It's Fall, Ya'll

That's right folks! Fall is upon us and this girl could not be more excited! I've always been a fall girl, October is the best month of the year-in my opinion. Plus this weather is something to smile about...for now!

I love everything listed above 

This past week has been very busy! For starters, my sweet sister came up for a week long visit! I love when she comes up North and I wish we lived closer to see each other more often. When we made the decision to move from St George that was the hardest part-leaving my sister once again (the first time I did it was when I moved to St George in 2009). We have been apart for 2 years now and it still hasn't gotten any easier. I tried to spend as much time with her and Paige as I could. That little Paige is so grown up now and I just love her. We spent one night together just playing outside and then playing in the bath! We sang songs, and played hide and seek. It was blast! We also got to go to the zoo! Finally! I've been begging Bob all summer to take me but we just haven't had the time. I was thrilled to go with my mom, sisters, and of course little Paige! My favorite part was taking Paige on the carousel-she absolutely loves ridding the carousel! She gets the biggest smile and is so giggly when she rides it. Such a fun moment for me to experience.

It really was the best way to spend a Saturday! I wish there were more like it! The rest of the week was definitely unexpected! I woke up Monday and my throat felt weird. It wasn't sore but more like congested. I didn't really think anything of it and then Tuesday I was sick! I had a head cold from down under. I was feeling pretty crappy, I had to go to math because it was my day to lead the class of course. I came home and realized that my ears were not popping and were starting to hurt. Most times when I get sick I always get an ear infection-and those require antibiotics which requires a prescription. So dang I figured I better go to the instacare, and sure enough my ears were not draining and were indeed infected. He gave me a prescription AND strict bed rest orders for two days! I had to work the following night and was freaking out that I was going to have to call in sick. Believe it or not I've never called in sick to work during my time here at IHC...I just never have. So I called in sick to work, school, and said peace to my chores for a couple of days. I watched the whole 5 season of New Girl (wasn't too impressed but still enjoyed it), and slowly got better. I went back to work on Friday and wasn't 100% better but at least I could be out of bed for more than an hour without wanting to die.

Since Friday I have had to catch up on everything that didn't get taken care of while I was out of commission. Bob tried his best to keep up on the house work but he had two church meetings, (Oh he was recently put in as the Elders Quorum 1st councilor, so happy for him!)1 work meeting and was also getting a little sick himself. So Saturday we cleaned and then decided to go out to dinner, we chose to go out to Texas Roadhouse with my sweet grandparents. It wasn't much but we loved our little sick free date night. Bob also surprised me with a new shot gun! The opening day of the duck hunt is October 1st and he really wanted me to have my own shot gun for that day! He is always so thoughtful and kind. I am so excited for this hunting season-I have two new guns, and a tag! I hope we have a successful year!

I hope that this week is a bit more calm and more healthy! I hope everyone has an awesome Monday and a great week! Thanks for reading and as always, 

Thanks for Keeping up with the Kanes!

Trying something new!

It has been forever since I have done a published blog post...I have many that I have started to write but never finish...I suck. Recently I have had some promptings I guess you could say, that I need to start writing again. I thought that was a weird a prompting to get but one of my other fellow bloggers recently returned to the blogging world because she had promptings about it. I thought well shoot I am not the only one! Plus those stupid Facebook memories that I get every day are always filled with blog entries from my college blog. I love re-reading about all the experiences I had in college. I am so grateful that I have those memories to look back on.

Bob and I are in our first years of marriage and I want to always have these memories to look back on. I am so upset that it has taken this long to get back to my dear old blog. I don't know why I ever got out of the habit of blogging but I am going to try my hardest to get back into it!

Just a quick update:

• We are still both working at IHC-it's an awesome company and we love it. I'm still in the courier department-I actually hit my 7 year mark this month...wow! I am still doing my dispatching thing at night. Bob is now a security officer at Primary Childrens, he works days and we both love that. Before he was working swings and we hardly saw each other. 
• We still have the  two dogs Ali and Ava and want a third...OK I want another puppy but they are so cute so can you blame me? 

• I am still on track to becoming a teacher, I have two more semester of pre-requisites and then I will be in the program. I'm so excited to finally be at that stage in my schooling where I am in the program and not just still doing those pesky pre-requisites. 
• The biggest update is that we bought a house! It's been ours for the two months and we are in love! It is the perfect house for us and we were so blessed to find it! It has the biggest yard ever and our dogs love it. It has so much potential and we are excited to make it what we want. The yard came with a garden area and I can't wait till next spring to start planting stuff and I hope I have a green thumb. We casually started the house hunt at the beginning of the year since our apartment contract was up in May and we really didn't want to resign. We thought about renting a house but no one would take our pets so we then seriously started looking to buy in April and found this one in May! We had a couple of hiccups during the closing process due to repairs that had to be made but we finally signed our life away and are now real adults with a water bill. I seriously have never had a water bill and it freaked me out at the beginning because I didn't know how much it would cost especially with our yard but it's not that bad. The house is in Magna Utah and we love it there. We have been driving around trying to find out where everything is and every day we fall more in love with this little town. Our ward is amazing and we got lucky. I am so glad to be done renting and done with the house buying process. It wasn't so bad until the end with all the hiccups but it was still stressful.

Other than that we are just living our life and having a good time doing it. We are just trying to plan our fall activities since summer is over, It just flew right by and I can't believe that fall is just right around the corner. I've really come to love the fall season and all it entails so I'm OK with summer being over so I can enjoy a season that I love with the man that I love!

Thanks for Keeping up with the Kanes!
