No Pressure

I want to start this post by letting everyone know I don't have an assignment or calling at church yet.  In spite of this, I was asked on Thursday night to teach today's Young Women joint lesson at church.  The sister who asked me to teach said that they periodically ask members of the congregation to teach the Young Women just for variety's sake.  So I frantically prepared a lesson in the little time I've had since then and went in to teach today.  Little did I know, the entire YW Stake presidency happened to be there, and the Bishop came in about 2 minutes after I started.  I asked him if he had business and he said, no, I just thought I'd sit in Young Women today.

It was very hot in the room, but I probably would've been sweating even if the air conditioner were too cold.

Go Cougs!!!

103-0

One hundred three unanswered points in eight quarters with the second string playing 30% of the time (while still maintaining a shut-out).

This is an exciting time for BYU Football fans.  I just wish that Anatomy and Biochemistry would allow me a chance to really watch a game (although the TCU game will likely be impeded by Histology . . .)  

I wonder what is going through the minds of our opponents and their coaching staff? . . . 

Perhaps the Jacksonville Jaguars can help with this one.

This made me laugh out loud.

My new obsession

I've discovered under all of our interior trim, painted with white acrylic paint, is beautiful cherry stained, oil-varnished wood. Oil and acrylic don't mix, so this stuff comes off with the slightest nick. It doesn't come off that easily where the wood has been chipped, faded, or in corners, but I've found myself a new project anyway! Here is a before and during shot. I'll update you when I have a finished... hopefully I'll be done sometime in October. I might repaint the walls, too.

Orange Sky

I didn't adjust these pictures at all. The sky here has gotten this orange 3 or 4 times that I've noticed since we've been here. These pictures don't even do it justice. It's always right before or after rain, and we've had plenty of rain. It's so cool!
