So I finally have a picture of our apartment! It's actually only of the living room, because I never got around to taking a picture of the rest of the place when it was all clean. But anyways here you go!
Sam and I are really happy with where we live and the people around us are pretty great, except the people above us. They are SO LOUD! It is just ridiculous. We can hear them shut cupboards and they must stomp around when they walk. They sound like elephants up there. But we are dealing with it. We finally got our ward directory this past Sunday and we stalked it to see who they were, but alas they aren't in there. So either they go to the family ward or they aren't members. It is weird to think that just anyone who wants to live in those apartments can. We have two single men in the complex, obviously each in there own apartment. (All the apartments at College Park are one bedroom, so it would be way awkward if they were roommates.)
Not too much has been going on with us. Just being busy with school. We are both wrapping up a two week span of midterms. Like I said I just took a math test today, and I have a geology test tomorrow. Sam has his first chemistry test tomorrow, which he is pretty nervous about. Mainly he is nervous because he wants to do well in the class and like chemistry because we have been really thinking about Sam changing his major from mechanical engineering to pharmacy. If he did that we would definitely have to transfer schools, and leave Provo. Most likely, if we decide on pharmacy, then Sam will apply to the University of Utah's pharmacy program, and I would transfer once again. Salt Lake Community College has a dental hygiene program, so it works out for us. It is a little bit bigger program that here at UVU. And it's cheaper to go there. The program at UVU has 14 spots available each year and I believe that SLCC has 21.
Our "One year anniversary" is coming up in a couple weeks. It is the anniversary of our first date. We are going to replicate our first date, or at least attempt to. We will go to the temple in the morning because that is what Sam did that day, and then we will go to lunch. I am not sure where yet. And we have a baptism to go to. And then that night we are going rock climbing. We have wanted to go before this, but every time we planned it, it just never worked out. And we will end then night with a movie and some dessert. The baptism is for my step sister Jen's fiance, soon to be husband. Jen is a member of the church all ready, working her way back, and her fiance, Edgar, has investigated the church for a very long time and is just now getting baptized. They aren't legally married yet, so they are going to have their bishop civilly marry them a few days before the baptism. And then in a year they will be sealed in the temple. We are so excited for them and so happy to see them making such great choices. And then they will get to have their daughter Sophie sealed to them also. The knowledge of eternal families is probably one of the most comforting things in the world. It is so nice to know that Sam and I will always be together no matter what happens to us in this life. I can hardly wait to spend forever with him.
This weekend Sam and I are heading up to Idaho. It will be nice to be back and visit some more. It is always nice to be around family. And I must admit I miss Mama Syd and Alan. It will be sad not getting to see Oden. I don't think I blogged about that before. Oden was one of their dogs, he was a huge Great Pyrenees and Newfoundland mix. This is him:

But this summer we noticed that he started limping around quite a lot. We took him to the vet and he couldn't find anything wrong. Everything in his foot felt fine, so the vet just gave us some pain medicine, hoping that by the time Oden used all the medicine his foot might heal. But it just kept getting worse, so we got him some more medicine. He finished all of that and was still not better. By this time Sam and I were back in Provo. According to Sam's parents, the last week of Oden's life, he could hardly walk around. They took him to the vet again, and he must have done a lot more tests than when we first took him. Oden had bone cancer and it had spread. There was nothing they could do for him, so they had to put him down. When Sam and I found out we both cried. He was such a fun, cute dog.
Well sorry to end on a sad note. I'll let you know how the weekend turned out and what else has been going on in our lives.
Until next time!
