Favorite Things Thursday!
1) Halloween!! I LOVE Halloween. It is seriously one of my favorite holidays. Tonight boyfriend and I are going to carve up some pumpkins. I get all into this craft. Bad like. It will be completely perfect, no stray strings here! He, on the other hand, has not carved a pumpkin since he was a little kid so I'm excited to rub off some of my Halloween spirit on him!
2) With Halloween weekend comes the BIGGEST SEC game of the year for me..... UGA vs UF. I will tirelessly be rooting on my Dawgs all the way out here. Screaming at my tv and all. We have not had a very good season this year, and we notoriously never win against UF, but each year I enter this game with the same optimisim and excitement. We could just possibly win!!
3) It has officially started to snow here. I am STOKED for this winter. More so than any other because I get to share it with my sweet southern boyfriend who has never experienced a Utah winter. And, it gives me an excuse to wear a hoodie every single day. Who doesn't love a hoodie??
Hope everyone has a fantastic Halloween weekend!! I look forward to reading about everyone's trick or treating or partying or whatever!

I Heart Fall
First up, the Hot Corn Dip. I have NEVER cooked with an actual onion, much less the peppers they want you to use in this recipe. I am a fraidy cat. But I sucked it up thanks to encouragement from boyfriend and I did!! I cut up my first onion and peppers and followed the recipe exactly.
It came out absolutely fabulous!!! We both loved it! I could not believe I actually ate something and enjoyed it knowing there was peppers and onions in it. I HIGHLY recommend this recipe and will definitely be using it more often.
If you love to cook and bake like I do, then I definitely recommend popping on over to Our Best Bites to check out what they have to offer. They are always introducing new recipes as well. I already have my eye out for my next adventure in the kitchen with them!
Other than my kitchen experiments, our weekend was relatively boring. I agreed to a Halloween movie marathon and have now seen almost all of the lovely Michael Meyers movies. Go figure that we watch 4 of them only to find out there are 3 more we missed. Yay. Hopefully, he won't make me watch anymore of them after I scared him with my screaming and freaking out Lol.
Just to end, here is my awesome helper in the kitchen who not only enjoyed the yumminess with me, but also did the dishes!
Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Huge Changes Going On
First, I came home to see that my Chrysler store is almost completely up and running!! I'm very excited about this. The front facia of our store is getting painted next week and our arches should be up. After that we can officially start to receive our cars in. This will obviously be very good for my bank account as winter is upon us here which equals truck season!!
Second, as of this past Thursday boyfriend is now a Utah resident!! After 8 days apart he got to talk to the proper people and was told it was ok to come out here and live with me!! On the 9th day he was here! I still can't believe it. Having him here to actually FINALLY get to be a normal couple is amazing. We've already made trips to walmart, cooked dinner, and gotten to just enjoy coffee and tv on the couch. Today we're going to my friend's son's birthday party. I'm also going to take him up the beautiful mountains here to see what this great state is all about!
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and I'll catch up with you all next week!!

Seven Days
Monday night was obviously the hardest. Saying goodbye was emotional for both of us. We both cried and held each other for hours. Boyfriend spent a few years in the Navy and Monday night he gave me his dogtags and asked me to take very good care of them. I have worn them every day since I left him and I plan on wearing them every day until he and I can be together again.
Even through our tears we still take cute pictures!!Ironically, while I was shopping with my mom on my last day in town I heard a Kenny Chesney song off his new album called Seven Days and it fits perfectly for my trip. If you haven't heard it, check it out on YouTube.
All in all, the whole trip was so much better than either of us expected. I am more in love with him than I could've ever imagined being. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
We have a big day coming on Wednesday and without going into details, if everyone could please send up some prayers for us they are greatly appreciated!! Hope everyone has a great week!

At Last
And things could not be better.
Just a couple quick pictures to keep everyone posted. I'll blog about the entire event once I return home to Utah.
