One more thing down

So, this week I got a little closer to being done with all the assignments due this semester! I finished my food chem paper and that was a big load off my shoulders. I'm so sick of writing papers. I didn't even get this sick of it when I was taking english last semester!! I still have a 1 more big paper to do... we'll see how that one goes.

Today Weston and I also gave talks. They actually turned out ok I think. I was nervous before... as usual. It was on the happiness, guidance, and protection found through the words of modern day prophets and apostles. I struggled a lot with writing it simply because I was sooo sick of writing things! (meaning that I stood up and paced back and forth alot before I could sit back down and write another sentence or two... it's a long process to write things when my mind is rebelling).

We also walked home from church today. It was nice! It took us 50 minutes though. It's quite a long way away, at least compared to most churchs in Utah, we have to drive 10 min. up state street by Costco. It was nice to spend some quality time with Weston though (and get some quality blisters on my feet).

well, that's the news here. We're just trying to get through this next week and a half and looking forward to the thanksgiving break where we are going to relax mentally.

Oh, and Weston did really well this week and wrote several essay for more med school! (and on sat. I edited 3 of them! so we'll be able to get some more out this next week when I can find some more time the edit the rest)

have a good week, those of you that read this.

Pumpkin!

I made lots and lots of pumpkin things this afternoon and Weston helped!! It was fun to experiment and we used up all of the pumpkin guts from those that we carved for Halloween! (we've been saving them). Pumpkin seeds are really yummy! (so are cookies and bread and cake and this weird "roll" thing).

Day before my birthday!

So, Weston gave me a WONDERFUL surprise Bday present today! He wrote me a song (words and chords) on the guitar and sang it for me! I had no idea! I actually cried! -I rarely cry from being happy-

Also, we got a calling!!! and I have a visiting teaching assignment! : )

We also get to go to AZ tomorrow! (I get to go with him while he goes out for his interview and get to really meet his brother's family). We're excited! : ) I'm going on vacation in the middle of the semester and it's glorious! : )

This Halloween was good : ) we went reverse trick-or-treating : ) but only for a short time because we didn't get home from campus till 7 and we had a party (a small one) at 8.

Today we experimented with dinner and made up a chicken lasagna recipe. it was yummy. I also made several pumpkin things! some failed but some were really really good! it was fun. :)

i know i've done lots of smiley faces. sorry. i'm just really happy right now : )

Well, i hope you all start off your November well! and that you start being grateful for everything!
