I Can't Wait...

October 24th.

That's one week away, folks.

Christmas is in the air.

Thank you, Michael, for bringing me Christmas in October.

I'm in love.

Today it Rained

It was wet.

And cold.

Kathryn and I started listening to Christmas music tonight...

And now I have Christmas fever.

All I want is snow.

All I want is to come home to crock-pot cooked meals.

All I want is hot chocolate, every night.

All I want is my electric blanket keeping me warm when I sleep.

All I want is Christmas decor, everywhere.

All I want is to bake Christmas goodies, all day, every day.

All I want for Christmas is this c.d...

 19 days until it's mine.

A Busy, Eventful, and Amazing Weekend

These are the reasons why...

1. My nephew was born!

See previous post :)

2. I didn't have any classes on Friday

3. I got a surprising amount of homework done

4. BYU v. Utah State

Riley Nelson saved the game.

Watch the fourth quarter - you won't regret it.

5. General Conference.

The two GC weekends twice a year are usually some of the best :)

I'm definitely not ready for another week to start.
Is the semester over yet?

Samuel Jeffrey Walters

At 12:35 yesterday morning I helped welcome my new nephew, Samuel into the world.

Samuel Jeffrey Walters
Born September 30th, 2011
6lbs 4 oz

It was truly amazing.
I'm so fortunate to be able to be so close to my sister and brother in law and I'm very grateful for the opportunity that I had to be able to be there.

I love that boy so much already :)

News news news :)

First of all, I should probably share which classes I'm taking this semester.
(For my family's benefit, since they're the whole reason why I do this blog)

Child Development - LOVE it, but it is my major, after all :)
Family Studies - Required for my minor, and also super enjoyable.
Environmental Stewardship - Shoot me, I hate it.
The Middle East - Super interesting, but the homework load sucks, and my teacher is really hard. He has lived most of his life in the Middle East, so he tells great stories.
New Testament - Love it. Great teacher, great class.
Advanced Writing/Critical Thinking - Required for my foundations. We spend the whole semester working on like a 15 page research paper. I can deal :)

I have class all day, and then work every day until 5. I come home, do homework, hopefully make it to the gym, get 6-7 hours of sleep, lather, rinse and repeat.
Needless to say, I'm exhausted beyond belief, but I love every minute of it, besides science and middle east homework.

Now, in other news, I had to start a blog for my Family Studies class.
You can find it here.
It is completely religion based, and yes, I talk about my beliefs. It's for my class, and I really don't want to have to deal with offensive comments. So proceed with caution. I say that with as much love as possible :)

And now for the big news...
My parents are moving to Utah in about three weeks!
There are a number of reasons, but all that matters is that I'll be three hours away from home instead of thirteen.
I can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving, and maybe even just for no reason for a weekend or two!

Well, it's a Saturday night, and I have plans to attend to.
Ciao!
