"by their feet ye shall know them." so spencer sent some pictures of his shoes! wow! can you believe this? anyway, it is always so good to hear from him and to hear how he is doing. i heard from him this week...he is such a great missionary. he said that he weighs 173 now, and that he is getting transferred in about a week. he reallyl is doing great, and is excited for the change, even though he will miss the families that he has gotten so close to.

things with me are good. i really have not had too much of an update because i have been so busy...but really things have been great! school is really kicking my butt, i had 4 papers due this week, a test, and a quiz... "kill me!" just kidding. it is going be really fast, there is just so much to get done. about 95 days. it is so hard to believe. i was talking to my mom the other day, and she says that i sound just like erin. i never thought that i would graduate at the same time as my sister. but its all good, it is kinda fun! last week one of my roommates decided that we needed to date more, and that we were all going to go on a group date saturday. so we all got dates (making 5 couples) and planned it for last saturday. i was not in the planning, and i must say that we all had so much fun. we came to our house where alisa had made some really yummy chinese food. we ate picnic style in our dining room with candles everywhere. then we went on a picture scavenger hunt (planned by heidi) -- for those of you who do not know what that is.... each couple has a list of things that you need to get done...you take a picture doing the task/activity, and then you come back and have a slideshow of all of the pictures that you took! heid was quite creative...we had to do things from bagging someone’s groceries, to trying on the same outfit as a mannequin (standing side by side for the pic), to kissing in a phone booth, going to a cemetery and taking a pic with a gravestone with your first or last name on it, and finally xeroxing your face and then taking a pic of you and the copy of your face! but there were 20 things that we had to do...those are just a few. honestly i have not laughed that hard in such a long time. we watched the slide show and then we split up into whoever just playing games. someone got the great idea to play four square in our dining room... i am not sure, but i am pretty sure that all of our parents would have cringed at adults playing 4 square in the house....to those playing Dr. mario in the room below the 4 square, it sounded like a herd of elephants pounding around up there, and then just laughing. eventually we had banana boats from the oven and banana splits and then we were all downstairs for cards and more Dr. mario. everyone was singing along, (some making up their own words) and mostly laughing at each other. we all had a great time. (: that's about all of the update that i have for today...hope you are all well!
