It's finally October!

Oh. My. Gosh.

Can we just soak in the fact that it's October right now?!?

I freaking love October! 

It is my favorite month... and my birthday is in August so that's saying a lot!

Before we get to October though, let's recap September.

Brian, Rylan and I went to Chalk the Block at the Riverwoods. Rylan saw half naked men play (pathetically) with fire. Brian had his first funnel cake, yeah. 

Seriously?

Who did I marry?

We also went to the women's expo at UVU where we ran into the first human Rylan ever met! Our sweet Obstetrician, Dr. Allen. 

I tell people when this man retires, I stop having children.

People laugh, like it's a joke.

But I'm dead serious.

Brian and I went to Boondocks to go-kart with his brother and sister and their spouses. 

Emily, Suzie and I discovered we are a walking joke.. literally.

Rylan bonded with her dad on her first date.

Last weekend, Brian and his brother Ben went to the Olympic Park in Park City, Utah. Suzie and I had purchased Bobsledding living social deals so they could go together. They had a great time. Rylan joined in on the fun and went snowboarding. She is a natural.

This month is incredibly important and dear to me as it will be the last month that we will spend in this home, in this neighborhood, in the ward, in Utah County. 

I am so sad.

As you guys know, Brian accepted a job at Overstock.com in April. He loves it. However, it is located in Cottonwood Heights, which is about an hour away from where we currently live. Sometimes with traffic it takes an hour and fifteen minutes...

and it's not even snowing yet.

After a lot of discussion, a lot of apartment hunting and a lot of tears (mostly from me) we found a place closer to Brian's work.

I know it is the right thing to do. Brian will be closer to work so he will have more time to spend with us and more time to sleep. I have lived in Utah County for six years. It's probably time for a change. Our new place is more than twice the size of this place. It has 3 bedrooms which allows Rylan to have  her own nursery (instead of sleeping in our room... awful! Her noises are sweet but not at 4 AM!) and Brian will have a little office and I will have a little craft room. We will have our own backyard and patio and the place has just been remodeled. And... they are letting us bring Kyoto! We are probably going to get fat since all of our favorite places to eat are up there!

It's just heartbreaking to me because we have made some really great friends here. I love my neighborhood. Everyone is so friendly and they really took us in when we moved here. I love working with my young women. I have recently gained a lot more responsibility in my calling which I love. Brian just got a calling after somehow dodging one for a year and five months... 

In our first apartment, before we moved to this one, we were in a neighborhood that was NOT very friendly. No one in our ward spoke to us and our bishop only spoke to us one time in the whole year and a half that we lived there. We felt like outcasts in our primary calling. In this neighborhood, we have felt so much more involved and accepted. I guess I'm just afraid that this new ward/neighborhood will be like the last one we were in. 

Ugh.. yesterday after coming home for Young Women, I became very emotional. It's a scary, daunting realization that I will have to start all over again. But, it will be good (I keep convincing myself). 

*sigh*

In other news... Rylan is cute. She is a also a creep.
