I Love You. . .

Finally it's Friday!

So I rented a car (2012 Mazda 6) It was super fun to drive a really new car!

I met Kyle in Globe and we grabbed all of his stuff and loaded it up in the rental.

Then to Show Low we went!

We made a stop at Dairy Queen before we left and got a shrimp basket, 

a cherry dipped cone, and a pumpkin pie blizzard.

When we got up there we just hung out for a little bit and we had burrito's for dinner.

We went to Walmart and then to the high school football game. 

It was so funny when we first got to the game because everyone in the crowd was all bundled up and had blankets and it was like culture shock for me!

 Haha it looked so funny! I have never see people so bundled up before!

 HOWEVER, after a few minutes outside I understood why everyone was dresses so warmly. 

It was really fun to meet some new people and we said hi to Jeremiah and Kyle's Dad and I was welcomed with a big hug! I love his family! :)

After the game we went back to his house and he worked on calculus while his mom and I watched say yes to the dress. And then we watched Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives. I fell asleep and then Kyle came and sat by me and after the shows were over we got ready for bed.

Saturday

We had delicious cinnamon rolls with dried cherries for breakfast along with some homemade apple juice. 

{I love apple juice and this apple juice is beyond words!}

After breakfast we all started to get some work done! Kyle and I got to rake up the leaves!

We had so much fun! I never knew you could really jump into a pile of leaves! 

After we were all done we went up the mountain to Lake Hawley and had dinner, Chill, crackers, and apples. And as always it was so good! It was a beautiful afternoon as well! Then I drove back down the mountain and we had lots of good conversation. When we got back Kyle started on his home work right away so he could finish before we went out to Joesph City. I got ready and then as soon as he was done we stopped by DQ {Kyle had to get his Pumpkin Pie Blizzard} and drove out to Holbrook to the bowling alley. We met up with DeAnna and Zachary! This bowling alley was old school! They had old projectors for each lane and clear score sheets that you wrote your own score on. It was really fun but tricky to remember to score since we are all so use to having our games scored for us. After our game ended we all drove out to Joesph City and we went out and had a fire with DeAnna, Zachary, Ashley, Blu, AJ, and AJ's wife. Zachary had a ton of old bottle rockets and we had fun shootin;g those off. It was just a fun evening. We left around 12:30am and were tired when we got back. 

Sunday

I slept in till 10, I was out! Then we had crepes for breakfast.

{Kyle and I picked and cut up some apples for the fried apple part :)} We had creme, fried apple, and peach to go inside and whip creme and powdered sugar for on top. So yummie of course!

Next on the agenda was church and it was really good. It was fun to get to know more people and the lesson in relief society was awesome! After church Kyle took me out to learn how to drive stick. I rocked it! haha it was about half and half somethings Kyle said were really impressive and then there were a few rough patches. It was so fun even though it was only 30 minutes and super quick. We had broccoli cauliflower chicken casserole, homemade bread, and salad with home grown veggies. So so great! Can't get enough of how wonderful his family is. They sent me home with lots of home grown foods and homemade apple juice, apple butter, and blueberry peach jam. Which my family and I are enjoying immensely! Before we left we chatted for a while and we had a prayer and Kyle got a blessing and I almost cried, I had to really hold it back. We said goodbye and gave hugs and unfortunately we had to leave.

{Did I mention how much I enjoy spending time with his family?}

We drove back and Kyle got a headache and car sick which is very unusual for him. :(

When we got to Globe it was sad because we didn't want to go. He was giving me a hug and then he kissed me and said. . . 

 "I LOVE YOU" 

and I said it back and he kissed me again and hugged me SO tight!

Such a wonderful end to fabulous weekend!
