Falling into winter

Okay, so it's Friday night, the siblings are all at college, and mom & dad are in Ephraim for the weekend to watch Vanessa play in a concert and to also visit Emily. I'm bored out of my mind, and the only productive thing I can think of is to update my blog. I know, I know. It's pitiful. But these kind of weekends have been very few and far between since moving home. However, there is a lot to tell, so here it goes.

The best news I've heard in a long time came a few weeks ago. I got a letter from Utah State University, saying that I've been accepted into the Masters of Accounting program, and can start in January. Although it took longer than I planned it would, I'm happy that I'll be able to continue my education. Only 30 credits stand between me and the CPA exam. I should be done in a year, and get my degree in the Spring of 2011.


Back in September, Lake Point held it's annual fall festival, and that gave me the opportunity to put my new digital camera to use. It's a clone of Stuart's camera, but I really like it. We had the 5k run/walk on the first day, then the parade, games and activities the second day. We had a pretty good turnout, and it was fun to catch up with residents, both current and past.


With the coming of September means birthday galore for our family with four overall, including three in an 8-day span. Lots of cake and ice cream for everyone.


Another favorite of autumn is the change of colors, falling of leaves, and coming of snow. Here are some pictures that capture all of that and more.



Halloween was fun, but I forgot to get a picture of me in my mail carrier uniform. Maybe I'll get some taken during the rest of my free weekend. Stay warm and start preparing for the holidays.
