Turkey Day!

We had a great Thanksgiving. We had dinner with one of Dallin's mission companions and his wife it was lots of fun and really yummy! We also made our own turkey and pie, and stuffing. So we have a lot of leftovers! If anyone has any ideas for the 5 pounds of Turkey we have left I'm open to suggestions. I've already made turkey soup and turkey noodle soup...

Then on Friday we got up kind of early and went shopping for Christmas gifts. We tried out Aunt Shawn's shopping formula (two for me, one for you) and it worked out wonderfully. Thank you Shawn for the advice. Unfortunately we only bought one actual gift following this strategy so we still have quite a bit of shopping to do. But on the bright side we have some cool new phones and we get to sell our GPS now because our cool new phones have GPS in them and with the cool new phone plan that Landon and Jaron helped us get we can use it!

Dallin is turning in his final paper for his writing class today and has his first final on Saturday, so he's a little nervous but I think he'll do really good! And I have 3 more classes, 1 homework assignment, and then 2 finals before I'm free for Christmas break! I can't wait.

Happy Halloween... a bit late

Well I finally have a few free seconds so I decided to update our blog. Our Halloween was super exciting!! Not really. Dallin had a paper due the Monday after Halloween and I had a midterm that Tuesday plus homework to do, so we stayed home and studied. We got about 5 trick-or-treaters (I think 3 of them were in costumes). But we did share some amazing pizza with our friends Adam and Eve (not joking) that live a few buildings over. Dallin's parents sent the pizza!! and it was great. Thanks a ton :)

Dallin volunteered to bring a carved pumpkin to the ward Halloween party the week before Halloween so he made this bat-signal pumpkin. He really liked it for a few days until it started growing mold! Apparently pumpkins mold really fast in this much humidity. The ward Halloween party was fun, even though they said we were too old to do the trunk-or-treating.

I just finished with midterms... and they were kinda stressful! No one told me grad school would be hard! But I survived, I actually did ok on my math midterm and should find out about the fluids one today or next week. I'm just happy I am still alive. Dallin turned in his paper but hasn't heard anything back about it yet. We are both starting to gear up for finals, classes end in a little less than a month. So keep us in your prayers!
