Bahaya: October 2012

I decided to finally post something! We have been busy and we have not developed the habit of updating our blog. Sad thing is...it is not a priority, but I want it to be one day. I just have to get past the "I don't like writing all the time." Then again, I love reading everyone's posts, so I hope everyone else somehow thinks it will be enjoyable to read mine. However, I am beginning to think differently in the sense writing a blog should be fun and enjoyable--not a burden. It is not some paper for class that is due in a few days that I have not started. I don't always do that, but it happens more often than it should.

Anyways, Colby and I are great! We just celebrated (not really celebrated, but it was still a day to remember, especially as a newly wed) our one and a half year anniversary! October 9th, 2012. Colby surprised me with red roses. He is so sweet. I can't believe how time flies. It just seems to float right over our heads so quickly. Now back to updates! Colby and I are now at BYU in Provo. We live in Orem and get to drive to school together every day. I love spending this time with Colby. I know when we have a family and get jobs that we won't have some of these simple moments together with just us. And then when we get to school I get to see him for lunch. Colby is getting his master's in Geology and grad students get there own office area. It is quite nice. Its actually really nice for me because everyday at lunch I get to see my husband. For me, I am now getting my bachelor's degree in Human Development. I get to study family and children everyday. I love my classes and I am learning a lot about the most important thing...becoming a mom. However, I plan to get my master's in Social Work and become certified to be a play therapist for abused and neglected children. After my immediate family adopted three children through foster care I learned about play therapy and the importance that it plays for crucial development during childhood. Not only can I focus my attention of being a mom someday, but I can help other children who, unfortunately, don't get that special love and care from their parents.

In two years we will finish our degrees and be on our next adventure...which no ones know where that is yet. Currently, Colby is interviewing for internships and waiting for a call for an internship. This is crucial for his field and we pray that everything will follow through so we can take the next big step of having a regular job with a regular income. That would be nice. :) So pray with us!

We are adjusting to Utah and enjoy it, but we really miss Rexburg and the small town feel. Sunday dinners were the best in Rexburg with Greg, Nancy, and the gang! We will always miss those times. But Utah is still fun and I will show some pictures of all the great and beautiful things we have done. However, we really enjoy having a lot of family nearby.

Also, we have a wonderful apartment and are enjoying our extra space and amenities. We welcome family and friends to stay with us whenever! We would love to have you over! Grandma and Grandpa Sager stayed with us over General Conference weekend and it was great to see them. Speaking of General Conference it was amazing and I am so happy to hear from prophets in our day and to learn "line, upon line," just a little bit at a time.

Right now, we hope you have enjoyed this little endeavor and we hope you will join us next time (whenever that will be)!

Here are some of the highlights of the year:

Colby turns 26 years old! I have a video, but I don't know how to upload it, yet.
