"Thank you" for November

The semester is coming to end YAHOO! We have Thanksgiving break coming up as well. Our plans for the break are to head off to good old Washington and hang with my family, although for turkey day we will be in Boise. I believe Jason has got himself a ticket to the last Boise State home game! All is going well. Our apartment is a little dumpy but I've tried my best to make it livable. Jason doesn't fit in our shower, and it is always so cold. We have no carpet...wood and crappy linoleum. The floor always looks dirty, and we get dust everywhere. I have also learned that my husband sheds (as do I) but that is besides the point, he sheds more. We are having thoughts of moving to Boise after this Winter semester at BYU-I. Jason got on fast-grad, so that means he would have to go every semester and take fifteen credits every semester. We don't know if we can do this, since their are no job opportunities and we are poor college students. However, we did get grants so that has helped us a lot. It is so cold here. We just got back from a soccer game that one of our only friends was in. He is the keeper and did a fine job 2-0 way to go Shawn! Any ways life is good and we are still adjusting to being married, but I think we both love it thus far.

Back at School

Jason and I are back at school, and loving it! It is so cold in Rexburg and is supposed to snow soon. Our heater is not on because Jason is never cold but I am freezing all the time. We will have to get that scenario fixed! Being married is a new experience and we are loving the opportunity to get to know each other better. We've decided you learn a lot about a person by living with them. This weekend, Monica, Jason's mom is coming for Mother's Weekend at BYU-Idaho. I am kind of nervous at what she will think of our apartment, but we shall see. My mom, Linda, is coming the weekend after that for a wedding. So we have busy weekends coming, which means more homework during the week, yahoo!

Getting to Know Us

Jason and I met at BYU-Idaho in September 2007, at stadium singing. For those of you who do not know what this is I'll explain. Jason describes it as a cult activity where a bunch of Mormon's meet together and worship by singing. However, I would say it is a lovely Sunday activity to meet new friends and feel the spirit. Anyways, Jason had come with his new roommate, whom I just happened to know. I tried to spark a conversation with Jason but he was shy and somewhat unresponsive. Fortunately, he broke through that barrier and got my phone number. For the next year we dated, more than half of which was long distance. The rest is history.We were married August 8, 2008 in the Boise, Idaho Temple for time and all eternity.
