The next morning Steve and Dave went out fishing, while the rest of us slept in an hour or so more. I then made pancakes for us for breakfast, then we headed out to meet them on the water. They only caught one fish (right as we called), but after we got one we couldn't stop catching them. I drove the boat while Dave and Steve helped get the lines going. The weather was beautiful and the colors on the hills were changing and simply amazing! We all had a good time, even though we got a little more sun than we thought. Here are some pics from our adventures:
Steve and Joann enjoying the lake

Caught another one!
Work it honey!

As we were finishing up fishing, Dave went to pull the motor up and hurt his back. Luckily we had Steve and Joe to help get the boat and trailer back. He was in pain the rest of the night and next day. Since it hurt him to sit let alone drive, and Joann is not supposed to drive due to her foot in the boot, we decided to stay and help them down on Sunday. The next morning I made pancakes again, then we cleaned and packed up. Dave went to see a chiropractor on Monday and is doing somewhat better, but he's lucky he didn't do any more serious damage than he did.
After we got back down to the valley, Steve and I changed into our church clothes and headed over for a missionary meeting. The branch president went over some new goals w/ us an 2 other branch missionary couples. I think we're finally heading in the right direction.
We then came home and I made a white cake w/ cream cheese and cool whip on the top for dinner. We picked up Joann, then headed over to LuDeans for dinner w/ everyone. We had taco, then made a really cute Halloween craft. Steve's Aunt Diane was in charge; they turned out really cute. Steve and Dave actually cut out the wood earlier in the week, then we all painted them. Steve and I worked together to finish ours. Here it is.
Our cute Halloween craft
Well things are going well at work. I've only been out of training just over a week and a little bit, but so far so good. This new role allows us to do overtime basically whenever we want, so that's good when you want to get a few extra bucks. My manager is brand new to our role along w/ all but 3 other people, so we're all learning as we go. I feel like I've learned a lot already, but there's definitely still lots more to go.
Steve is working hard at school but still hasn't found a part time job yet. We're trying to decide exactly what we're going to do for his nursing degree and prerequisites. We're thinking of having him do them at SLCC since it's cheaper, but we'll see.
We also were able to go do some initiatories last week right after I got off work. Steve met me at the traxs station w/ a skirt and we headed to the Jordan River Temple. The Spirit was strong, and of course it was a great experience.
Well hope all is well.
Love ya lots,
Steve and Penny ;)
