Rain & Green

So things out here just grow like crazy. We let our lawn go for three weeks without mowing it because we were too crazy and didn't have a lawn mower yet. Luke finally got around to mowing it but missed a big spot. I don't know if you can tell but it is really like a jungle. The grass that is the shorter of the two has probably grown for a week. Cholo won't go out in it unless Luke has recently mowed it. It rains all the time. We have friends that said a few years ago he was spitting watermelon seeds off his back porch and the next year they had watermelons and still do. And they aren't any tiny dinky little things either they are huge. Anyways, crazy what water can do.

White Coat

Yeah that picture wasn't planned I don't know how Greg ever got that one. White coat ceremony was fun. The speakers talked for way too long but that is okay we had fun with Greg & Debbie coming out. It rained the whole weekend they were here but we still drove around and saw the sights.


It was fun to celebrate getting the white coat but it seems a little early to be celebrating. If feels like we still have a very very long road ahead of us until we feel prepared to wear the white coat.

Pumpkins

So I was bummed that we had to go buy pumpkins this year but what can you do. We had fun carving them. Luke is the noncreative one and just used a stencil--like usual. Hope everyone had a happy halloween. We had some friends over and their little boy said mine was scary. Not what I was going for but hey, whatever works.

Tennesse Football

So Luke & I were finally given some time off of school this weekend. We took advantage of it and went to a Vols (University of Tenessee) football game. We had a ton of fun, payed way too much for our tickets, and got soaked in the rain. It was a blast. I bought the tickets two or three weeks ago for this game, knowing we had time off. Walking into the game people were scalping tickets for 10$. Granted, they were probably way worse seats than I originally bought but I learned my lesson, we will take our chances and try from now on to scalp tickets.


We took the advice of a ward member and parked away from the stadium and took the trolley into the game. We were telling another ward member of where we had heard to park and he told us that we were going to get shot if we parked there. We were a little skeptical but we took our chances and parked there. It wasn't bad during the day. It was a little rough when we came back though. We ended up eating at this little pub close by. It was super good and had big screens for fans to watch the game. I thought people in Utah were a little fanatic about college football. My eyes have been opened on how into football people are here. They are very proud of their college teams. It is a little crazy if you ask me.


The game was sooo much fun. We had really good seats and the people around us were extremely nice. Around half time the some of the people behind us left. The guy behind us offered to let us to sit in some cushioned seats. It was great. Anyway the game was great, we got lost trying to get back to the trolley and and didn't get home until 2 in the morning. Good thing we are on break.
