Ever since I moved to Provo almost four years ago I have been wanting to go to Cornbelly's up at Thanksgiving Point. I bugged Matt about it all last year so this year he promised me that we could go (I guess sometimes persistence pays off haha). He's a trooper and we had a great time. I think our favorite thing was the kettle corn we bought. Mm! Just thinking about it makes me want to go back and get some. Maybe I'll attempt to make some sometime.
Us with the corn dude.
Our hayride (ride?). We were surrounded my little kiddos and the guy that
took our picture failed to get any of the hay so it doesn't exactly look
like we're actually on a hayride, but I loved it.
When Matt and I were going through the Obama & Romney corn maze
he told me to go one way so that he could meet me where the paths
met up again, but the next thing I knew he was creeping through
the corn stalks trying to pop out at me. He eventually was running towards
me... it was stinkin hilarious. Life is so much more fun with Matt.
A lot of people don't like Halloween, but there's something about dressing up in dorky costumes that I just love. Matt is a little bit of a Halloween Scrooge, but he loves me and he puts up with the nerdy costumes I pick out for him. I've realized that I can't ask him what he WANTS to dress up as because he won't ever say anything (other than maybe a ghost... he always brings that one up haha). Last year Matt and I dress up as Woody and Jessie from Toy Story...
And this year we dress up as....
Where's Waldo and Wenda
We had a fun time at our first ward trunk-or-treat party together. I'm sure there will be many more to come but it was fun to go together as matchees :) and meet new people. We handed out a bunch of candy to some kiddos, ate way too much white chili, and watched out bishop dance gangnam style which was quite memorable.
After all the fun in Provo we headed up to Matt's sister Steph's house and stayed with her cute family and went to "Boo at the Zoo" in Salt Lake. It had been a long time since I had been to a zoo and I loved it... especially the baby giraffe! I asked Matt if he would buy me one, but I think you can probably guess what the answer was to that question haha.
Eliza in her cute owl costume. She was strapped a little tight in
her stroller so she looks a little awkward but she sure is a cutie.

The adorable giraffe babe
We love her. Matt always talks about how he misses Eliza.
:)
I also might have put Matt's costume on Eliza :)
Matt and I also celebrated our six month anniversary last Saturday (October 27th)! Part of me feels like it's crazy that we've already been married for six months, but the other part of me feels like we've been married for a lot longer than that because it's hard for me to imagine life without Matt. I know this sounds super cheesy, but the last six months really have been the best months of my life. Matt is so good to me and I am soo happy. ANYWAY, Matt and I went to our favorite Chinese restaurant, Shoots, to celebrate. It was up at the Riverwoods in Provo and they were having some big celebration so it was fun to walk around with all the lights, fires, and little stands. We had a great time and I even got my free mini candle from Bath & Body Works that I claimed on Facebook haha.
On the way home we stopped by Target to buy something fun and irresponsible with some of our gift card money, but all we left with was some pomade for Matt's hair and some sweet fuzzy socks for me. I do love my socks, but it was a pretty lame "irresponsible purchase" on our part... we'll have to work on that for next time :).

Happy six month anniversary to us!
