Falling into Fall

The Alpine Loop

One of the things we do love about Utah is that you really get to experience all four seasons. We took advantage of the government shutting down and got free admission to the Alpine Loop. It runs all the way from Sundance to American Fork Canyon and it's beautiful this time of year. We had to stop and take some pictures of course (they might have been better if it wasn't snowing on us though!).

Canadian Thanksgiving
The second Monday in October is Canadian Thanksgiving so this year we decided to go to out to eat to celebrate. We met up with Brett's grade school friend Trisha and her husband. I was really craving some stuffing but since we couldn't think of a restaurant that serves a Thanksgiving dinner we decided to go to Station 22 for the first time instead. The deciding factor was that Station 22 has a poutine. For my American friends, below is a picture of a poutine. It's basically french fries covered in gravy and cheese curds (awful for you but incredibly yummy)

Baby Check Up

My Doctor said there was a chance we would be able to know the gender at this appointment so I was really hoping that we would find out... but it was a huge let down and we couldn't tell. The baby's legs were crossed at the knees and facing the placenta. I guess we might be having a modest child. I was starting to get a little nervous because I've only gained 1 pound so far during the pregnancy and I think about 4-5 pounds is what's normal but it turns out I'm one week less far along that I had been thinking (bummer-it feels like I've been pregnant forever). I guess I'm only 16 weeks not 17 weeks. 

Medical Schools

We still haven't heard a thing from A&M or UNT which is mostly driving Brett crazy. On October 15th he was pretty much having a panic attack every time I texted him because he thought I might be a medical school. So we continue to wait. This weekend Brett is flying to San Antonio for another interview; the process continues. Calgary & Edmonton's application deadline are finally coming up so they should start looking at his application soon too.  

BYU vs. Georgia Tech

This is probably the last time we can take a picture at a home football game when we aren't freezing. Good weather, good game, and free shirts :)
