What the....?

I'm actually making a post because I have a little time on my hands right now....and why does she have a little time on her hands right now you might ask. Well it all started when I woke up this morning and got ready for my 7:45 class. I didn't wake up until about 7:10 so I was bookin' it getting ready. Then I hurried outside to see if my ride was ready or not, we're currently down to one car because of a broken belt in our other one that we keep putting off getting fixed because it'll cost us 80 bucks. I get a ride with Anna's husband Aaron, so I keep watching for him a waiting....by now it's 7:36 and no Aaron. So I run inside tell Chad that I'm just going to have to take the car and then leave class early to come pick him up for his next class. Then I head for the door, making a quick stop to fill an empty milk jug up with hot water, our newly found way of eliminating frosty morning windows in less than half the time (I should advertise: ), then I rushed for the car, doused the windows with the scalding water and was off in a jiffy. (what a funny little saying "off in a jiffy"; do you suppose we got that from the british?) Anywho, so I'm doing good, hitting all the green lights, but it's still about 7:47 by the time I pull up to campus....but something seems awry when I pull into the what is usually a very crowded and busy parking lot even at 7:45 in the am but is now a very desolated empty one. What the....? Sadly enough, my first thought was, "Is it some kind of holiday or something and I missed it?" "Could that many of teachers really have canceled class all on the same day?" But then I take another gander at our trusty car clock. Could it honestly be so? Did I really forget to change the time on my alarm clock by the bed? Have I sheepishly become another victim to the semiannual daylight savings ritual? And yes folks.....I truly had. And now I'm sitting here by myself in the computer lab with only the early morning janitors in the hall to keep me company. The only good news about this, besides the fact that I was finally able to find a little time to make another post, is that I'm so blasted early to my next class there's no way I'll be late. But yet, this truly is a little blessing in it's sad disguise because I've been trying for over two weeks now to make time to blog, but it's been so crazy busy with homework, calling stuff, mommy stuff, wife stuff, etc. (you all know what I'm talking about....except somehow you still manage to blog: )...my bad) Anyway, I'm glad that I finally get to update you on our lives a little.

Halloween was really fun. Chad is a holiday fanatic, with Halloween being one of his top picks. He's been wanting to be a mad scientist for almost a whole year now...and let me tell you, he ended up being a pretty sweet mad scientist. Emyri and I dressed up as his assistants with me being a gothic nurse and emers being a tiny hunch back named Igor: ) Absolutely hilarious! We had a friend halloween party and all of the little kids were dressed up in these cute little pumpkin, tigger, and cowboy outfits and then there was Igor hobbling around with a massive tumor on her back: ) The party was really fun though. We got together with a bunch of SV friends that are down here and ate pizza, played pictionary, and had donut eating contests. Pictures of all of this and more are on the way. This party was the day before Halloween, but on the actual holiday we got to go to my brother in law and his fiance's party. It was tons of fun too. We ate and talked and ended up playing the newly wed game which was tons of fun hearing everybody's answers. Good times.
This last weekend was really fun too. I was able to meet up with two of my old roommates from Snow and we went with our husbands (and emyri) to the BYU football game. It was the first one I'd ever gone to and I couldn't believe how many people were there. It was tons of fun too. Emyri didn't know what to think of all those people making all that noise at first, but before long she had joined in and was clapping, singing, and dancing right along with them just as if she herself were a raging BYU fan: ) It was so fun seeing Jamie and Courtney. I wished all of my old room mates could have been there. (I was blessed with awesome room mates). After the game we realized that we'd each paid seventeen dollars to pretty much talk to each other the whole time, which was funny, but so worth it. I love those girls. They truly are so awesome. After the game we went to Courtney's little duplex (way cute courtney by the way), and had yummy sloppy joys and talked even more. It really was such a fun weekend and I'm so glad I got to see them again.
Okay, so I have so much more to say and so many pictures to post, but there's a class congregating in here for their 7:45 am class (in reality), and my pictures are on our camera still at home. I'll get 'em out though asap (which is hopefully really soon) See you all, it's nice to be back again. Take care out there!
