 This week was fun. Paul was supposed to graduate this week so we got lunch and walked around campus to celebrate. 

Friday, we drove down to Provo with Sam, Mike, and Wendy to help Matt and Hannah move into their new apartment. Afterwards, we went with everyone to Sam Sr. and Terry's House for pizza from Brick Oven and celebrate Mike's birthday.

Matt and Hannah came up to Bountiful on Saturday where the girls went to the fabric store and the boys went to play basketball. We sewed all day and I got my Halloween quilt quilted and finished the embroidery on my two table runners. Paul got really good at Mario Odessy and entertained us with his guitar playing. Later we went to the park and some of us played basketball. Sam and Paul went head to head and Paul was impressed with Sam's new skills. Hannah, Rachel and I just walked around the park and dodged the sprinklers. We enjoyed a delicious barbecue dinner that night that Mike and Wendy prepared. 

Sunday we got a nice spiritual thought from Adam. Then Wendy and I got right back to sewing! We quilted the table runners, did the binding on all three projects, and started embellishing. We did not quite finish the Halloween quilt, so we'll finish that one up next time. It was great to get together after a two month quarantine!

Love you all!

 This week was good. I was able to mail mom's stockings on Monday then start on Peter's. I finished his by the end of the week, so that was good. They turned out so cute and tiny! My coworker, Liz, told me about this overstock store that has all these Christmas trees and how she got a $150 one for $30 and I was like..heck yeah! I am totally going to check it out. Paul humored me and we went together on Thursday. It was kind of gross and disorganized and there weren't a lot of personnel around but we did find a tree that was originally $260 and we got it for $50! It was totally unopened and I love it! Paul found it too, I'm so glad he was willing to come with me. The weekend I sewed a ton and got started on Wendy's order and made some Thanksgiving napkins. Paul worked hard in lab and got to start his own project! It is very exciting and he is learning a lot. We love you all!

  This week was a good week! Paul had a good week of classes and I got a job! I was applying all week and heard back from a law firm I had called a couple weeks ago. They emailed me on Thursday, we set up an interview for Friday, they hired me Friday and my first day is tomorrow! I will be a practice assistant for the firm. They specialize in patent and trademark law and they are only a 5 minute drive from our apartment! I am very excited for this opportunity! It will be similar to what I have done for work in the past but I'm sure there will be plenty of new things as well. Saturday, we went to the mall to get me more office clothes and just walked around in the nice air conditioning. It was a fun celebration of getting a job that is better than what we were looking for. We hope you all are well. Love you!

This week was good. It was the first week of classes for Paul's last semester at USU. yay! Almost done!  Paul liked all his classes except one from this past week. He found another one he can take instead and is ready for the rest of the semester! For some reason I've been having headaches this week. They got so bad that I just stayed in bed on Wednesday (besides the 8 hours I worked). It was helpful because I did not have a headache on Thursday! Paul was really sweet and took care of cleaning and cooking this week so I didn't have to worry about it.  This weekend we watched Dallas play Denver in basketball. Saturday we watched Dallas play the Lakers. We just stayed in because it snowed a ton and made the roads crazy. Saturday morning was clear though, so we went to the pool and did some laps there for some low impact exercise. I had a lot of fun and hope we keep it up for the semester. Swimming is a lot harder than I remember as a kid! But I'm psyched.  Sunday the road...
