Florida & Cedar City

Dan and I had the opportunity to go to Florida with my family for a week! It was such a fun vacation! We went to the Kennedy Space Center, Disney World (Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios), Universal Studios, and the Pirate Dinner Adventure show. We left Saturday October 25th and came home Saturday November 1st. Because we were going to be missing Halloween... we decided to do something at Universal Studios called the stay and scream. They had advertised that it was the country's premier Halloween event and I didn't know if I believed them... but after going - I do! After the park closed at 5:00pm they spent an hour and a half getting everything ready, and at 6:30 it opened and stayed open until midnight. Their theme this year was all the urban legends come true... and Bloody Mary was the main one. They had several haunted houses all throughout the theme park and we could not get to all of them, but on of the scariest ones was the fairy tales gone bad. All throughout the haunted house they had different fairy tales but haunted. It was very good.... in a very scary way! I was so glad we ended up doing it! It was a very long day but well worth it! I couldn't believe how many people were there! It truly was a "PREMIER" event and one I will never forget!

This week has been a very exciting week for sure. Not only was it crazy at work because I had been gone a week - but Tuesday was a historic day with the election and my sisters birthday (HAPPY SWEET 16 WHITNEY!!!) but Thursday was the U of U game against TCU! Dan and I have season tickets and so we have had the opportunity to go to every home game! We love it! And this game was amazing! Not only was the entire stadium in black for the BLACKOUT - but we won 13-10 so the U is still undefeated!!! THAT'S RIGHT!!! 10-0!!! It was pretty cold that night, but it ended up being such a great game that it didn't matter! Then on Friday after work, Dan and I drove to Cedar City to watch our cousin Steve in the play The Elephant Man. He had a major role and did an AMAZING job! We were lucky enough to go down when some of our other family was there as well so we got to spend the weekend with them! It was so much fun! We love spending time with our families!!!!

This time of year is so much fun with the Holidays coming up! And with Thanksgiving a few weeks away - I have been reflecting on my blessings and it is so neat to see how truly blessed I am! I love this time of year and the feeling it brings! Until next time....
