The Last Start

This is our last semester at BYU. It is bittersweet. I am so excited that Colby has this one last semester, but so sad that this means I will be saying goodbye. Although I dreaded the early morning traffics jams, the afternoon traffic, oh, and evening traffic jams, I will still miss the close drive for rock climbing, biking, BBQ's, beautiful waterfalls, fishing, lakes, and family.  I am going to miss all of it. However, new adventures of green grass, buying a house, having kids, being with friends, and the smell of oil await us in Texas! Of course we won't have the mountains, but where we are going still has much to offer and I am sure once it is time to move from Texas (which won't be for a long time) it too will be bittersweet.

We have lots to do before we leave! Hiking trips, fishing trips, biking, mountain climbing, and visiting family is all we have planned and more. Oh, and finishing a thesis, that's probably the most important :) And to start off our great semester we went to Ogden and Logan, Utah. We spent the weekend remembering what's important in life - family. We had one of the greatest opportunities to see a family so in love get sealed for time and all eternity in the House of the Lord, the temple. For my friends that are not Mormon you are welcome to watch this short video here explaining the significance and blessings we receive from attending the temple.

Colby's sister, Sierra, surprised us when  we got to Logan. She said she was not able to make it to the sealing because she recently had a baby, but she was there and we were able to meet Baby Hallie. 

Grandpa and Grandma Sager stayed the night with us in Orem before heading up to Logan!

The Boys! 

Great grandpa with the babies. They liked his ears. :) 

Baby Miri! 

Baby Maysa - the pic tells it all! 

Saying goodbye to Sierra! I am going to miss her all the way in Oregon. 

Brother and Sister!
