Here is my beautiful and perfect niece, Averie on her blessing day. It was wonderful to be with so much family and watch my brother perform this beautiful father's blessing. I think that she is going to spread the gospel on a mission...I can only hope, right? Oh, and check out the CUTE bracelet she is wearing...awe, precious! I love jewelry on little girls! Again, thanks Landon and Haley for providing free entertainment for our family! We love you guys!
It may not be the journey that I dreamed of or imagined but it is no less of a journey and one that I have been blessed with and I LOVE it!

Say what?
"Your total comes to five-hundred and eighty dollars please." Yeah, not kidding! My eyes I'm pretty sure were bulging out of my head because the next thing the bookstore clerk said, "yeah, that's a lot!" HELLO!!! As if I hadn't noticed thank you very much!!! I am pretty sure that I am handing over the money as the cash almost shakes out of my hand! Ridiculous! So I am back in Rexburg loving the fall weather, and having a social life again; but for real, five-hundred and eighty dollars for text books...that is way too extreme for me! I basically threw up in my mouth (along with my eyes bulging out of my head) because that is just a disgusting amount of money to pay for books! Honestly, if you know me at all I am not a huge reader...so you think that I am going to read these books? I think not! Perhaps my money just went to the beautiful new bookstore that the school just built...it is ginormous!!! Quite lovely, but OH MY WORDIE!!
Well, enough with my woes of paying five-hundred and eighty dollars for books, wait did I tell you that already? Yeah, my books were five-hundred and eighty dollars people! Sympathy! I need sympathy! Ha! Ha!
On to a happier note... my math teacher is GREAT! I love playing kid games in PE and am getting so excited to be a teacher. Really, this is my greatest passion and I really can't wait for the day that I will have my own class to play with...it is going to be a party in my room for sure!

My roommates are AMAZING! That is probably because I got to hand pick them! Yup, that is right...we all chose to live together and so far so awesome! I have loved every minute of being with them, although I guess that is not very many minutes. I have had an incredibly busy week this first week back however very rewarding...I am exhausted. I only have classes on MWF so therefore it makes for long days. Then I work on TTH which in turn makes for also long days. The Lord has truly blessed me with accomplishing all that I need to and I am super glad that it is almost Friday...then I am off to Averie's blessing!
Oh, tender mercy...I don't have the funds to get to Utah by myself (yes, you guessed it...$580!!!!) however I had a friend call me today. He asked where my parents live in relation to Provo..."about 20 minutes north" I replied, wondering where he was getting with that. Then came the blessed question..."well, do you want to go home this weekend!" YEAH!! So I will be home tomorrow night to see my beautiful niece be blessed on Sunday. Oh, and go BYU!! Thanks a million Shawn...I owe you!

To Tri or not to Tri?
So my brother Landon and my sister-in-law Haley are going to do a triathlon next year...they invited me to do it with them and some of Haley's fam. I figure that gives me plenty of time to train, right? It could be lot's of pressure during school, but I think that this could be a great thing for me and help me get in to shape...yeah, this is just what I need! Count me in Landon and Haley, thanks for getting me started on a great adventure and wish me luck as I train in Rexburg!
The Girls!
I have been blessed with great friends who love to get together! The last time that we were together was before Katie was married, so congrats Katie in your new adventure! Thanks Sylvia for hosting us and letting us visit in your beautiful home! It was so great to see you all with your kids...or soon to be kids. We missed you Brendi! Love you girls!
