Oh Christmas Tree

Kline has been SO excited about getting our very own fresh-cut Christmas tree. I think he was mostly just excited to cut it down, but I was also excited because I love the smell of fresh trees. So we decided to buy a permit to cut one down in Ephraim Canyon.

Looking back, I think that we thought we cut a fairly big tree. However, after looking at these pictures, our tree looks so funny on Kline's car roof. It looks pretty small, but that is honestly the only size of tree that would have fit in our little apartment. Haha! We took our friends Zane and Piper with us, so it was a pretty fun day to search for a little tree for our little home.

1st Annual Tate Family Halloween Bash

Ever since I was a little girl, I always had a dream of hosting my very own Halloween party. Once I got married, I realized that this could finally become a reality. Thus, the Annual Tate Family Halloween Bash was born! Since our apartment is super small and this was our first year to "test the waters", we kept the party pretty small, but we still were so pleased with the outcome!

We invited a bunch of our closest friends and, luckily, my friend Sam Ryan was in town and so she and Nick were able to come too! We spent the night eating Halloween-themed treats, having a pumpkin carving contest and watching a scary movie. We loved seeing all of our friends fun costumes. This year, Kline and I dressed up as Bob Ross and a Happy Tree. We can't wait to continue this tradition for years to come.

If You Were a Pumpkin, I'd Pick You

Kline and I spent one of our Saturdays visiting our local pumpkin patch. I LOVE pumpkin patches and so I was absolutely ecstatic to go. Kline definitely took a little convincing, but I think he ended up liking it at the end. We enjoyed the pools filled with corn, picking our very own pumpkins, taking cute pictures and watching the beautiful sunset.

Pizza is Rad

I first saw the Aquabats at a concert on Center St. in Provo the first month Kline and I were dating. We brought my brother Hunter with us, since he was in town then, and we just had an absolute blast. It is one of my favorite memories from when we were dating.

So, Kline found out that the Aquabats were coming to Salt Lake and decided that it would be a fun idea to surprise me with tickets for our "second month married anniversary". Except for I actually ruined the surprise because I found the tickets by accident one day. Whoops. Either way, it was a super fun concert and we ended up bringing our friends Briton and Aspen with us too.

{Fall}ing in Love

In case you didn't know, Fall is my most favorite season! I LOVE the changing leaves, the crisp air, sweaters, pumpkin-flavored everything, hayrides, scary movies, Halloween. I could go on forever! Another one of my very favorite things is October General Conference. There is really nothing better than curling up in a blanket with my journal and hot chocolate to hear the talks of the great individuals of our church. This year, we snuggle in our new apartment and watched these faithful people speak. After the Saturday Morning session ended, Kline suggested that we go for a scenic drive and I was SO glad that he did. We spent the rest of the morning driving through Provo Canyon past the most beautiful color-changing trees I've ever seen. We ended up missing the afternoon session of Conference because we lost track of time while enjoying the scenery and taking many pictures. This weekend just proved to me even more that I am in love with Fall. And my cute husband.

LDS Womens Broadcast

My Mother-in-Law invited me to attend the LDS Womens Broadcast in Salt Lake City for the October 2017 General Conference. I was so excited to go with her and my sister-in-law! It was super cold and rainy, but luckily we were prepared with umbrellas. We had a total blast -- the talks were amazing, we had yummy Kneaders for dinner and just loved spending the time talking with each other.

Halloween Decorating

Halloween is my all-time favorite holiday so it was no surprise to my husband that I was beyond excited to decorate our apartment for the holiday.

I literally started decorating way back in September because I was SO excited to decorate. I seriously have dreamed of the day when I would be a wife and decorate my own house for Halloween.
