Is It Christmas Yet?
September 17, 2008
Well my good friend Megan posted on her blog a great idea that her Stake is currently doing, and she was gracious enough to share it with all of us blogging buddies. From today (Wednesday) there are 100 days till Christmas...The challenge: For the next 100 days leading up to Christmas you have to give 100% of yourself to the gospel. It's a lot, I know, but it is already things we should be doing. I think it is a great idea to remind us what is really important in our lives. So here is the list of requirements:
Daily
Individual and family prayer
Individual and family scripture study
Acts of love and compassion to spouse (roommates or family)
Weekly
Date with spouse (or girl's night out...for my sassy single friends :)
Family home evening
Sabbath observance at ward of record
Magnify your calling
Monthly
Fast and payment of tithes and offerings
Temple Attendance
Home and Visiting Teaching
So, are you up for the challenge?

Rise and Shout, The Cougars are Out

WE LOVE BYU FOOTBALL!
Now that we're back to the swing of things at school, we have become fully immersed in Cougar Blue fever. Marcus pretends he's a BYU football player on the intramural field while I participate in the First Wives Club along the sidelines, (We rarely watch, and mostly talk, but dedicated to our men nonetheless). Even though they're not really BYU football players they did look a lot like them winning 54-7. Meanwhile, the real Cougars are unstoppable this year, and this weekend was nothing different! After this weekends game, we left with Snowies, Sunburns, and Good Stories. BCS Busters? We think so. 
After our controversial win against UofW last week, one look at this weekend's scoreboard should be plenty of proof that we deserved to win, controversy or not.

And no, this picture is not of me. Although it is what I feel like at the moment; which definitely counts for something. One last year! Yes, it is finally here. After many years, Marcus and I are finally at our Super Senior year of BYU. However, Marcus starts Law School next year so he's not quite done, yet. What a past few days we have had. After an enjoyable one week (summer break) back at home, Marcus and I drove to Provo then unpacked into our apartment on Monday.
Yesterday we started classes bright and early and they went much better than expected. In the years past, I would walk up to campus and try to avoid any people (bad roommates, old exes, etc.) that might be lurking on campus. But this year all of them have graduated. Yahoo! So I can now walk around campus in bliss and not be afraid of running into an old foe. (For example, When walking into a grocery store, you see someone from high school, and instead of saying hello, you turn your gaze and walk the other way.) I do it all the time. In fact, me and one of my college roommates, Brianne, would often do this and when we would see someone on campus, we would send out the text message "Code Blue!" to each other. It's not that I don't like to be friendly, it's just that by avoiding those "people-you-don't-want-to-see" you avoid any awkward confrontations. Do any of your do this? It's a terrible habit, but hopefully I'm not alone.
As for our classes, Marcus and I both scheduled all of them on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so we only go to school two days a week! Sounds like a breeze right? Well, truth is that means we are on campus (in classes) from 8am to 6:30pm which are some LONG DAYS I tell ya. By the end of the day, my brain is fried. Poor Marcus, he is taking the LSAT on October 4th so he goes to classes on Tues and Thurs. and studies all day for the LSAT on Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sat. So again, I am faced with the dilemma of not having a husband around. So what do I do all day? I study a lot, I'm starting a new workout program (Okay so I just started today, but trust me, it's an accomplishment that I even started), and I can now spend my days on campus, avoidance free! I'm excited to see what else this semester will have in store for us.
