It's already November?

It almost seems like I have teleported myself here. I cannot believe it's been almost a year since we had Titan. Time has flown by! Just last week we had our 2 year anniversary. Derek and I have known each other for 5 1/2 years already! And I am still loving every minute. This past weekend, we were able to go to an Eastern Arizona College Student Council Reunion. Councils from the last 25 years were invited, it was amazing! There was one guy there who was the President in 1987! Here's a little preview of the last couple of events we've had...

Colin and Derek were carving some pretty sweet pumpkins for Halloween...


But Lilly's was the best!



Derek and I had an amazing anniversary. I had to work a half day, but when I came home, he dropped Titan off with grandma and took me to get sushi at our favorite place. Then we had Little Caesar's by candlelight and finished the night with some Ben & Jerry's of course.


Last Thursday, we wrapped little Titan up and toted him to the big High School Homecoming football game: Coronado vs. Franklin. It was crazy!


I got to see my buddy and former roommate, Jenny, while we were at our EAC reunion! It was a blast- I'm so glad she went! She and I were President and Vice President for the year 2006-2007.


And this is her adorable little baby, Brightyn. Isn't she so cute? And well behaved, I might add!


Jenny snapped a picture of us in front of the famous clock tower.


We stopped by the house of some of our favorite people!!! The Wakefields. They have 6 girls (one was asleep while we took the picture) and they are all so awesome!


Brightyn was the star of the show at the football game. She does this hilarious face where she squints her eyes really tight when you ask her to make her squinter face. She had everybody cracking up. (This obviously isn't the squinter face, but she looks so cute here!)


The picture is a little blurry, but there is a girl in the front on the left with long hair and I am sitting right behind her!


Derek is such an awesome sport. He was a die-hard EAC fan with me.



When our trip was all over and we were headed out of town, we got a picture in front of the new (gorgeous) Gila Valley Temple.






We had the best time together. We always do. We have Mom, Dad and Sheridan to thank for watching Titan overnight while we had a little getaway. Titan loves those guys!

And I have Derek to thank for this wonderful life I live. Ever since I met him for the very first time, my life would never be the same. He is my best friend and...my everything, really. If I was stranded on an island for the rest of my life... as long as we had each other we would enjoy ourselves every single day until we died. And even after we died we'd have fun! : ) I'm so blessed to have such awesome friends and family. So if you're one of them (which you obviously are if you're reading this!), then thank you! Thank you for being so important to me.

Love,

Lauren
