Update! An update!

It's been a really long time since I updated this and mom wants to know what's been going on. So here's your update. Just for you mom.
We finally got moved into our condo and I'm loving it. We're not quite all unpacked but it's getting there and it's definitely starting to feel like home. We were able to get our own washer and dryer and it's been nice not having to haul it places. I think we'll lose less socks this way. I do miss seeing our families every week though.
Our new ward is fantastic. I love going every week. There are so many wonderful people there and I can't wait to get to know them all.
I love having our dog here with us too. He's the cutest little dog, all the little neighbor kids love him. Yesterday I was out walking him after work and all of the kids that had been on the playground ran over and just started petting him. He was in absolute heaven. He just sat and wagged his little tail at them and looked cute so they wouldn't quit petting him. It was cute.
Not a terrible lot has been going on with us, just school and work and trying to get good grades. We did find out that we both got an A in our computer course, so that's really good. We won't have to retake that one.
I got a paper back in English on Thursday that I threw together last minute for class, and was surprised to get an A- on it. I didn't think I'd do nearly as well on it, but I'm satisfied with it. I'm hoping to pull an A out of that class as well.
I thought I had decided what I wanted to do with my life, but it's all up in the air again- leastways with college it is. I just want to stay home and be a mom, but I know I need to get an education for in case anything ever were to happen. I hope and pray that nothing ever would, but it's always better to be prepared. I've toyed with thousands of things, but I have no idea what I actually want to do that way. I have this dream of having a house full of kids and cooking and cleaning and just being a mom. Like my mom was. I want to be able to be home when my kids get out of school and hear about their day so that's what we're working for.
I don't have anything else to write right now, but maybe I'll post again soon. Who knows...

Wait! You two still exist? Hmm...zees ees good news.

So things have been well? Sounds like it. I hope Dave is doing well? All the family, etc.?

Now about your dog...you need a big attack dog, IMO. Something that can kill and eat things. (Sorry if that's graphic for you Steph, :-P)

BEAUTIFUL. Really, this is rarely seen and I find it wonderful. I think you should totally concentrate on that! In fact I'm reading a book that's kind of on the subject, in a way...I can easily get you a copy if you want. In fact I can get you a couple REALLY good books on the subject, and I even know the author on one so I can get her to sign, and I know (via bloggysphere) the daughter of another....

Tell your husband he should call me. ;-D Y'all should stop by my blog and say hi; I miss my Utahns. Like. Awful. :-(
