Excuses, but good ones!

I forgot I even had a blog this fall! First part of September, Chris was called as bishop of the Grand Junction 6th ward. Needless to say, we feel blessed and definitely cherish every moment he's home. He's still traveling for work quite often as well. At the end of September, I had major surgery. I was amazingly lucky to have two of my amazing sisters come and be me for a few days. They cooked 28 freezer meals and kept things on track while I couldn't. I took ten days off of school and went right back. It's been hard, but I feel *almost* normal now- just tired. So...life has been crazy, but we are plugging along! We've celebrated three birthdays- Chris turned 36 9-11, and Conner became a teenager on 10-10-11. Bryce turned 9 last week. We have Alex and Benson's 5th birthday next Sunday- so hard to believe! Susanna is turning 7 in December. So, I just have those birthdays, finals, and Christmas to survive in the next month. Then I might be able to update more.
