Well we made it back from Landon and Kendra's wedding. We had a lot of fun there with the family and were incredibly exhausted when we got home (we only got like 1.5 hours of sleep on Saturday night, well it was technically Sunday morning but anyways...). We went to bed as soon as we got home and then both set off to school the next morning.
Dallin is doing really well at law school. He is enjoying it, although he has to study ALL the time! It's been paying off though, he has so far been able to answer most of the questions professors have randomly shot at him during class.
I started my masters classes and they are pretty hard. I learned my applied science class is really a math class in disguise, and was a little upset about it, but it's a required class so I just have to suffer through it. I got to start learning how to use the equipment I'll be using to do my research, it involves a laser which is fun now that we have protective goggles, it was REALLY bright before that!! Apparently it can blind you, but luckily I can still see :) A few days ago there was a bomb scare at the metro stop near my school for a "suspicious package". It was pretty exciting, I had never seen a hazmat crew before! It turned out to be nothing, just a bag someone had left lying around, but it was still fun to watch.
In other exciting news, we got furniture for our apartment!! It was pretty empty up until a few weeks ago. We got desk and couch for free!! (yay craigslist) and after some paint, the desk looked nice enough to stay in the house, I was a little skeptical before. The dining room table also required a bit of love, just a little varnish. And best of all we found out that Ikea has an "as is" section! We found a bookshelf that only had a few scratches on it for half off... it was great!
We also finally caved in and got a GPS! It happened one night when we went to buy our dining room table. We got it just fine and were coming home when all of a sudden the street we were on turned into a freeway! And then the lane we were in somehow got off the freeway and there wasn't a way back on. So we wandered around for about 35 minutes somehow ending up by Dallin's school and were able to find our way back home from there. So now we have a tom tom and we love it. We don't get lost any more and it even found taco bell for us when we were really hungry!!
It is finally starting to feel like fall here which is great because that means that it is not so humid anymore. We are looking forward to the leaves changing and are planning a trip to see the leaves and pick apples and pumpkins next weekend!! Hopefully the leaves change by then!
So jealous! It's going to be beautiful there in the next few days/weeks.
