The Beginning of Autumn

 In September, Marshall and I had some really fun dates. We are loving married life, even with all of the little adjustments that all newly-weds experience. We are both the happiest we have ever been and totally still in the "honeymoon" phase, but at the same time settling into our new roles as husband and wife. 

Marshall surprised me with an awesome date of taking me to the circus. Neither of us had been in a long time so it was really fun to see all of the new circus acts. It seems like Ringling Bros. is trying to be a little more like Cirque du Soleil, but they still have the traditional acts as well.

 The next day, we went to a local orchard to pick apples, then to the This is the Place memorial park. It was a great beginning to the fall season. We also made the tastiest apple pie ever with the apples we picked.

In this small one room cabin, a man lived with his wife and 7 kids, then he married a second wife and had more children with her. The 2nd wife lived in a lean-to in the backyard with her daughters, and all of the sons had to climb a ladder on the outside of the cabin to get to the loft where they slept. I am so grateful for everything the early saints went through, but feel so blessed that I live today and not back then.

 The last day of September, we flew to California, then went to Disneyland on October 1st to see all of the Halloween decorations. It was so much fun!

The lines were super long to get in the park, but we still had fun waiting and seeing the decorations on the front gates. We decided they need to make a line for guests with no children and strollers. haha!

 It was great weather, but really hot and humid, so Marshall decided to play in the water, in the Bugs Life area of California Adventure, with all of the kids. It really helped cool him off though.

 What a great month!!
