Halloween fun!

Kyle and I carved pumpkins, meaning he dug out the insides and I did all the rest of the work. We started a tradition last year, which came about because on the day of Halloween, we had a double date with some friends to carve pumpkins. Kyle went pumpkin shopping, but there were no more pumpkins, anywhere! So he bought a bambino watermelon instead. This is our watermelon from last year:

And this is our watermelon for this year:


Aren't they cute!

We also carved a pumpkin, you know, to at least be a little bit normal.


Kyle and I also dressed in costume for church. Don't worry. We both wore conservative suits and went to church as a General Authority couple. We're so creative.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Faces

Today I saw boys who looked like Orlando Bloom, Jim Carrey, and Rocky Balboa.

Yes, statistics professor, BYU is a representative sample of the population.

EDIT: so the girls don't feel left out, I saw a Barbra Streisand and a Cate Blanchett with brown hair and freckles.

Unappreciated Optimism

At work today, I don't think the psychiatrist appreciated my comment when she said a patient was driving her crazy.

"Well at least you're in the right place!"

Happy Friday :)

Feeling like a rockstar

This has been such a good week. On Wednesday night I did the open mic night for HumorU and totally rocked it! I was super nervous my jokes wouldn't go over well, so I went into it just hoping someone would laugh. And they did! The guys in the club especially enjoyed the aside I made about my husband ("He thinks he's some sort of comedian or something"). (For those who don't know, my husband is in the club, and he's adorable. Here's some videos of him.) So that was really good. I mean, it wasn't perfect. No one really got my pizza delivery guy joke, but that's ok. I was one vote away from getting a callback! That's definitely better than I expected!

Then when I finished and printed out my statistics homework last night (more than 12 hours before it was due, I'll have you know), Kyle just stood in awe that I could create and understand equations that he couldn't even read! That made me feel super smart :)

This morning I got my stats homework back from last week and I got 100%! (The average in my lab was 70%.) I'm totally rocking my hardest class!

What a way to go into a weekend :D

First day of school!

Thanks to my mother, I'm continuing the tradition of first-day-of-school pictures. Even if we were late, we'd be outside in the chill California air getting photos with our new school outfits. This year was no exception--except that we weren't late and are too poor for new outfits.

Here's Kyle:



and Katie:




Yay school!

So this isn't exactly from a year ago but it's close enough.

One year later, ward camping trip and hike to a waterfall.


Boy, we look older.

Dear Husband,

I wish you had a Facebook so I could stalk you. Happy two months :)

Love, your Wife
