Normalcy may occur

Now that classes have been assigned and well into the semester and a schedule has been ironed out for work, we have begun to see a trend in our life...let's see how long it last!
So far we have achieved good grades in our classes. I'm very happy this semester as opposed to the last 2! I've been getting A's on all my papers and homework and for the most part great grades on my test. I've decided I really like my classes this semester and I'm learning a lot and having fun too. It's occurred to me that Weber State does not have a problem with canceling their classes and test on short notice, unlike USU where I never had a cancel class if it wasn't planned ahead of time(like the beginning of the semester). In the last week I had 4 classes cancel and a midterm canceled until further notice, whatever that means. It's strange and it throws my week out of whack. Alex has been doing good in school, keeping up on his 2 online classes for the most part and doing great on his papers and assignments. He's enjoying school and so far really likes them. He works more than I do so I don't see him a lot during the days when I'm at home and off of school. Right now we're in a battle for the computer. I give him the opportunity first when he has a paper due the same day he wants it. ;)
Outside of that we spend time listening to books, working out, going to family and friend events, some random activities and sleeping.
On the 3rd of September Erica, my sister, got married to Mike. It was a very nice wedding and reception. She had a great turn out and looked very nice in her dress. Our reception was on the 4th of September and I was great. We did a nice job decorating and had a great turn out! OUr cake was beautifully done, Sister Lane did an amazing job!
We recently went to his mission reunion on the 1st. It was fun, a lot of spanish and a heck of a lot of confusion for me! I could translate a little on my own but I felt inadequate compared to all those who spoke so fluently and eloquently. :) It was a great experience for Alex, he loved seeing guys from his area. Most of his companions were mexican or currently serving. His mission president was able to attend, he had been released.
We enjoyed conference, our first sessions together. The Saturday morning session I was on my way to Idaho with Mother Hill and Alex was with Fasha Hill on their way to help Erika and Brent with their fence. President Monson spoke about the new temples and where they were going to be built and as we both listened we heard Hartford, Ct. My heart was full and my testimony in our Heavenly Father grew stronger. My grandparents live back east in Waterbury, Ct, a town over from Hartford. They are not members of the Church or Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints but my grandmother when she was out at the beginning of September was interested in learning more. So I sent her a book of Mormon, a few Ensign magazines about temples, and general conference talks and the proclamation to the world The Family to her so she had some good research and information about the church. When I listened to Preisdent Monson say Hartford i knew my prayers had been answered, an opportunity for my grandparents to learn more. Alex called right after and said " Did you hear where they're building a temple!!??" I couldn't contain my joy i was so happy! I know that the Lord does hear our prayers and does answer them in time according to Him.
Well I guess this will cover a good chunk of the last month of out life! Hope we'll post soon!

  1. Glad to hear that school is going well! Trust me, we know all about fighting for control of the computer in this house...we'll see how it works out when Brent starts school again in January!
