GUYS I'M SO SORRY! It's been FOREVER since this blog has been updated.
We'll do better. Which I believe we said we would do in a previous post, so you can see how well that ended up.
Anyway, a couple things for this post.
First, we took a trip a wee bit up the canyon last week (actually,
last last week) and took some pictures of the fall foliage. Unfortunately the leaves weren't entirely changed yet (or in most cases, at all), but we were still able to get some good shots.
Just...look at some of the pictures and smile at nature. Also, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so this should help me meet my quota for today's post.
It's pretty awesome to be able to live in an area with this kind of awesome just a short drive away. Sometimes it's nice just to go and be with nature and forget about the hustle and bustle of busy Provo life. Nature's everywhere. Sometimes it's in your back yard, and sometimes you have to drive a ways to find it. Wherever it is, it's a good reminder of God's love for us. I mean just look at that cool red leaf! That is one good lookin' leaf. God must have known it would be admired for its uniqueness, contrasting its red/orange/yellow with the gray rubble of the ground.
And then there's the double waterfalls, spilling water continuously from some unseen spring. I mean, only water can do that. I sure couldn't. Let's be honest, if I were to cascade down a rock face like that, I'd end up really really dead. But the water doesn't die. It runs on. I'm sure there's a gospel lesson in there if we look hard enough (as in really,
really hard).
Anyway, nature is awesome.
THING TWO.
Jill rode a motorcycle.
It's okay! Don't worry! She didn't die!
In fact, she even wore a helmet!
My pops was in town on Friday and after an hour or so of begging and pleading, he agreed to take her for a spin on his Harley. What a guy, right!?
Actually I'm going to turn this over to Jill now so she can describe the experience to you in all its glory.
Enter Jill.
What the new sensation!?! I learned how to ride a motorized scooter over the summer and so I was expecting it to be like that but man it was so much better. It was smooth. And scary! Call me a sissy but I leaned against the sissy bar the whole time. It was a very exciting ride around the block and I think it prepped me for the next time I ride who knows when. But thank you Papa K for the ride!

Exit Jill.
Enter Ben.
So there you have it, right out of the horse's mouth (no offense, dear).
But we've been having a good couple of weeks. Things have been busy but that's the way we like it.
Also, general conference was great this weekend. We were able to go up to the Saturday afternoon session and sit in for that. Always nice to get tickets to go (thanks Papa J!).
Anyway, that's all for now. I hope everyone else had a great conference weekend and may this week be the best one of your life!
Cheers.
