It seems like it is all that I can do lately to keep from going crazy. I am so overwhelmed with school work; it seems like it will never end. In fact, I am taking time out of my homework schedule to write this long overdue blog. Not much has changed since I posted last. I am still studying to be a teacher. I am still student teaching in the fourth grade. One big thing that happened is that I went through the temple for the first time in August. I went through the one in Rexburg while we were on vacation at the cabin. It was really great because my Dad's parents were able to be there. I knew that it would be a crazy day, but I had no idea how exhausted I would be at the end of it. I don't think that I have ever been so tired in my life. I was ready to drop by the time the day was over. It was still great though.
I was also able to attend my best friends wedding in September. I was one of the bridesmaids and was able to attend the sealing and everything. I also made a lot of new friends in the process. I met Bethany's other friend Jessica and we hit it off really quickly. I was also able to get to know Andrew's (the new husband) sister (who were also bridesmaids) and they were really great girls. The wedding was sort of a three day deal. On day one there was a bridal shower (Beth got a lot of great stuff and we had a lot of fun); on day two there was a dinner called "The Night Before the Knot" (which I was unable to attend because I fainted in my kitchen that morning--it was nothing, just exhaustion and a slight infection); and finally, day three was the wedding and the reception. All in all, it was a great experience and I was glad that I was able to be a part of it. So, now it is back to homework and trying to find time for a life in between (good luck Stephanie)!
