I guess I should take a chance to give an update as well. I haven't posted on this blog in a while. As Mandy said, things are going pretty well in Logan. Utah State is a good school, I'm definitely finding some challenges but enjoying it all the same. The weather is getting cooler up here in Cache Valley, but I like Autumn weather...the leaves are bright yellow, red, and orange shades although now they're falling off and the dead of winter look is starting to settle in. But, I love all the seasons...Mandy sure isn't liking the cold and isn't looking forward to it getting colder.
Things are busy for Mandy and I as we are involved with work and school keeps me going. I am undecided what to do with my life and turning points and life-decisions are always hard. What's hard is that I really would love to become a Seminary teacher for the Church, but it is so competitive and there is no real guarantee of landing that job, so that is why they require you to pursue a college degree first to have something to fall back on. The back-up plan is my struggle. I don't know what else I would like to do. I used to consider medical school, but things changed and the Lord I feel has directed me in a different route. So what now? That's the current challenge I face. I guess I better do what I can to figure out my passions. I still work at Wells Fargo as a teller and I'm really wishing I could find something else! I think I've just gotten tired of it to be honest. Finance, sales, and business are definitely not my passions! But, for now the pay is good and we get good benefits. Such is life.
Halloween was fun! We were able to go down to Mandy's parents and stay with them over the weekend. We also went to a murder mystery dinner party that Mandy's friend Samantha invited us to. I had a good time! It was a 1920's Chicago setting, Mandy's character was a reporter named "Scoop" and she wore a fun red wig. She looked cute! I was "Billy the Kid Thrower" a baseball player. Mandy helped make my costume...she's such a good wife! (Well not just because of that, but all the little things she does!) Neither of us were the killer but it was all fun and silly.
And now we're in November and more holidays are on their way. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas...they're good times to be around family and memories are made. I'm excited for the time I can share with Mandy especially! It also means the semester wraps up and I'm ready for a new semester of classes. That's about it for now. Until next post!
