October Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello. How are you? This month was great. We took a jeep ride with some other members of our ward up tower mountain this month. It was fun to be at the top with our ward friends and to see the scenery up at the top. 

We did a lot of outdoor things this month with the weather cooling down and the leaves changing colors. My dad, Sam and I drove up Payson canyon to see the colors and it was nice. We got out at the top and had a nice walk as well which was fun. 

I went to Sadie Hawkins this month with my friend Ashlynn. It was a lot of fun. For our day date we went up Payson canyon and played games and had a fire up there. We also painted pumpkins on the day date as well. The day of the dance we took pictures in the rain which was very cold but certainly something I'll remember. We ate dinner at one of our group members houses and then went to the dance. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad that I got asked. 

Cam from France came to stay with us this month for two weeks. He had fall break so he came to visit which was awesome. While he was here we went to a Jazz game and we went to lagoon. I brought him to school with me for the two weeks because I wasn't on break. He got to meet a lot of new people at school and I got to meet some of his friends here as well. I'm glad that he came and I got to see my buddy again. 

Halloween was this month too. We went to the Woodland Hills trunk or treat at the stake center where we usually go for Halloween. Our costumes don't really have a theme anymore so we just dress up however we want. I wore a mask from one of my favorite shows, Bleach. Sam dressed up as an army guy and Kyle dressed up as Bob Ross. After the trunk or treat my friends came back to our house and we played Jackbox and some other games. 

The weather certainly is cooling down now. We have snow at our house which is a stark contrast from the warm and sunny weather we had just a few weeks ago. School is going good and I'm getting good grades. I guess my life is kind of the same everyday now. All I do now is go to school, work and the gym. It's nice to have structure though and a plan to go off each day. I hope you all have a great November and enjoy the snow. Bye.

Love, Eric James Barnhisel
