There's No Place Like Home

There's no place like home...especially when you don't have a place to call home!

I'm back in Utah now. Kory is a couple of weeks into school and he seems to be doing really well keeping up with everything. He has a pretty tough semester. He is taking the rest of his prerequisites for applying to the Business School. That includes calculus, statistics, and economics in the same semester. Kind of a lot to keep up with. I am only taking one class this semester. Kory and I are taking LDS Marriage and Family together. It is really fun to have a class together, especially one that supplements our preparation for marriage.

Other than my one class with Kory, my plan for the semester is to just work full time and do wedding planning. I have only been back for a few days, so I haven't made too much progress. But hopefully I will get more accomplished soon. My highest priority right now is finding a great job.

I am still living out of a suitcase. It is so awkward, and I really have a hard time staying organized but you do what you can. I have been living out of a suit case since the end of June. It is getting old really fast! Kory and I found our apartment for when we get married. It is a really nice one bedroom place. We are super excited about it! It isn't available until September 20th though, so Kory is homeless right now too haha. It will be a great story to tell our kids, "when your dad and I were engaged we didn't have anywhere to live so we just lived out of our cars." haha, no not really, we have been staying with friends. We are getting married November 8th so it didn't make sense for either of us to sign contracts in single housing apartments because then we would end up paying for November an December rent that we didn't even use. So that leaves us at friends' apartments until at least the 20th when one of us will move into our married apartment.

This last week we did some really fun things. On Thursday we went the dollar movie theatre and saw Hancock, starring Will Smith. I liked it. It's about a super hero who made everyone in the city upset with the ways he saved them because he destroying everything in his path along the way. But it turn out good, and has a cute ending. Friday Kory and I went on a little hike up at Sundance Ski Resort. We rode the chair lift up to the top and then walked along the trail. It was a lot of fun. We both love the outdoors, and it was something we hadn't done before. Saturday we went to the BYU vs. UCLA football game. We absolutely killed them 59-0 so that was fun. I like it when our team is good :) We were not very good the first two years I was at BYU. So overall it was a really great week.

I hope things are going well for each of you. Love you guys!
