Jon and I

Well Mom expressed that she had hoped I would give an update on how Jon and I were doing so here it is. Although I fear it may not be too exciting for anyone.
Both of our jobs have been going well. Jon is busy with school. Some classes are better than others for him but he's doing well with them all. Jon was least looking forward to his public speaking class since he, like most of the world hates to speak in public. But he's done a great job. His goal is to get straight A's this semester and he is doing a fanstastic job. I just helped Jon study for a test. Although I didn't understand much of what I was quizing him on, it was fun to study with him and help him out. We studied for two hours and it really went by pretty quickly, at least I thought so. haha Jon's also been thinking a lot of where he wants to go to school when he's done at the business college. We're not exactly sure which school yet, but it's looking like it'll still be in Utah. We'll see though, there is still plenty of time.
Young Women's volleyball is about to begin. Sadly we only had three girls sign up to play out of ward, so we're already combined with two other wards. I wish more girls were interested in playing or that I could figure out how to get them excited about it, but at least the three who do want to play will have a team that won't need to forfeight (at least I hope they won't) every game.
We have a couple of trips planned for the future. We are going to spend a long weekend in October at Yellowstone. Jon has been dying to go there for quite some time. It will be a lot of fun and our first little vacation since our honeymoon. I'm looking forward to it. I have been saving up for a camera lately so I'm hoping that I'll be able to have it in time to use on our trip. We are also going to Arkansas this year for Thanksgiving. We are very excited to go and visit the family. It'll be so nice to see them all again and spend so much time over there. We'll have two weeks to spend with our Arkansas family. I am especially excited to visit a new temple while we're there. We'll all be going to the Memphis temple to do family work. That will be a great time. We'll all have a small road trip together and then get to do the greatest work there is, all as a family. It will be quite different spending Thanksgiving without the Stanger or Bodily family this year. We can hardly wait though.
So besides what I've just told you, there isn't really anything else new. Hopefully this what you were hoping for Mom. Life is wonderful and very much fun. Hope all is well with everyone else.

Glad to hear Jon is doing well in school. How about business school in Minneapolis? Just keep it open. ;)
You might look at BYU. Their business school is ranked #1 (I think it is ranked #1 in a 3-way tie)

And thank you for the family update.

Thanks, sweety for the update. Reading my kid's blogs have become one of my highlights of the day. Please let Jon know we put Carla's name in the temple Thursday and are praying that she conquers this battle.

It's going to be weird this Thanksgiving having us all gone! But it will be fun to be with our in laws! And next year we'll all be together again!
