It's always nice when Heavenly Father confirms the answer to your prayers with a fortune cookie.

So as things have begun to settle down in other aspects of my life, I came to the realization that I was not happy at my job.  I thought for awhile that I was just stressed because of other things but I just kept feeling more and more that it was not a good fit for me.  It was hard because I really like the people there and I think its a good company to work for, but I was not happy in what I was doing, and really felt like I wouldn't be able to get out of this job the things I need in my career right now.  The feeling of wanting to quit came on pretty suddenly for me, it was something I didn't consider because I had not been there that long.  But I decided to start looking to see what other options I had and found a job listing that seemed to offer everything I felt was lacking in this job.  The next day I sent out a resume, the next day I had an interview scheduled and a week and a half later I had the job.  I know that no job will be perfect, but after a lot of prayers and fasting I feel that is the right step for me and I'm really excited about the change. (Especially after this weekend, don't ask).  And I'll have three day weekends every week, which I'm really excited about and hopefully that means more time for regular blogging! Here's some pics from lately (and not so lately since it's been awhile)

Our beautiful fall before the leaves all fell






Neighborhood trail


Early morning at the temple, too bad I didn't realize my recommend expired til I got there


Our trip to the pumpkin patch a few weekends ago.  We went to Roloff farms, the family on Little People, Big World (we don't watch it but it was fun!)


They had a baby lion, so incredibly cute!!
Did you know they use litter boxes without even training them to?

Feeding the wet and dirty lamas and sheep

Why don't they ever have adult pony rides?

I don't know if this chair was meant to make me look like a little person but it succeeded.

Picking out our pumpkins!











Random, but pretty funny.
