Where did summer go?

Last week was a rude awakening when our weeks of lounging around came to an end. School started, work started, and all the craziness started. Ben is working part time in the campus bookstore, coaching an intramural football team, and taking a full load of classes. I am in my last semester taking my last four classes. One of them has me in an elementary school in Idaho Falls two days a week. I am working with a sixth grade class. At first I was terrified, but I think I am going to enjoy the experience (if the workload doesn't kill me first).

We finally got our wedding pictures back and we are thrilled with how they turned out! We have quite a few on Facebook, but for those of you who do not have access to facebook, here is a small sample:

I would write more, but it's time for me to leave to pick Ben up from work. Starting tomorrow we will have two cars--we are so happy! We are grateful to my parents for bringing it to Idaho for us. Life is good!

Our living quarters

We have had numerous requests for pictures of our new apartment. We waited so long just to build suspense. Did it work? At last, here is our humble abode for all the world to see:

This is what the living room looked like when we moved in the first half of our stuff!

And here is the living room after a LOT of unpacking!

The awesome kitchen

There ya go, the apartment tour. You missed out on some exciting parts like the hallway and the closets, but if you want the full tour you will just have to come visit us!
