Yeah, It's Been a While

Yeah, it has been a while since we have posted anything on our blog. Sorry everyone. But seriously school has taken over our lives. The only reason I am posting anything now is because I am totally procrastinating my math homework...I am even trying to formulate an excuse for me not to go to class tomorrow morning. UGH! Why can't it just be Thanksgiving break already?! Well here are some things we have done since September:

Our sister-in-law, Melissa, had a baby shower for her baby that is due in about two weeks! It was fun to go and support her and her little baby! Congratulations Melissa! We also finally got a BYU sticker for our car. Now, I am not a huge fan of bumper stickers. Actually, I hate them. However, we have given four years of our lives to Brigham Young University and felt that should be displayed on our car for everyone to see. :)

We also had a great Halloween! Thanks Margaret for letting us take you and your friends trick or treating! Jake and I had a fun time painting our pumpkings! (If you would like to know the reason why we paint our pumpkins instead of carving them, you can ask Jake. haha!) I think they turned out so cute! On a sad note, when we came home from our trick or treating in Lehi we only had one pumpkin sitting outside our door. Yes, Jake's little pumpkin was missing!

I am in my arts semester of the elementary education program and am constantly swamped with little and big projects of all shapes and sizes. One requirement I have had has been to read 1800 pages in addition to the ten required books for the class, children's literature. I LOVE it! I have already exceeded the 1800 pages and am still reading lots and lots of books! One of my more recent projects was this puppet: Sam. He is obsessed with math and loves to draw graphs. Yes, he has a character. My theater teacher told us that as we made our puppets they would tell us who they wanted to be. (Gag.) So I guess this puppet told me he wanted to be Sam.


Jake has been super busy with his business classes but is loving it! He is going to be a great purchaser someday! He is also the best husband in the world! Tonight he made me dinner and had the laundry done when I came home from class!
Well there is a quick update. I really hate writing long blog posts like this so I am determined to keep this updated more frequently.

Thanks for updating your blog. I check it all the time!!! I love your pumpkins. They are/were adorable. You puppet is cute but kind-of creepy he was supposed to "talk" to you. :)
