Busy Busy!

Well holy cow! Seriously, where the heck does the time go? I can't believe September's almost over already. Yikes. Haven't done a post in a while, so it's probably apparent I'm a sporadic journal writer. I thought blogging would help me do better...It's the thought that counts, right?
The past 3 weeks have been a blur for us. David's keeps busy with work. In the last 3 weeks, he's left @ 4:30am, 5:30am, 6ish & 7ish for work, so his internal clock gets thrown for a loop sometimes. I know he's tired a lot, but he'll keep chugging all day even after work with everything else he's doing & doesn't complain a bit. He's amazing! He found out today he might be flying to Idaho next week or the week after to visit a dairy in Boise, so he's stoked! :) He also stays busy w/ Young Mens and volleyball, which he's been doing awesome at! I'm so proud of him!
As for me, I'm definitely in the swing of school again. I've REALLY come to know the meaning of studying. It's seriously all I do! I feel like a book nerd, but you do whatcha gotta do. I have phlebotomy training this week, and I start clinicals so I'm way excited for that. Nuclear medicine is amazing!
David and I have also had some amazing missionary experiences since we've been here in Texas. We always pray for experiences & it seems there's not a week that we don't get to have the missionaries over for some reason or another. So I guess the Lord's answering our prayers. We've been able to participate in discussions with investigators and some new members and it's been awesome! We truly feel like we're in the mission field. We've been able to see 2 women baptized, a man's getting baptized this weekend, and a sweet 72 yr old is getting baptized in Oct. We love our ward missionaries, and we've had a lot of fun with them.
We got to go to the temple in Lubbock last weekend with the youth and loved it. Also, the piano/org duet for Stk Conf and the primary prog are now done with so I can breathe a bit again...for at least a little while, haha!
I did another post below this about our trip to the fair last week...it was great fun. So anyhow, I've been long-winded so sorry. But now everyone can be caught back up with us! We are healthy and happy. Love and miss you all! Until next time...

Ride 'em Cowboy!

David took me to the Tri State Fair & PRCA rodeo last weekend, and we had a blast! It was fun to dress up in our cowboy duds and eat some greasy fair food. We have to admit, the smell of the animals made us nostalgic, haha! We went and ate, walked around checking out the animal barns, went to the rodeo (YEEEHAW!) where we got dirt kicked up on us all night haha (I even found dirt in my pockets that night), then finished off the night with a Luke Bryan concert. We did a lit'l country dancing @ the concert. I loved it! I don't think I've ever seen so many cowboys with a beer in one hand and a big 'ole cheesy corn dog in the other, haha. :) Ahhh, Amarillo! Here's some pictures of our fun night, and a pict of Dave with our ward missionaries. Enjoy!

Where'd The Summer Go?

Well summer is officially over & the weather here in Amarillo fits perfectly as it's windy & chilly today. As per request, we're posting a bunch of picts from our summer adventures down here in Texas. Plus, I'm just trying to figure out how to make a slideshow work on here, haha. Happy September to everyone! (Where the heck does the time go?)
