alive & well

Yes, yes, we are. We're alive and well! Here is what's been goin' on the last week and a half . . .

We drove 11 hours to Carmel and spent the weekend with Ben's mom & dad. The highlights were the yummy food (all of Ben's favs) and the segway tour of Indianapolis. Segways are the best and they make me feel like a space martian. Another favorite was spending the whole weekend with the in-laws . . . LOVE them! :)

Then we finished our drive to Utah with 25 hours in the car. Wooo-hooo!

We are back in Provo (even though we missed the exit to BYU the first time . . . Ben said "I think the Y on the mountain was a couple of miles back . . ." Haha!). We are in the middle of unpacking and I feel that we will be in the middle of that for quite some time. We feel so blessed by the generosity shown to us through wedding gifts and are very excited to organize everything and start to use it all!

Ben got a job as a T.A. for MCom 320. Funny how that's the class I'm currently taking through Independent Study. :) He will work 10 hours per week in addition to his 15 credits of the Management Core in the Marriott School of Business. I have 12 credits of major classes - Cognitive Development, Advanced Issues in Human Development, Family Adaptation and Resiliency, and Marriage and Family Enrichment and Therapy, in addition to a half credit jazz dance class. I am currently on the job hunt. Woo-hoo for school!

No, but really, being back at BYU and being married to Benjamin is the BEST THING EVER. Seriously, love love love it!

Dad drove up this weekend to bring us our wedding presents from California and boy, did we have a party!! Daddy took us all around Provo and was the ultimate dad, setting us up with everything we could ever need and taking us to our favorite restaurants. We had an absolute blast!

Life is good. We are busy with school, setting up house, a job or trying to find a job, and enjoying life as married students!

Oh, I also chopped off all of my hair today! You like?
