The Beginning of Fall

With September not only comes the chills and thrills of Fall, but the drills and skills for school start to set in since it is the beginning of a new school year.

After Ryan left on his shuttle at 2am Shea and I made a late night trip to Walmart in IF (Idaho Falls-30mins away), for some school shopping. Shea had the idea to go when no one would be there, so what better time then 3 in the morning! It was actually a lot of fun. No one was awake and it was fun having the streets and place to ourselves. By the time we got back I was so awake from the chilly air -which frosted windshields and lawns- that it took me awhile to go to sleep.

Shea and I got really lucky this year because we didn't have to buy many books. Shea already had all his and I only had one to buy (although I bought a bunch of novels for classes already to read over the summer). All in all that made this year of school a lot less expensive.
Yesterday was the first day of school, fortunately we had our first class together, unfortunately it was Biology at 8am. Not to fun, but since were together it wont be too bad either. Shea started work yesterday too. He is working on campus at the computer help desk, not up front like before but downstairs in the "cave". He is answering phones and helping faculty and students with questions and concerns about technical difficulties.

This is my last semester so I am stoked to get done as soon as possible which is looking like Dec 18th right now. Graduation is coming up fast. I am excited to complete college and earn my Bachelors in English. Shea has a bit longer, with the mission and changing his major he is a bit behind. So hopefully things move along a little faster and smoother.

My brother, Ryan got home safe. It was a long trip and he was exhausted but it all turned out well. Now he is locked away studying for the ACT. Which he takes on Saturday. GOOD LUCK RYAN! And to my other brother I want to say HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY DANIEL, I wish you the best and I'm so proud of you!

These are some pictures of Shea and I on our way to class...

After school today we got ice cream and played in the park. Talking on the grass and swinging on the swings is one of my favorite things to do. It was a beautiful day!
