My mom, Grandma, and I canned 70 quarts! (This wasn't all of them) It was a lot of work, but it will be nice to enjoy them all year!

"Peaches come from a can..."
Just a fraction of the peaches we canned recently.

Labor Day Weekend
Sadly, this is the only picture I have from the weekend, but we had a blast. Our weekend included:
- Rocky Mountain Raceway (probably the funniest thing I've ever seen)
- Games with family
- The first fresh peach pie of the season- straight from my M&D's tree!
- Bee's game with the Wariner's
- Dinner at Wingers
- Yogotogo
- Movie night with Danny
Needless to say, it was a great weekend!

We'll miss you!
Today Nicki left to teach English in France for the next 8ish months. I'd give anything to go visit her. Why do all my siblings have to leave?Monday, August 30, 2010
Back to school
I never thought I'd say this, but this is the first time I've felt jealous of everyone heading back to school.
I feel like my entire college experience has been a waste of time. I have enough AP and college credits to be a senior but I don't even have an associate's degree.
My first year at BYU I had no Idea what I was doing. I didn't have any guidance or advice when registering for classes so I had an extremely heavy load including economics (with 850 people in the class), geography, physics, business, and comparative politics. I thought I wanted to go to law school, but that first year really burned me out. I was also working 40+ hours a week and teaching gospel doctrine. It was really a bummer because I had wanted to go to BYU my whole life and that year really spoiled it for me.
I dropped out 3 weeks into my second year when Danny and I decided to get married because he was going to school at Weber State. I went back to school the following year, but since I was working full time and busy I took all online classes, hard classes, and we did't even have the Internet! I had decided to get a business associate degree and so I took the classes to fulfill that path. 2 years later I decided to just get a generic associates so a lot of those classes were a waste, but I just wanted to get my associates so that all of my hard work wouldn't go to waste, and I was about to have Caydence. This is when I finally went to talk to a counselor and they told me I had ONE class left to graduate! It is a computer class that everyone is required to take that teaches you about excel, power point, etc.
That was almost 3 years ago and I still haven't taken the class. I looked into it once and it was going to cost me $700 for that one class! The kicker is that I can test out of the class for $50 but I am so computer illiterate that I am too afraid to take it! Stupid, I know.
I see all the people my age getting masters degrees and "real jobs" and I feel so left behind. One day I will finish. I want to so bad! But for now I'm happy to have Caydence and Danny to fill the void.
