Even though it's only been about a week, i feel that there has been a whole months worth of activity and emotion going on with us. I will keep it straight to the point for the smaller things that are self explanatory. Let's get started!

Hubbs is in the process of filling out his grad-school application. He has a phone interview tomorrow with a faculty advisor. We are going strong on that. Pretty confident that he will get accepted, but still if you keep us in your prayers that would be appreciated.

Hubbs is playing ultimate frisby for school and has games every Friday night. One of the team members lives in our complex and so on their practice days, his wife and i go walking together while they practice. They are all really good players. STRONG. POWERFUL. The game this friday was an interesting one. The team they played was short and couldn't keep up with our team. Hubbs mates are all super tall *(except like two) and they all have played several semesters and know what they are doing. They play well together, just get lazy sometimes. They have been working hard on conditioning themselves to play hard. They won the game 10-0 on Friday.

Hubbs is working on school work and is so busy trying to keep up with his spanish teacher who he finds very annoying. She requires so much work. Our online class we take together is pretty demanding too of our time and not always worth the work put into it. He is getting fairly good grades and does his job of studying hard to get good grades for his scholarship.

Soon he will be going to the chiropractor that i was seeing a few months ago. He wants to get adujusted and work with the doc on his internship. That will start this week most likely.

I am super busy right now with all my classes, work, and trying to fit in fun things for my own sanity. For one of my classes, we have a group project to do PR for a society and so we have been working on that. It's kinda great because the team needs us to get all the stuff set up as soon as possible to implement it this semester. They have nothing so i am working on creating a logo and t-shirt design for them while everyone else is working on something different.

This society needs A LOT of work and so it's keeping us very busy and with a group leader that isn't bing very supportive and helpful with providing us with the information we need to do our project, it's becoming quite frustrating and with this being the last class of the day, i go home feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.

With this class i am taking comes seminars. Every semester the entire department cancles all of it's classes so that the students and teachers can go to seminars that go for six to eight hours a day. Last week me and my sister-in-law needed to go to these seminars. I ended up having to work all day so i only went to one of the sessions. The lady that spoke talked to us about her job as a PR Consultant. Since that is what i want to be, i thought it would be very interesting, but she talked more about other things that didn't have the most relevant points to the topic. The next day she came and spoke in each of my classes about the same thing. The up side what that i got a free pair of socks from it.

Work is kinda busy just cause i am still figuring things out for one of the jobs. I am working on putting together a work book for future employees. Finishing a project from last semester. Also, just getting the day to day stuff done. Last week, i went into the place where hubbs works to warm up some food. His boss came out of her office and stopped me to talk. She said "have i told you how much i love your mouth?". I of course shocked at the comment sat there stunned and not sure what to say or how to react. She continued to say "see look at my face" and pulls her hand up to her mouth and used the first two fingers on her hand to move each side of her mouth down, on her face. She then continued " and my husband's even worse". Pulling her hand up again to pull the edges of her face down even more. She then said that she loved my mouth because it's naturally in an upward shape and looks happy.

So as i said things are busy around here. Saturday is a great example because we didn't stop all day. We woke up, ate, got ready and went to the temple. While there it was so interesting to me. The first reason why was because we hadn't gone to the temple for a long time and so it was a great refresher to kind of start pulling myself back to what i believe. Then we had a wonderful experience to share the session with a young guy who was going for the first time. His innocence and purity was great to see. His curiosity was intriguing to me because i hadn't seen a "own endowment" for anyone other than myself over a year ago.

After the temple, we went to pick up hubbs sister and her husband. We have been planning for a family dinner and activity that needed some food and groceries. Here in our little podunck town, there isn't much here for shopping of any sort. We have a store that is in the bigger town about a half hour away and so we carpooled there. On the way we remembered the different things we needed from the town. The whole trip took like almost 4 hours.

On our way home, we were driving and laughing and having fun. On the other side of the freeway there was a cop that was coming our direction and as he got close to us, we noticed his lights were on. Usually cops in this town are pretty intense on speeding. Hubbs said we were only going four miles over so we all started to kind of worry they would turn around to come after us. We saw an exit coming up and figured we would drive down this road to our apartment. We didn't realize till we hit a dead end, that it was the wrong exit. So we had to turn around and we wanted to find the way home without the freeway. So needless to say we got lost. Right before we took this exit, sister in law mentioned that they had stake conference in seven minutes. We all laughed after we realized it wasn't going to happen.

Luckily when we got back to town, we had dinner that was ready and we got from the store. We sat down and ate like carnivors because we all realized just how hungry we were. As hubbs and i were fininshing up, our neighbor texted us to see if we were ready to go to a straw maze with them. I told her we were up the street and would be there shortly. So we ran home and when we got home realized they were sitting in their car waiting for us. We then ran up the stairs to grab our coats and back down to go.

We got to the straw maze and they hadn't planned on many people going out because of the cold windy weather (that is always in our area) so there was no one there really. We walked through the maze that wasn't that exciting and quite small. After being there for 30 minutes we went home. Once home, we called the siblings to come over.

While on the phone with the siblings, the neighbors came to see if we wanted to get ice cream with them. So we walked over to get ice cream and told the siblings to meet us there. The siblings came over and we walked back to the house afterwards and put in a movie. I fell asleep on the couch during a movie. So our day was very busy and that is what every day is like. We only rest when we go to bed.

Yesterday, we had church until 4:30 and realized that we had people coming over for dinner in 20 minutes. The meal we wanted to make wasn't going to be ready in time so we had to make up a new meal and get everything set up. Hubbs went to pick up cousins while i stayed home cooking dinner. Sister-in-law came over and started setting up for her service project that we were doing. Once dinner was done, we put together goodies and door bell ditched friends in need. It turned into a door bell ditch 3 times in a row. We all were working on getting one friend for the third time and this guy who had been walking around the complex and saw us as we were running around and asked what was going on. So we told him and asked him if he wanted to join in. He said sure and so we had him go do the last doorbell ringing and he ended up getting chased down. DON'T WORRY. The guys both had a sense of humor. It was all good. Another friend ended up chasing down one of the cousins and again all involved had a great time with all smiles!

Anyway, big news isn't going on yet. Life is just moving forward and school is half way over for the semester. Two more semesters for me and i can't wait!

See ya friends.
