Oh goodness... where do I begin?? Well, it's been a little bit crazy for us these last few weeks. I am still loving teaching (even more than before... I really truly love it now.... the kids are too cute and I laugh pretty hard at least once a day). Joseph is SOoOoO busy with school!!! But he's such a trooper and is working so hard to fit so many things into each and every day.
For those of you who haven't heard, we just wanted to let you know (since we had announced it and mostly to save anyone from asking and feeling bad after we tell you) but a couple weeks ago I had a miscarriage. It was a very eventful Saturday night with contractions, labor pains, a trip to the ER, Joseph getting the flu, and finally arriving home at 4:30 am on Sunday. However, even when life gets crazy, the Lord CONTINUES to POUR out blessings upon us. With both of our families not living IN Provo, we thought we'd have to take care of ourselves for a few days until we got better (or at least until I got better... Joseph went to school Monday morning.) But we have some of the most amazing people in our ward and David and Aleasha (who made an AMAZING meal) and my Aunt who did a HUGE favor for me Sunday!!! (Thank you Kara!!!) We had SOOO many meals brought to us and so many kind deeds done for us. It was such a huge blessing and such a wonderful reminder of how service blesses peoples' lives. (I need to be much better at it!!)
Things are pretty much back to normal now. Joseph is SUPER busy with school and work but we're hoping that will soon change. We LIVE for Saturdays (well, I live for Saturdays) for football games and spending time with each other!!! (Speaking of football games, last Saturday we went to the UNLV game and after the game, we got to eat at the Cannon Center!!! HEAVEN!! I'm tellin ya... I HATED that place as a freshman, but they've built a new one and it's like a palace!!! And when you're married... all the food you can eat for FREE is amazing!!! Thanks Jarelle for letting us use your card, and David and Aleasha for taking us!! We love you guys and are so grateful we have you here so close!! :))
Anyway, so Saturdays with Joseph... It's so fun to actually see each other and spend the day together! :) Last weekend we saw "Journey to the Center of the Earth" with David and Aleasha. Joseph's dad had told us it was "REALLY good" so we went to see it at the Dollar Theater. We were kind of laughing at the cheesiness and wondering why the Campbells thought it was so good??... It was about halfway through the movie when I remembered they had seen it in 3-D. HAHA No wonder they thought it was so cool?! :) We were just in squeaky seats watching the flat screen! But nonetheless, it was a night out and those are ALWAYS enjoyed no matter what! :)
We're looking forward to Halloween on Friday!! Third grade is going to be a blast on Friday!! Elementary Halloween Parties!- You remember!?- the BEST! :) Joseph and I will finally be carving pumpkins THAT night and we're definately excited for that! Saturday we'll be watching BYU destroy (we hope) Colorado!! Go Cougs!
Oh and one last bit of good news... for those of you who DO know my brother Mitch, or are just interested in seeing an AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL mission in the West Indies... check out this slideshow his mission pres.'s wife put together! He's in it a ton!! So fun!!

Love y'all!
