I love touting my opinion on these blog posts. I love taking all the passionate anger the urks my soul and spitting it randomnly in these posts.

But, since I have deleted my Facebook, I would like to add update posts on here as to what has been happening in my life. Some crazy big changes have recently happened. First off, I bought an iphone. I'm so glad I deleted my Facebook weeks before I bought the phone. I don't have to worry as much about being so involved with technology that it detracts from all the greater things in life.

I did download Instagram but I mostly just use it to take cool pictures, not talk to network. Isn't my husband sexy? I love seeing tools in his hands. Our cats adorable too. Did I mention that I bought a cat? I guess that is a post for another day.

I mostly bought the phone so that I could use the recording software on there for when I start doing interviews for the thesis I've been working on. I can't believe the masters will be done in April. Its going way too fast, but I'm actually really enjoying this semester. I get to research Kennedy's death and read primary source documents.

I also get to start applying for PhD programs. I don't actually think I'll get in, especially since I'm only applying for two--University of Utah and University of Maryland--but who knows. I retake the GRE next month. I've already started studying. I think I may teach college some day. I'm not for certain, but I  hear that mothers with a background in higher education do a great job raising children--we'll have to see about that in a few years.

Brandon is going to enroll at SLCC in January and start a full course load. We're pretty excited about it. We're both currently doing a lot of studying and brushing up on things.

Marriage has really been great the past few weeks. I think I finally understand why people do it. Its great to be loved and love.

We'll have another temporary addition to the family in a couple weeks. Emily, my 18-year-old sister, is coming to live with us till Christmas. As you may already know, Sam, my 16-year-old little brother, came and stayed with us this summer and that was enjoyable, so we are looking forward to doing it again.

Those are our update. Some big things are coming up and we'll see where they take us!
