September 2023 Part 7: All the Other Stuff

September flew on by with all the things we had going on. Here's the rest of the stuff we did. 

Gracie enjoyed surveying her domain and soaking up the sun. 
I took two classes at UVU, an intro to AutoCad and an architecture studio class. Here's my first architecture project. 
Taryn sent us a crock-pot meal planning book that has a shopping list and recipes planned out weekly for 12 weeks. It was an answer to a prayer with how busy things got with school. I blindly followed what the person told me to buy and make. We liked most of them. Here's a chicken parm one. 
Brian played Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza with Gabe. 
We switched church times in September, so we had 9 am church, which meant we had more time for things like baking after church. We really enjoyed it for the 3 weeks we had it. 


We enjoyed the fall weather and hugs were given, whether the recipient wanted them or not. 
Gracie continued to be our family celebrity. 



Brian and I made it to the temple. 
We saw a few beautiful sunrises, thanks to the days getting shorter. 

We all read a lot, except for maybe Michael who hasn't been into reading much the last year or two. 

I felt a cold coming on, so Airborne became my drink of choice for a few days. 


Our neighbor brought us this amazing bread. It was so good! 

My macintosh tree produced its first apples! They were so good!
Michael and I enjoyed a slice of Brian's birthday cake after school one day when Brian was at work, and we sent this picture to him to rub it in. 
Brian and I continued having date nights most, of not all, Fridays. Our kids are super supportive of this special, weekly ritual and are constantly trying to get us out the door. If I didn't know better (thank you, home security cameras), I would think they were throwing raves at our house while we were gone. 


Then we turned around, and September was over.
