Hello October!

I know I've said this before but I really hate thinking of blog titles. Anyway, I found my journal hallelujah! We sold our bed frame and before we did I checked the side tables and there it was! Thank the heavens! 

We are loving North Dakota! We miss Utah of course especially when we are there but North Dakota has really found a place in our hearts. We live in the 2nd largest city in the state and Bismarck is still super small! I do miss the mountains a lot but ND has its own amazing beauty. I got really worried the the other weekend when it snowed but the snow melted and now the fall colors are absolutely gorgeous! We took a walk to the park today and it literally took my breath away. The park is just down the street and Duke loves to go play there. I've been taking lots of "nature" pictures lately. If you haven't already seen them on Facebook here are a few. I've also included pictures of some other randomness :P

The halloween wreath I put together. I used a foam wreath an old t-shirt and a halloween stocking.

This is our street. Look at those colors! Amazing!

I took this picture while I was driving but I couldn't resist! I was listening to country music at the same time and I felt like a country girl for sure!  

Love everything in this picture amazing! 

Ben and I before the Florida Georgia Line Concert last weekend! We had a blast!

We made S'more hot chocolate the weekend it snowed. It was so delicious and easy to make! 

Ben's job is starting to slow down for the season so we are trying to figure out a plan. Our lease on our apartment is up the end of November. There are plenty of jobs up here though so Ben is looking into some options.We have looked into buying a house but nothing very serious as of yet. I'll just quickly get this part over with... I made a HUGE mistake. I took on 3 jobs got really burned out so now I'm only working 2. I feel really good about my decision. I work at Gold's Gym in the Kids Club (free membership) and I'm a CNA with Dakota Travel Nurse. It's really good money and I really enjoy being a CNA! Now there is Duke. We are worried he has worms again (not fun!) so we are giving him meds to help. He also had a little tiff with the dog upstairs this morning but I think he's OK. He's just been through so much and we are making so much progress with him it just kind of made us really upset but we are good now. Well thats it for now. Just being crazy, random, and loving life as usual!
