Keeping up on this blog has been harder than I anticipated! I have a fun time writing posts but finding the motivation to write is a whole other story. I finally have the time and motivation to give you an update in the Kane life. It has sure been a busy month for us but October always is! I love October, by the way, it is by far my favorite month of the whole year. We just always have soooo much going on and there is never a dull moment.
October 1st-2nd:
This was a fantastic weekend for two reasons-opening day of the duck hunt and general conference. I love when general conference comes around because it just builds me up so much! I always feel better after watching general conference. We invited our good friends, the Fords, over for Sunday breakfast; it was so fun having them over. It was an awesome experience to watch conference in our first official home. I can't quite explain it but to know that this is the place we are going to start our family and watch conference for years to come is just humbling and I am so blessed.
I very much enjoyed the opening day of the duck hunt. I never ever thought in a million years that I would be a hunting girl....it's funny what hobbies you develop because they are your husband's hobbies. Sharing his excitement and love for hunting brings me joy. I didn't shoot anything but he did and that is what matters. The weather was beautiful and even thought that is terrible duck hunting weather it worked for me.

This day was probably the hardest day in October...maybe the hardest day of my life...my brother Harley got called to active duty and will most likely be deployed within the next few months maybe sooner. I am so proud of him and for his willingness to serve our county. I never thought I would ever have a family member in the service but now I do. It has been hard for me to accept that he might be deployed and that he will be in harms way. I am grateful for the technology we have that allows me to call him whenever I want. I know that our Heavenly Father will watch over him and comfort me until he gets home safely.
October 14th-16th:
This weekend we went hunting-yet again. This time it was with family on my grandmas side and it was for coyotes. Bob loves shooting coyotes and unfortunately they didn't see any in the area we were in. It was still a fun weekend camping and being outdoors. I love being outdoors and camping is my favorite thing to do!
October 21st-23rd:
This weekend was my fall break at SLCC, it also happened to be the weekend that my sweet husband and sister decided to surprise me with Yellowcard tickets to their last ever tour! I was ecstatic and couldn't believe they would do this for me! We drove down to St George on Thursday so we wouldn't be rushed Friday for the concert. Holly and and just made a girls day out of Friday and went to dinner before we drove down to the concert. The two opening bands were ok they weren't my favorite. When Yellowcard came on though it was awesome! They played a ton of songs and were unforgettable. I am still on cloud nine and am seriously contemplating going to their show here in Salt Lake on the 28th. I love Yellowcard and cannot believe they are done playing. I will be forever grateful for my husband and sister for taking me to this concert.
Saturday we spent the day seeing friends and crossing things off our St George to do list which included:
Saturday we spent the day seeing friends and crossing things off our St George to do list which included:
Babysitting Paige (we took her to the splash pad and rode the carousel too)
Eating at Durangos (so yummy)
Seeing his sweet grandpa Kane in Beaver Dam
Going to the Staheli Farm corn maze (it never disappoints)
And just soaking up as much sunshine as possible!
This upcoming week we are definitely staying busy. Bob's birthday is tomorrow, and on Friday we leave for our annual deer hunt in Blanding. Monday is my birthday and then next weekend we are throwing a Halloween party! I wasn't lying when I said our October is packed! I can't wait to see what this week brings! I hope at least one of us get a deer! That would be awesome! As always thanks for reading and, Thanks for Keeping up with the Kanes!
