Autumn Magic

October is here and we couldn't be more happy about it. Whenever we go on walks or drives we're in stunned silence almost the whole time. It's so gorgeous!! The trees, which are very abundant here, have all turned into fall beauties overnight, it seems. We are settling in with our ward out here and we're loving the camaraderie that exists already.  Cory was called to be a Webelo Scout leader and Scout Committee Chair.  Of course, he's made lifelong friends with all the boys already.  And I've been called to be the CTR 7 teacher. I have 5 kids and they are a handful already :) Cory just started his new job as a research assistant and is, so far, absolutely loving it. He's an amazing student and took his first mid-term yesterday-which I'm almost positive that he aced it.  I'm super proud of him and brag to everyone about him, so I'm sorry if it starts to get a little out of hand... :) I got a job!!!! I will start next Monday as an administrative assistant for a spinal rehab clinic affiliated with the University Hospital.  It is such a blessing to have and we definitely acknowledge Heavenly Father's helpful hand in that.  We are still slowly making our house a home, it's a little hard with no couches or dining table, but the other rooms are coming together.  You'll have to wait until we get those items to see the rest of the house ...

Cory's office. The one thing we have bought out here so far: his desk off of Craigslist for dirt cheap.  He's obviously studying for his solitaire test...

Sky writing for gameday. It says "HAIL" "133" (for the team number) and "M".

We are loving finding cute little towns around us and their apple orchards!

Before... 

...After! See? This literally happened overnight it seems!

We love you all!
