Spooky Cobwebs and Crazy Children. This Is My Life.

Fall has fell, and we are already half way through October. Crazy! Where does the time go? We have been working hard around here making our house look good, etc. Amanda has decorated the house with all sorts of halloween things, to include fake spider webs. Funny that for one month out of the year spider webs are not only acceptable, but desired. And who ever decided that that was spooky? Gross yes, but spooky or scary? Maybe if the spider that built the web was too large to comfortably squish between your fingers in a strip of toilet paper.

We also have been painting the apartment room by room. Most the paint in the house was really old and looking pretty bad, so we are updating it. It looks much better! The girl that lived here before us came by yesterday to get some mail that came to our house and was very impressed with all the changes we'd made and Amanda's decorating skills. It almost looked like she wished she hadn't moved because now she knew how good it could look.

School is officially half way over for the semester. Its gone by quick. I only have 4 more semesters after this one, then I commission. The end is near, but the light at the end of the tunnel is still a little pin prick. But hey, its visible.

Last night I went to the Salt Lake ReAL game. That is Utah's Professional Soccer team. They are really good! They won the game last night, which was their last regular season game. With the win last night they set a new Major League Soccer record with 25 straight wins, and are now tied for 1st place in the nation heading into the play offs. Pretty neat. I went with my "Little" Joseph from Big Brother/Big Sisters. We had a good time.

Today I was called as the Assistant Scout Master. I am excited for the call cause I love camping, hiking, and doing outdoors stuff. However, Deacons quorum today was a little interesting. I haven't been to deacons quorum since I was a deacon, and seeing it from the leaders perspective is funny. I was laughing to myself almost the whole time, not because what the kids were saying was funny, but because they were just funny. It will be an interesting calling, but I'm excited.
