No more wisdom!

About 4 years ago, I was told by my dentist that it would be wise to get my wisdom teeth out soon. Of course, that scared the socks off of me, and never made the commitment. My teeth have been bothering me off and on, but never enough to convince me to take the plunge. Since we are moving in December, I will no longer have my dental insurance through work. There is also a 2 week brake in October for Spud Harvest, which means no school. So I thought it would be a good idea for me to get my teeth taken out during that break. I went to the dentist for a consultation, and he said all 4 need to come out. I then made an appointment for Oct 11. A few days later, my mouth started hurting worse then ever. I have been icing my mouth, and taking major pain meds. It seems like it was perfect timing. If it wasn't for the pain, I probably would wait another 4 years to get them out. I am deathly afraid, and get sick to my stomach just thinking about it. But, soon I'll be pain free. YEAH!!!

Starting School

Daniel started school again this week. I don't think he is as excited as I am for him to start. Him starting, means that he is one step closer to finishing and graduating. This will be his last semester at BYU-I, and then we get to move on with our lives. So of course I am really excited for him to be in school again, but naturally he doesn't share my enthusiasm. He has to study longer then the average person to get a good grade, and try harder then normal when studying. So I feel bad for him, but I can't hide my excitement, hence the countdown to his graduation. YEAH!!!

Bad Golfer

The other day, Daniel was in the kitchen when he heard a bang on the kitchen window. We looked outside, and our neighbor was playing golf, and had hit our window. He obviously isn't very good. It was kinda funny, and thankfully, there was no damage. But we caught him in action, just incase!!

Eastern Idaho State Fair

We went to she State Fair today, and had an absolute blast. We went on some rides, and ate some amazing food. It was only the second time i have ever gone to any state fair, and after this one, I think it's going to be a regular event.

I convinced Daniel to ride a mechanical bull, and i was really impressed. He stayed longer then I thought he would. We saw some amazing quilts. It felt like a challenge for me to do something like that, but the thought alone scares me.
There was this one horse that we saw that had 2 different colors in his mane. I had never seen anything like it, and thought it was really interesting.

It was a really good day!

Chris coming to BYU-I

Chris arrived yesturday. He got of his mission a few months ago, and now is coming back to BYU-Idaho. I was so excited to see him. He is my best friend. When he got here, he only arrived with one suitcase. Can you believe it? So we went straight to the store to go shopping. It was hard, because he acted like he didn't need anything, and it drove me crazy. But there isn't much I can do. I'm just so happy he is here.

Mr & Mrs Potatoe Head

Daniel and I were a little bored the other day, and we came up with the idea of making potatoe head chins. What other explination is needed?

Broken Toe

I didn't know this until I married Daniel, but I have 2 toes on my foot that bend the wrong way. It's really weird looking, but Daniel just loves it. He has this thing about twisting and bending my toes all kinds of ways. He calls them my broken toes, although they never have been broken. It's actually kinda funny.

Pears

The other day, Daniel's cousin called to let us know that she had some pears if we wanted to come over and get some. She had gone to Washington to visit their grandparents, and had picked a bunch of pears to bring back. I guess they had a little to much then they thought they could handle, and we were happy to take some of their hands. I just didn't realize it was going to be this much.

I've always been afraid of eating pears. I've had some bad experiences where they were just awful. But these pears - they are the best I have ever tasted, and although I've eaten plenty already, we've hardly made a dent. It looks like some serious canning is in our future.
