My last post was about how shocking it was that october had come so quickly. And now here I am with only one more week until november! we are starting to make our holiday plans and a whole new type of stresses comes along. Which family when and where back and forth back and forth! Part of being grown ups and married I guess. It's fun having so many people wanting you around for the festivities! Just like my mom says, now we have two families to love us!
This past weekend we got to spend time with our best friends and the entire Anderson family. Friday we were total little kids at lagoon with Craig and Lindsey. It was my first experience with Frightmares and I was plenty entertaining for Trevor. We decided haunted houses aren't worth the money if I hide behind his back the whole time and scream. That night we watched a scary movie and I felt like we were teenagers again! We were cuddled as close as can be and all four of us had our eyes covered. So much fun! We finally called it a night around 2 am because our deep conversations weren't making sense anymore.
Me and the anderson ladies spent the entire day Saturday in the kitchen, preparing for Marissa's farewell on Sunday. She leaves for Seattle tomorrow and it's going to be a huge adjustment for everyone! This is one of the times it's awful being so far away. We had to say our goodbyes on Sunday. It's such a bittersweet feeling. She's going to do amazing!
Life doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon, I'm ok with that.

October Already?
I can't believe that this semester only has 2 1/2 months left. It feels like Trevor and I just barely moved back up to Logan. I have such mixed feelings about graduating this spring. Some days it seems like It can't come soon enough, and other days I hope it never comes! I had a weird realization today when I figured out that I will miss being a student. After 15 years of practice, I must say I've gotten quite good at it! I don't know what i will do out in the real world when I don't have tests every four weeks, and grades to look forward to remind me that I'm getting mostly A's in life! At the same time It will feel so great to have my degree, and know I stuck it through. I love our life as students. Me and Trevor have a pretty great routine going to the library, helping each other study, lunch breaks together, and dropping each other off at classes. I Love it! Enough for both of us to stay in school forever? Probably not. Oh well, back to studying. Only 7 months to graduation!

What I've been up to lately
Also, I've caught onto this little treat lately that is amazing and everyone wants the recipe for! here it is!
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tbsp softened butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar (maybe more)
3/4 cup brown sugar (maybe more)
Pretzels
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Combine peanut butter and softened butter in a large bowl with a fork or whisk, or in a stand mixer. Add the sugars and mix to combine. At this point if the filling will roll easily into balls without sticking to your hands you’re ready to go. If not, add a little more of each sugar until you reach a consistency that is easy to roll (I used about 3/4 cup of each sugar).
Use a teaspoon measure to scoop the filling. Roll each portion into a small ball, then sandwich them between two whole pretzels. When all the balls are rolled and successfully sandwiched, stick the whole tray in the freezer for about half an hour.
Pour the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and heat at 30-second intervals, stirring occasionally until completely melted. Remove the pretzel sandwiches from the freezer and quickly dip each half-way into the melted chocolate. Return to the tray and repeat with remaining sandwiches. When all are dipped, return the tray to the freezer to set up completely. Store the sandwiches in the refrigerator until serving time.
