Law School Monday: SIX

We just hit the 6 week mark! Meaning we moved here 6 Sundays ago, even though we have only been to our ward 2 times: one Sunday moving here, one spent in Idaho, one for Stake conference, and one for the Temple dedication. I got my calling on week 2 of being here and haven't been to church since haha. And next Sunday we will be in Idaho again for Charlsee's wedding. Then the next Sunday is Conference, and then the NEXT Sunday we will be in Yellowstone. I am just now realizing that we won't go to our ward until mid-October…Sheesh, maybe we will have to cut either our Idaho trip, or our Yellowstone trip short. I am the Laurel advisor of only ONE laurel, so hopefully it will all work out that she can go with another class?
in honor of 6 weeks here, here are some top 6 lists for remembering.

SIX activities we have loved so far:
1- hiking the Y
2- swimming at the Rec center here and also in Daybreak-both for freeeee
3- Sunday drives exploring Provo and surrounding areas. noting how we could def live here forever
4- living right by the Provo river trail and taking some BEAUTIFUL runs together.
5- just yesterday we woke up early and went and chased down some hot air balloons and got to see them take off right by our house.
6- seeing a few Provo celebrities (Mindy Gledhill, and Taza-one of the most famous mormon bloggers) Still looking our for NieNie though...
these pics taken from our front balcony

a little photo tour of our running path
there we are in that tiny little mirror
showing how this trail makes it possible to go to all our stores without having to cross any roads!
there are a lot of snails here, and this is the biggest one we have found! This is in one of the tunnels on our run
the kids favorite tunnel. They love to make loud sounds when we go through all of these
this is a little waterfall RIGHT by our house. And you can see DI in the back. And also, Stori took this pic.
this is another waterfall along our run! See, beautiful! 
the Provo River Trail takes you up all the way through the canyon. The leaves are slowly changing and I am so excited  to watch them change more each day on our runs.

SIX places we shop in this here town
1- D.I. (daily entertainment)
2- Dollar Store-found us a play Dr. kit that has made our days much healthier
3- Macy's grocery store; has car-carts that ensure happy shopping for hours. And 32c ice cream!
4- Target-for obvious reasons. But mainly just for the fun halloween dollar section
5- Walmart- sadly we have to go here about once a week. This is by far the worst Walmart we have been too.
6- And our favorite; at our "pretend grocery store." Stori goes and get's food, then brings it home for our tea party's. Then she take Sylvie to the "pretend farm" to pet animals.
Tea party hats




Even though Sylvie is the size of Stori, Stori still insists on holding her and feeding her. They are both so darn cute I can't stand it.
For date night last week, we got into the Autumn groove. We LOVE "You've Got Mail" and we decided to add these mugs to our fall decorations while watching football. :)
SIX things we miss about Idaho
1- how few people there are, and the amount of lanes on the road
2- open farmland for miles and miles
3- really close to family!!! and Yellowstone/Jackson
4- the wind-PSYCH
5- Dan misses being close he was to shooting.
6- knowing how to get places without using a GPS. Oh---and the taste of the water!
Cousins are the BEST
