Yeah yeah, i know i'm not doing so hot at this blogging thing. i'll put up a few pictures and maybe you'll forgive me. Stephen finally found a job, at one of the on campus convenience/grocery stores, perfect! Within walking distance, still has time to do homework. Schedule wise, this might be the best semester we've had yet! As soon as he gets over the review and pretest, calculus should level out, and life should be just dandy. Speaking of dandy, you'll never ever guess where his geology club is going this year.....seriously, you wont guess. but i'll let you try.....i promise to post the answer in a few days, just for the fun of it. Scoot is mellowing and really starting to enjoy playing with joe, which makes me so happy! The only time we really run into problems now is when joe wont do what scoot wants him to. I'm getting used to being back on a schedule, which is nice, would be nicer if i could get some sleep!! Drowsy mommy makes for lots of movies being watched around here....And my latest sillyness, i have fallen in love with a grocery store!! Isnt that funny? Its called the Sunflower market, owned by the guy who created Wild Oats, except now his goal is to UNDERCUT WALMART!!!! Isnt that always a good thing? They have the most awesome produce ever, and its all cheap!! Also lots of other funky foods, that wouldnt be cheap anywhere but are cheaper here. I love it, it makes me happy. Where else can you get 4 clamshells of blackberries, and not a single one is moldy or too overripe??? Small things I find joy in.....Scoot's latest favorite activity is playing on our patio and surveying the complex





And here's what our courtyard looked like a few days after we moved in. Within 24 hours there was a snow fort (stephen's) and 3 igloos out here. The snow is to die for!


Now that i finally have batteries for the camera, i promise to post more pictures in just a few days (after i take some....) with the revelation of Stephen's trip of a lifetime!

Oh, I am so glad you all are doing well! You two are the most optimistic and loving people I think I've ever met! Love and miss all 4 1/2 of you! ;) Love the snow, too. I'm jealous! Now let me guess here....Missouri? To Meramec Caverns? Maybe???

So I was going to say Missouri too....don't keep us in suspense too long! Glad you are liking it there- I would love to check out this grocery store- where is it? We are heading back to Utah in March for Joe's sister's wedding- perhaps we could hook up!

I am sad that I really didn't get to give you a proper goodbye and good luck in your new Utah adventure. So here it is - I hope that things go wonderfully for you and your cute family at BYU. Yeah for me as I can keep up with your going on's now. :)
