We had a wonderful thanksgiving with some friends in the ward and their family. Here is the beautiful turkey. It was so very delicious and not a bit dry.

Less than two weeks!
13 days until my show opens at the Spori Gallery here on campus! I am so excited but so nervous. Today was spent printing everything. Tomorrow will be spent framing everything. And then I have a photoshoot! Very exciting.
Life here hasn't been all that interesting lately. Ben and I spend most of our days at school and then we eat and go to sleep. Weekends are spent cleaning and doing laundry and doing homework. I cannot wait to get out of school, work on my State Farm license, and finally be a good wife! I can't wait until Ben and I can both go to work all day and then come home and not worry about it until the next day. I can't wait to have a clean house that isn't oozing with bookarts tools and dirty dishes. I can't wait until we move into a more permanent residence so that i won't feel dumb about decorating. Pretty much, I can't wait to move on to the next big adventure :)
Many of you might remember the little car chaos Ben and I had a few weeks ago. The first week of school Ben's car got hit while Ben was sitting at a red light. Dumb? I know. So pretty much it was totalled. And the guy's insurance took forever to contact us and like a week to get us a rental. So after finally getting a rental they decided to take it away. And then it took them another month and a half to get us a check to get a new car. So we had to walk to school. And you know what? It was actually not that bad. Ben and I grew so close on our long walks home from school. We were able to slow down and talk and it was really rather great. We started counting our blessings: We were both safe, we had great friends to take us shopping, we would eventually be getting a better car, we saved so much on gas, and we really started looking out for eachother a lot. A couple weeks ago we bought a new car! And even though I am so glad we have it now that it is snowing, I'm kinda glad we were without it for a little while.

Just so everyone is aware...
I have a new blog! For by business class we have to show our online portfolio to some potential clients and I wasn't sure I wanted clients reading all about my personal life. It's the perfect time to launch my new blog:
