over here

just a little of what we've been up to over here. school is in full swing. we set a personal record for money spent on books and are officially broke. but we're still smiling. we're pretty grateful we have the opportunity to go to such an awesome school & are able to pay for all the things we need. so blessed.

of course we had to take a first day of school picture. so maybe brian's was taken after he got back from class in the afternoon. class at 7 am is rough. (i did wake up to make him breakfast though, but that's only first day of school treatment.) but yes, i made him change into the clothes he wore to school-he was in his church clothes for work. the lengths i will go to to get a picture, & the lengths he will go to to make me  happy. love him.

speaking of 7am class. his is killing him. (so maybe his wife is a night owl) i can seriously count on 2 fingers the naps i've seen this boy take since we've been married. counting this one.

labor day was a blessing sent straight from heaven. having a monday off is the best thing that can happen to a college student. we had an awesome day. started with a lift ride up sundance & a hike to stewart falls & ended with a BBQ with some of the cousins & a late night movie. 

we hiked up with my cousin erin & her family. (aren't those little boys the cutest things you've ever seen?) & we ran into brian's cousin/best friend clark. they are so much alike, & of course they were just wearing practically the same thing.

brian keeps me sane by taking me out on a date every weekend. [& sometimes weeknights too] :) bless his heart. we've decided we need to expand our horizons when it comes to eating out. (we go to our favorite places over & over) we discovered an awesome little chinese place that is right across the road from our apt. & we loved it.

and then there's cold stone. we're pretty well aquainted with that place. :)

mostly, we're loving all the things school+fall has to bring. im loving not having to work every. single. night. anymore & brian is loving football season. 

here we are at the first game. byu vs. washington state. we killed them. but it was still fun. 

im also looking forward to scarves & boots. soup everyday. pumpkins & corn mazes. & leaves all over campus. fall is easily my favorite season. only wish it lasted a bit longer.

**don't be jealous of my photography skills. all blurry/not good quality photos brought to you by my iphone. i will have a nice camera someday. :) until then, this is as good as it's gonna get!
