Our Life Update

Not a whole lot has been going on with us lately. We have been going to school and working. Which is keeping us both super busy. We are always so relieved when we walk in to the house after a long day. Matthew has almost got his vet applications all sent in and paid for. He is hoping to have them all in by the end of this week. If you could all pray for us to get into vet school that would be the best! I also had a crazy thing happen to me this last weekend. We went to the football game UW vs Weber State. I had a cold so I had Matthew pick me up some Mucinex on his way home from milking goats that morning. I took it just an hour or so before the game, but I didn't eat anything with it or drink a lot of water that day. We headed to the game and about the end of the first quarter I told Matthew that I felt like I was going to pass out. I did, thank goodness Matthew was there to catch me. He took me home and I was pooped. I slept for a few hours and drank tons of liquids. I felt fine after I woke up. I think the mixture of the medicine, heat, standing, and not a lot of water got to me. Matthew was such a great husband to take me home and take care of me. It was a pretty scary thing for me. I have never passed out like that before. I have been really working on drinking lots of water lately. For labor day some friends Jared and Chelsea Larsen invited us over for burritos and to play games. It was fun to get together with them and James and Jessie. The burritos were super good too. The weather down here is still pretty warm. But I am sure soon we will be getting a cold front coming in. We have also started having family scripture reading. It has been great. We read about a chapter a night. I can really tell a difference in our home. Isn't it great how you can really feel the spirit while reading your scriptures.

You two are super cute. :) That's scary about passing out! I've only passed out once in my life and it scared the crap out of me! Now I just ALMOST pass out...but it's been since I was in middle school since I did last... That's good about scripture study too! Way to be! I'm going to really miss the UW football games...so sad!!!!!! :(

Glad you are doing better! Don't forget to take care of yourself! It sounds like we are going to be going home the week of the 20. I'm not sure what day exactly...but some time during that week. We will let you know for sure when we figure out our lives!

Hey, are you guys coming up any time in the next few weeks? I accidently had some diapers shipped to our old apartment where Charlie Cauffman lives and if you were coming up sometime could you bring them? I'm sure there are other people making the drive, but if you could or know of someone who could, I would really appreciate it!

Either time would work. Trevor also works across the hall from Michael at the hospital, so you could also give them to him. Either way, your mom or Michael, would work. Whatever is easiest. I told Vanessa I would talk to you and maybe you could get the diapers at church or something. Thank you SO much!
