Unmethodical Happenings

Lots of stuff has been happening in our lives. We have been juggling things around from mid-terms to watching "the office". Melissa life is just completely filled with bedpans, sponge baths, and open ended robes... and it's not because Brady is getting lazy either. She has to complete 230 clinical hours at a hospital this semester. Brady is keeping busy as a full-time student AND employee. Office politics are starting to ware down on him, but he is still going strong at Wells Fargo.
Not too long ago, one of Brady's best friends was visiting Provo. Dave Firmage plays for USU Soccer and they were down here playing BYU. Turns out that BYU has more than just football and basketball... who'd a thunk it!? Unfortunately, USU lost. But it was good to see Dave, his wife Chelsi, and "Mamma Firmage" again.
We also went with Doyle and Chelsea up the canyon for a Sunday Afternoon picnic. The leaves had all changed colors, the weather was perfect, and Melissa made some great eatin's. We walked around to enjoy the nice fall colors. We even ran into Brady's old roommate and long-time friend Eric Volmar. You just can't escape Davis Darts, no matter how hard you try.
We spent last monday night buying Halloween decorations. Brady is a holiday nut and just loves getting into the spirit of whatever holiday is coming up.
Yesterday, we had a very interesting experience. Brady's Aunt went to the temple for the first time to receive her endowment. She has been preparing for it for a while and Brady was able to get work off, so we met up with family at the Salt Lake Temple. It was Melissa's first time to the SLC temple and enjoyed it a lot. It was a wonderful day. We also met up at Mammy and Pappy Morris's house and had some catered BBQ. Yesterday was both a spiritual and physical feast. We had to make a run for it after dinner because no one wants to play "tackle the guy in the shirt and tie" with nephews who didn't actually eat BBQ but rubbed it on their faces. T'was good times.

I would post pics, but blogger is not letting me. Sorry

Those Darts ARE everywhere aren't they? They've even infiltrated our country livin' here in Logan! It was fun to see you guys and we're still looking forward to planning a real "get-together" ... maybe over the holidays. They'll be here before we know it!

Congrats on your crazy nursing schedule, Melissa! Are you in the capstone course then? Those were wonderful days :) Why? you ask. Because the end was in site and you get to look back and realize how much you grew over the semesters. What nursing area do you want to work in?
