Harry Potter


So I just finished the 6th Harry Potter book! I tried to read them all over our summer break, but that didn't quite happen. I have to admit that I did not read much my first few years of college, but Harry Potter has renewed my love. It is hard to get yourself to do something for enjoyment, when it is the only thing you are doing for 3-5 hours a day for classes. Harry Potter has a very soft little spot in my heart! I found myself in sacrament meeting imagining the speaker with a wand to his throat like Ludo Bagman projecting his voice, I had to laugh for a second. I wish so bad that it were real. Though that world is not real, I find myself comparing it to our world. There are so many truths, and things to be learned about good and evil. J.K. is a brilliant woman! I am about to start the 7th book right now and get a few chapters in before I go to bed. In a way it makes me a bit sad that I am at the end of my Harry Potter journey. Series are so great! I will just have to find something else intriguing to read next, and someday in the future I will have to snuggle up on the couch with Harry again, and lie there for hours in a world of imagination.

Saturday Morning

Cory and I have been married for about 22 months, and I am just starting our blog. I had one started last September, but I never got it up and going. We just started our Fall semester in Rexburg Idaho, and Fall is definitely in the air. The days are still pretty warm, but the nights are getting really cold!
Today is the first official Saturday of the semester. (since we started on a Thursday, I didn't count the last one) This is my last semester of school YEAH! I am studying Elementary Education, so I still have to do student teaching, but I am going to march at graduation in December. I am going to do my student teaching in Utah though because Cory is transferring to BYU. He is studying Chemical Engineering and they do not offer that here at BUY-Idaho. We are so excited to move in December. It will be a fun new adventure for us, but we will also miss our families very much! Mostly mine because a lot of Cory's family now lives in Utah.
