And so it begins..

Welp, here we are. The last night of our seven week break. Summer time is officially over. Fall is officially kicking in, and I am officially NOT ready to go back to another semester of school. It literally seems like forever since I have been on campus for classes, and it has. Last semester I took online classes, and ended up hating it because I was so bored after work. So this semester I work from 8-11 (same as last semester) and I will be taking four classes, a total of 12 credits. Two online and two on campus. I am really excited for some of my classes though. But we will see how I feel about that in a couple weeks! haha Tyson is taking 12 credits also, but six classes. As well as taking on two part time jobs. He is still going to be working in Idaho Falls at his normal job on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then on the other days, he will be working on campus in the event services where he has worked in the past.

It wil be a huge change for the both of us this semester because there will be very little times when we will be seeing each other during the day, but the evenings will be filled with lots of homework time sitting next to each other on the couch :)

This weekend we went to Island Park with some of our good friends and just hung out in a cabin, went to YellowStone, had some fires and watched a lot of Big Bang Theory and enjoyed being out of Rexburg! None of us wanted to come back because we knew how hectic this week and these next couple months are going to be. But even though I am nervous about what is to come this semester, I am also excited for meeting new people, enjoying the beautiful fall weather, spending time with my husband and our dog, and just enjoy the things that Heavenly Father has blessed us with!

Just a little side update on our little guy. We've had Thor for five weeks today. Crazy huh? He is getting bigger each day. He is learning new tricks quickly and he is showing us how smart he is all the time! He is officially potty trained (except for the accident he had today, but we weren't paying attention to him so it's out fault). He goes to the door and scratches at it when he needs to go out, and he is slowly but surely becoming more kennel trained. He still barks sometimes, but no one can hear him, so it's okay! He are still enjoying having him as part of our family and love the lessons he has been teaching us. He has definitely taught me a lot more patience as well as Tyson.

Well, I think that is it for now. More updates will be in the near future! But for now, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and has a safe week! Oh and the weather is supposed to be AMAZING this week...so all you floridians...be jealous ;)

Labor day weekend!

 This has to be one of the best labor day weekends I have ever had. We started it off by going to the Playmill in Yellowstone with the fam( the playmill is a place where they put on little plays and they are hilarious!) It was my first time going and I seriously want to go all the time now because it was so good! Then we hung out on saturday and went to a movie with some friends and enjoyed the wonderful thunderstorms that came through! Sunday was church as usual, and then today we went to the good ole Idaho State Fair! It was awesome. I loved it. Got to eat lots of not so good things for me, but they were delicious so I ate them anyways. But its okay cause you only eat that way once a year right? ;)

The people watching was the best. It almost beats the people in the fairs down in Florida! But the weather here definitely is kicking Florida's butt. I am LOVING this fall weather that is starting to peek out. The nights are becoming so very nice and we are taking full advantage of every second of it because the summer was stinking hot.

Anyways, I have already started decorating for fall. I must say, I think because I have my own place I have gotten into wanting to decorate for everything and make our house cute:) Guess it's what happens when you get married!

More work for us Clark's this week, and then we are taking a mini vacation with our wonderful neighbors to Island Park to stay in a cabin for the weekend, just for one more fun thing before we start school again on monday. (boooooooo!)  We aren't super stoked about starting this semester because Tyson and I will hardly see each other except for dinner every night. ( I know were married and we live with each other, but still, it would be nice to at least see each other for five minutes during the day).

Anyways, that;s really all we have for an update right now. More pictures and posts are to come after this weekend! Hope ya'll had a wonderful labor day! :)
