One week down... How many years left...?

We went back to school last Monday and it has been a busy week to say the least. 

An update on USU-CEU.
Lets not pretend. It is still Utah State Extension and College of Eastern Utah. Two different schools that are not yet merged in any sense of the word! 
However, on a positive note, I was worried about taking broadcast classes and am happy to report that I LOVED them! I was extremely nervous when I arrived at my first class Monday evening to find that I would be the only student from Price! Literally. In all but one of my classes, I am the only one in the room! (A room the size of a closet no less!) haha  Other than feeling silly when I make a comment, because I am talking to a television screen, it is not half bad.  I feel very involved and connected with the class. The discussions have been amazing and I am excited for this year!  Classes are a whole lot more interesting when you are past general ed!

On a less exciting note...
Nick and I spent our entire Friday evening working on homework!?! 
Who does that?! haha :)
In my excitement for school I may have forgotten the work load that comes along with it.
Not to mention that somebody should have warned me that teaching English is not a good choice! I like to read, but the amount of assigned reading is....... well lets just say I like to read and I am drowning in it! haha :)

Over all... 
It is nice to be back to a set schedule.
It is nice to be back on campus and seeing people again.
The homework may be overwhelming but the discussions are worth it.
I am still happy that school has started again.


Our annual back to school picture! haha Taken Monday morning before we left the house of course.  Can't start breaking tradition! :)
Notice the shout out to Bowling Green University! (Just for you Cam!)

Tribute to Bayloaf 4

This past Saturday we traveled up North with most of the Cox family to watch Chris play bass in his band:  Bayloaf 4


It was in a beautiful park; complete with a stream (or stream bed), amphitheater, and a competing ward party.
Bayloaf 4 did awesome! They played Jimmy Eat World, "Johnny Be Good" (Overboard anyone!?), Neil Diamond, Cake, and much more! 


The worst part of it all is that I somehow deleted all but one of the pictures I took!! :( Sad Story.  The consequences of not understanding the world of technology!


So enjoy the one and only surviving picture: 



Nick, Chris, his purple bass, and Bennett hiding out in the background. :)

I found a straggler! :D (3 hours later) haha
No words............ :)
