I was cleaning out my documents on our laptop today and I came across the Portuguese Chad “taught” me. I could seriously listen to him speak in Portuguese for hours and not get bored

Eu quero compartilhar tudo contigo. Quero que tu sejas feliz e eu quero ser feliz por causa de ti. I want to share everything I have with you. I want you to be happy and I want to be happy because of you.

Eu me entrego a vida a ti. I deliver my life to you.

Sei que em teu seguro fica o meu lar. I know that in your hold is my home.

Quero unir as nossas vidas. I want to unite our lives.

I love that guy!

Chad and I had a difficult time deciding how we were going to economically look fantastic for Halloween this year. We made it work and our home made costumes are the best yet. There was a little family party on Saturday through the church. Chad was a Leprechaun (I do not know how he was mistaken for Brigham Young) and I was a doll though I was mistaken for a Who from the Dr. Seuss stories. So maybe our costumes weren’t so obvious–but we’re still proud!

• Lucky and WHO?

After seeing the incredible skills my mom whipped out for her ward’s Halloween party I may just want to try running a cake walk myself next time! I envy her!

• Mom’s WICKED cool cakes

This week I have gotten a ton done. I have gotten a lot of school work finished. I even took another test earlier this week.  Now that the temperatures have dropped, I have also discovered the endorphin treatments of watching my favorite shows while pumping some blood on the elliptical machine.

Chad and I got to meet Mike and Christina Christian’s new baby, Joseph, this week. It was so fun to see the little guy especially since we have followed their pregnancy since we both moved here in January.  We are very excited for them. Chad is such a great guy, he made them a dinner they can heat up. I must be too used to Primary since he is taking over the Relief Society duties.

This week has been a stressful one with the Primary program being on Sunday. I have felt overwhelmed. I managed to take on too much as well as things I did not feel comfortable with. On one of my “I am freaking out nights” this week Chad and I got distracted by putting together our Halloween costumes. We weren’t quite finished when we were ready to call arts and crafts time quits. I got all anxious with all the messes that needed picking up but tried to go to bed anyway.  Chad got up and I thought he went to pick up some more– which I was feeling guilty for. But he came back with a CD and our laptop. He had gone and searched for one of my favorite songs that is just one of the most relaxing things in the world for me to hear. I do not think anyone else in the world would have know that that would help me relax. It was so nice to see how he knows how to take better care of me than I know how to do for myself. It is good that we can take care of each other. That was a moment I won’t forget.
