Seasons Greetings

So apparently Christmas is in like 3 weeks. WHHAAT? When did that happen? I don't know. We're both so stuck on school that Christmas still feels forever away. We do have all of our shopping done and they're all even wrapped and under the tree. So why doesn't it feel like Christmas yet...Hmm. It could also be because we're trying to MOVE. What a pain. I'm to the point that I don't even want to finish decorating my tree cause I might just have to take it down anyways. Ah well. We'll just see how it goes. Hopefully we'll find a new home soon so that we can know what we're doing!

Finals are coming up next week. I have 3 online ones and 2 in class exams. I'll be done by Tuesday. But poor Tyler, he has his Chemistry final and make-up exam coming up next week. Lot's and lot's of studying for the 2 of us! Our house is a literal disaster--I don't even like thinking about it. haha But by next Wednesday it will be beautiful again...so that I can start packing. yayy.

Anyways, Merry Christmas! Hopefully soon I can post pictures of a cute tree with pretty presents underneath (they're already there, and they look marvelous. but it doesn't look the same without all of the lights on the tree!). Charli and my mom went along with a craft idea of mine that took FOREVER and we're not even finished yet. Hopefully we can all finish before Christmas because I think it will turn out cute...eventually! For Christmas Eve we'll be with my fam and then we'll head out to Fielding after Christmas morning to spend the day with Tyler's family. I'm still hoping we'll get to talk to Haden, but we'll see :)

Drive, Drive, Drive

It seems as though we are always doing homework. Every spare hour of every day. But this last weekend we finally got a reprive! Now we're realizing that we'll be doing a lot of driving! Last weekend Tyler's last companion from the mission got married so we drove down to Salt Lake, then he took me to Lehi to stay with my parents because he had to drive back up to Logan for work. Then Saturday after work Tyler came back down to Lehi to finish watching conference with my parents. Then we both came back to Logan. Sunday night Tyler went out to fielding and back again. Tomorrow (Wed) Tyler gets to drive to Harrisville after work then come back, then we'll be going out to Kaysville for the wedding on Thursday. Then there's the hunt and a bunch of other driving stuff coming up. Long story short, LOTS of DRIVING. But it just makes for more adventures!

As of Late

Lately all we seem to be doing is homework...lots and lots of homework. Tyler has about 5 billion hours of study time each night for his math and chemistry class (not to mention English!) and I just seem to be writing paper after paper for my classes. This weekend alone I've probably written about 9 pages of research journal crap...but we love it :)...I think...
Tyler getting home from work & realizing how many hours of studying he still has to put in before the night is over :(
Studying away...what a good boy!


This weekend we did get a little reprieve from our monotonous days of school and work. We got to go up to the Idaho Falls temple to support Tyler's cousin as he went through the temple for the first time. He's going to soon be serving in the Marshall Islands so we thought we would go say bye one last time. Unfortunately, this weekend we also had to say bye to Tyler's older brother for a little bit. He's moving down to Arizona for work and his cute little wife will be joining him soon. We're going to miss our buddies :( But it will be a fun experience for them to get away and we're happy for them.

Today was the dedication of the Brigham City temple as well. What a wonderful experience to see yet another temple dedication. The spirit is always so strong and we love to hear our wonderful leaders speak. Tyler also knew quite a few people who were there in the temple, including his old high school choir director! When his sister and bro-in-law went we got to spend some time with our favorite little niece and enjoyed an evening with family. There's nothing better.
