Life Update

I thought I would write a small post and update everyone on what's going on in our lives. So far we are loving Omaha and the people here. Our ward is amazing and has been so great to us. Tyler is doing great in Law School. He studies like a horse but hopefully it will pay off. He has been putting in at least 60 hours a week of reading for school. It was hard at first to have him studying so much but we can now see the end of his first semester in sight! His first final is in 2 weeks!! YAY!!!! We can't wait to have this first semester under our belts! It has been fun to see how much he has learned. It is fun to watch his progress and see how much he likes studying the law.

My pregnancy is going great! I work at an elementary school in Omaha, and the kids are always reminding me that my stomach is getting really big!! They always looked shocked when I tell them the baby is not coming until January. ha ha. Gotta love kids!! I am 7 months pregnant now!!! It has gone so fast - I can't believe I only have two more months to go! I have had the best pregnancy. I haven't really gotten sick or been to uncomfortable. I keep expecting to wake up one day feeling awful but so far that hasn't happened!! I am hoping that this good luck will last a little longer! One of my favorite things about being pregnant is feeling the baby kick. He is starting to kick all the time!! I am so excited to meet this little guy!

Halloween

We had a really fun Halloween this year. We started off by going to a trunk-or-treat at our ward building and then went to our friends apartment for a fun party. We loved seeing all of the crazy costumes and hanging out with friends. I couldn't figure out how to flip the pictures on this so some of them are facing the wrong way. Oops!



This is our buddy Ray, Aka Santa Clause. His little boy dressed up like a reindeer. It was cute.



Our friend Ben definatley won the creepiest costume award. Doesn't he look like the guy from batman? His wife's costume was pretty sweet too.



At the Halloween Party.


We had a pumpkin carving contest.



This is our pumpkin for the contest. We had some BYU fans as judges so needless to say, we lost!!! But the pumpkin still looks beautiful and should have won!!




These guys win the best costume award!! They went all out!




Our next door neighboors, Anya and Blake.




Matt, Morgan and their cute little monkey Carter.




Some friends that Tyler met at law school, Jose and Luiz.



This was our Trunk at the trunk-or-treat.




Kids trick or treating.



Weston and his mom getting some candy. Aren't they cute?




Robinhood and a Ninja.




We went as Mary Poppins and a Chimney Sweep. Our friends went as Storm and the wolverine. I love her hair!



This is how serious trunk-or-treaters decorate their cars. The mouth on this trunk even moved up and down. We have a long way to go to get to their level!!

A cute couple in our ward. Love thier costumes!!
It was so fun to be with some great friends this Halloween. It really was such a fun day and really memorable. We hope you had as much fun as we did!
