Sending Matt Off with Raised Canes

 Yesterday I drove up and got Matt from the Salt Lake Airport to drop him off at the MTC - aside from crazy traffic there and back, we made it back to Provo without incident.  Matt shared his last cookies from Dad which was really nice of him!  We stopped by my apartment to say bye to Allie before she went to work, then continued to Provo.  After getting to Provo, Matt and I stopped by the Creamery to get snacks and breakfast, and I found a cute Halloween blanket for Allie.  Matt and Sam and I went and got Raising Canes for lunch and played several rounds of Dominion at Sam’s apartment before we drove up to the MTC.  We were a little bit late but we got him there.  We had parked in the Wymount apartments and started walking down when the volunteers there told us that we needed to drive through and that there were no walk-ins; thankfully she caught us before we had walked too far down.  We got back in the car and drove in, down to the underground parking.  We were greeted by an elder who would be giving Matt his orientation, and we hugged him goodbye and left.  Short and sweet.  Mom and Dad had also called and talked to Matt on the drive up to the MTC.  We’re so excited for Matt and know he’ll do a great job!

Mags super super senior year

 Hey family! A girl in one of my classes said that she keeps a blog and shares it with her family so they can get updates on her life and week. If you’d like to join the posting side of the blog, just let me know and I’ll add your email!  Anyways, this week school started and it’s been so great! Organic chemistry will be my hardest class, and then I have three other nutrition classes and then a basketball class with rach.  Some highlights of this week:  3 new friends in my cohort so we have basically all our classes together!  Sushi with Rachel and her roommates for Grace’s birthday 🎉  My plants are growing really really well and not dying 😂 And it’s cooling down again which means cold fresh air and warm cozy blankets all night long (my favorite)  I love you all so much and hope you’ll want to join too so I can hear more about your lives!

The day I was born

Still here? Great! This week was filled with lots of adventures that I will not share because we are only here for the good stuff. Magdalena had planned an excellent birthday with Jimmy John’s, Oreos, and a wonderful trip to my local jewelry store for a casual nine-hour shift. Since Maggie’s been caught left footed, we have been finding new ways to help her get around. Just do not ask her to try to get in the cart at Walmart. She was not a fan… We then made a star appearance at the local men’s league, where I am able to acquire my weekly three fouls, ten half fives, and four calls for a sub because I am old. This 27-year-old man, reeking of Icy Hot for his creaky bones, was making another run for men’s league glory, and we won. As a reward, a young Ricky gifted me a life-size lookalike of myself. This may be considered the single greatest NIL deal of all time. Goes to show that even mediocre effort can lead to oh sweet perks. Later that week, we took a trip to Little Bear Bottoms to ta...

 hey chat, week 2 is here on Saturday I got to sleep in hehe, and went to high fit AND yoga. High fit good! yoga bad. and then went to hyrum reservoir with Maggie and other Rachel. after that I did laundry at Maggies and then drove down to Farmington to get Remi and take Tyler and kya to the airport.  Sunday I woke up and almost missed church bc I thought that 9 am church meant I could sleep until 9 and leave at 9:40 to get there by 10. Thank goodness I processed all this before falling back to sleep. so went to church in bountiful. then I hung out with Remi until the YSA devotional, which was SO GOOD. ik y'all aren't single anymore but you should go listen to the whole thing, the speakers and songs were so so good.  Monday I woke up at 5:45 for my TRIATHALONNNN. it was super chill, I went with my friends and we did the swimming together and biking, which is why it took a bit longer. then for the running part I decided to go off on my own hehe. I beat a lot of people in m...
