the beginning of October... no shame), and watching more episodes of New Girl then I would like to admit. It has been perfect.

Randoms

School and work is taking up all of my time. I don't have time to blog or to read blogs like I used to and I hate it. For the nine months I wasn't in school I could do anything i wanted with my free time, but I'm not sure what free time even is anymore. 

 We found a rug we liked. (Yes things are still crooked on the wall. oh well.) I like it cause its bold and says, "Hey I'm an awesome rug that costs more than something you only walk on should so notice me!" I have no idea how red and black became the colors for our living room, but were rockin' it either way.

We went on a date to the dentist last night. It was just as enjoyable as it sounds. A couple hundred dollars later and I think it's safe to say that it was the worst and most expensive date we have ever been on.

We live above psychotic people. I'm not even kidding. It's a man and a woman, could be married who knows, and their around 1 year old baby. They seemed so normal when we moved in, but now we listen to them fight All The Time. They scream at their baby to stop crying like they actually think it will make her stop. They scream and curse at each other all the time which I'm pretty sure makes their baby cry even more. And their child doesn't seem to have a bedtime, and I find that to be really strange. We have come home after 9, and they have been outside smoking with their child walking around in the cold. I don't mean to judge them because it isn't any of my business, but holy crap you're kinda making it our business when we can hear everything.

About a month ago I dropped my phone on our kitchen floor, and this was the result. I had just put a new screen protector on a day or two before it happened so I dealt with it because I couldn't feel it and could still kind of see what I was doing. The only reason I got it fixed was because I put a new case on and it pushed up the screen protector and with all the glass stuck to it it wouldn't stay on my screen anymore and it was crazy sharp. I love having a nice screen again. I highlyyy suggest not shattering your screen because the cheapest place we could find cost 85 dollars.

Halloween has hit our apartment, and I can't wait to share some of our cute decorations with you. (I'll get around to it sometime soonishh)

Taylor's brother, Jordan, and his wife stopped by last weekend to see our new apartment. It was fun to get to show off everything we have done with the apartment. Sadly, they didn't get to stay for long, but it was still nice to see them.

Date Nights

We never do anything super special for date nights, but at least we did something this week. Twice this week actually :) On Monday or maybe it was Tuesday we made pizza! And on Saturday we made caramel apples. 

I love the easy Chef Boyardee pizza maker boxes. They come with everything you need(just add water and a little oil), and I think it costs 2 dollars and some change. Hello cheap date! Although the cheese it comes with isn't very good so I suggest buying some good cheese to top it with. 

I swear that every time we try to do something Taylor ends up on the phone with one of his family members.. The boy used at least double the minutes I did last month.

I was going to get the caramel cubes, but they didn't have them by the apples and I didn't feel like hunting for them so I grabbed these wraps. So glad I did. They were only a dollar something, there was absolutely no mess, they were easy, and they really were fun for everyone This is definitely the way to go! You can't do a fall/Halloween activity without Halloween Pandora.

Aren't we the cutest?! Man am I glad that I married this boy.
