This is for you Hannah!

So, my sister Hannah has been complaining that I haven't been posting. Number one, I haven't had the internet for a long time, and two, I have a thousand pictures to post, but I suppose that I should write something every once in a while. I am just glad that someone checks my blog. Thanks, Hannah.

I have been home from Guatemala for over a week. I am so happy to be home with Seth. Right now, I am taking a break from school and work to fix up my house (unpack, paint, and decorate, etc.), and to try to get healthy and strong. I also have to have a tooth implant to replace a molar, and possibly an oral surgery to remove a wisdom tooth located in my jaw. Basically, my mouth is messed up. Thank Heaven for dental insurance! Yay for Seth!

We love our new ward. They have been so welcoming to us. I already know half the women in my ward because they have all come up to talk to me. I already have friends, and don't feel alone. It is great. And a couple gave us their couch, so now we have something to sit on. Yay!

I think one of the best parts of our house is that it has a wood burning fireplace. We have really enjoy roasting marshmallows to make s'mores on our couch in our very own living room. Sometimes, it is fun to be a grown-up! You can stay up as late as you want and eat s'mores on your couch while watching 'Return to Me' with your husband. That is my kind of date. And it is free because Cleveland Heights has the best libraries in the world. They are huge! You can check out 75 items at a time. I don't know why you'd want to, but you can. And so we may never rent a movie again. Why pay when the library's free? Only if you're crazy.

We live in the prettiest street. Every street has a canopy of huge, old trees. All the houses are different. They are mostly all gigantic (except for ours) and all at least 75 years old. I love our town for the libraries, and all the fun parks. I got to go to the tire park right by my house with my nephew Hyrum, and Christy, his grandma. It is a park made of a hundred something tires. It is awesome. Just down the block there are a bunch of quaint little restaurants and movie theatres and overpriced grocery stores. But the gas is $3.35 here, and that is pretty darn good. I am happy with my life. "It is the best!" - Nacho Libre
