Keeping the Romance Alive

So Brandon and I haven't been on a date for awhile and we decided to take turns planning one every month. Last Friday was my turn. We had sweet Lauren and Clayton watch Kayli while we went to El Matador to eat and then to iRock to do some rock climbing. It was a lot of fun being together and doing something we don't normally do. So here's an idea for any of you who are looking for something not too expensive and fun to do. Anyway, this was our date night for this month!

Update on our life!

BRANDON:

• Brandon is still working for Brigham City Nursing and Rehab as the Executive Director over there. The company is selling the building to another company in the next month though, so we'll see what happens.
• He has a church calling as Gospel Doctrine Teacher, which he loves indefinitely.
• He just started playing basketball with some other men in the ward once a week. He has missed playing basketball. He used to be able to play every morning in Hooper when we lived in Farr West.
• He eventually wants to go back to school (when I let him) to get his Master's or he's thinking of maybe 4 more years to be a speech therapist.

KAYLI:

• As I've updated on her blog, she is growing very quickly. She will be 1 year old on the 29th of this month. She gets into everything and always wants to be entertained.
• She gets baby sat at my friend's house 1/2 the time while I'm away at school. She does pretty well with that...sometimes she cries but usually not. She is such a good little girl.

TASHA:

• I'm still straggling through the first semester of the nursing program. It's definitely been rough, but I have learned a ton. It's been slowing down alot these last few weeks. I get a whole week off for Thanksgiving and 3 weeks off for Christmas. I'm so ready for that relaxing and time for reviving.
• My calling in church is Women's sports coach. I was so excited at first, but that's pretty much gone since everyone in the ward is pretty much not sporty. I can't usually get anyone out to play. :(
• I still am not working, which I'm so greatful for Brandon because I don't think I'd be able to do it all if I had to work. I plan to work a couple nights a week in the hospital once I finish school in May.
• I am playing indoor soccer once a week with a friend of mine. I love playing soccer, it's so nice to do something different and take life's stress out on the ball.

Our family is doing good and we are taking life 'one step at a time'.

Happy Halloween!

Me, Brandon, and Kayli

Here's cute little Kayli

Just silly old Brandon


What a choice for costumes right?! We wanted to dress up as a family so clowns describe us perfectly. :D
