Willy Weekend

Corbin is trying to make casual dating a thing among his peers and decided he will lead by example. This weekend he and Avery P did temple baptisms and five guys and then met up with friends at the football game. He has HOCO this weekend and big plans for a fun fall themed group date are in the works if he can get some guys on board with asking dates. 

Quincy and Scotty G got caught in a downpour early Saturday morning. They were meeting up with Ethan A, Ryder P, and Gordo in downtown Salt Lake for Saturday Morning Session of General Conference. they had a good attitude but Q was soaked through every layer of clothing and therefore freezing inside the conference center. 

After getting home and dried off, she returned for evening session with a hallmate, Grace, who had an extra ticket.

Relief Society had a painting with a twist activity. I came in late and just parked next to Jen Toland in the back. I’ve never painted anything on canvas and we joked that we didn’t plan to keep our paintings, but it was fun to make them and visit. Everyone’s art turned out so different and fun. I took a batch of cinnamon rolls to share and a bunch of ladies texted the next day to order some last minute. Sam’s club has the free sample to boost sales model figured out! Carrie Morelock took a roll while passing through to say hi, got to her car, then came inside to find out where they came from. The next day she ordered some and picked them up early, then got home and called to see if we had extra and came back to buy more. Moral of the story here is to always buy extra dessert. I didn’t toss my little pumpkin art and instead popped it up on the mantle with the other fall stuff where it will serve to remind me of my cute and creative friend, Jen. I don’t think there is anything she can’t do and I aspire to have her unique level of creativity and thoughtful listening skills. Happy autumn. 

General conference was more thrilling for some Willies than others. 

Another cougar W! Quincy found Kristie at the game. I’m jealous of both of them for getting to see each other. 

Pumpkin everything please. This week is a yummy pumpkin overnight oats recipe from Kasey. 

Use 1/4 the spices recommended though—it’s too much. I also did not at collagen peptides bc I done even know what that is, and I skipped the maple syrup bc I’m out of the good stuff and my brain thinks cheap syrup is kid food and I don’t like it any more. The oats though? Delicious. 

Every day, Sloane and I listen to 1-2 chapters of Anne of Green Gables on audiobook while we wait for Soren to get out of school. We love this time together! Sloane 

This weekend also involved 40+ pans of cinnamon rolls, a cross country meet in Fayetteville, two soccer games, helping two seniors brainstorm and map out college essays, a funny little neighborhood prank war, a visit with Paul and HolleeAnn, a dinner date to Wrights with Aaron.
