A Fall Sunset In Bountiful

Just this last Thursday, Mom and I went to the Bountiful Post Office to mail a package to Heather. When we pulled up we were greeted with this beautiful fall scene.


That is the Bountiful Tabernacle in the forefront with the Bountiful Temple in the background.

Quote Of The Week

“Even with such a solemn mission given to Him, the Savior found delight in living; He enjoyed people and told His disciples to be of good cheer. … Remember the unkind treatment He received, the rejection He experienced, and the injustice … He endured. When we, too, then face some of that in life, we can remember that Christ was also troubled on every side, but not distressed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed"

-Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

BYU here I come!

It has been a whirlwind of events lately. Many of you may be aware but for those who aren't, I recently applied for and was accepted to BYU! Yep. that's right. I am officially a cougar now! Brooke and Eric have kindly offered their home to me. Brooke and her dad Randy also are helping me secure employment at the university.

I am soooo excited to go live with the greatest nieces and nephews. When they visited last night I think that some of them wanted me to hop in the car with them. Jake asked me why I couldn't move there sooner. :) I told them to wait just a few months.

While school has been challenging, I have had great success and am excelling. I am doing better than I anticipated and that is always a pleasant surprise.

I am also taking an institute class. It is on the Doctrine and Covenants. I enjoy the teacher immensely and the class is a great atmosphere. I anticipate it every week.

While it has been an adjustment being apart from Heather, it has indeed been a growing experience. I believe that it is a positive one as well.

Well, that's it for now. Wait... I have one more thing to say. Rise and shout the cougars are out! He, he! I couldn't resist! But really, go cougars!
