This has been a really strange month, I spent five and half hours watching a bunch of zealous lawyers, one of which happened to look like the love child of Patrick Swayzee and a weasel, argue over Wal-Mart at the City Council meeting. We also heard that someone might have shot themselves in our apartment complex. Then, a couple days ago a local man gunned down a mother and son, who were his next door neighbors, a couple streets down from the school I'd been working at this week. Amid all this gloom and doom, we did get some good news; we got ourselves a ticket back to Rexburg, Idaho.
This shouldn't be too shocking to anyone considering Cambra's been accepted for over a month. However, Cambra, on a whim, called BYU-Idaho student housing and we ended up getting the last opening for this semester. We of course took it, especially since he told us that they called two days earlier, without us answering, and moved on without us. Long story short, we now have an awesome place to live across the street from campus and below the soccer fields.
The day following the news of our apartment I went off to work, you know that place where I go and help kids reads and play soccer. When I got home Cambra told me that I had finally been accepted. It was about time, we've been pestering the poor admissions folks for a good month. So we're pumped and only have a six weeks until our momentous return. It'll be good to get reacquainted with the billions of people we know that have moved there. If you're one of our friends that live there, prepare yourselves for some rockin' folk music, bad jokes, hilarious anecdotes and the ugliest mustache that I can grow (Similar to My Name Is Earl); all of which I'm bringing to Rexburg.

Blog Entry #55
Greetings my loyal readers and lunatic fans. I felt like writing a blog and have now begun. Here's what's been goin' on in our neck of the woods.
- We did sharing time today, after remembering that it was our turn 45 minutes before church.
- We finished the journal that we began when we were dating -- expect to see copies on Amazon -- and bought a new journal at my favorite bookstore that was hand-made from leaves and recycled paper. It's pretty much the coolest thing ever.
- We bought about 6 pounds of organic apples and pears because they were on sale, which means the dehydrator's been running like crazy this weekend.
- We finished our exodus without death, sorry I realized that I stopped the tale at one entry;however, most of you who read this know that I'm alive.
- I got a dehydrator for Christmas.
- I've gotten reacquainted with the Beastie Boys.
- I failed my Math class.
- I'm retaking my math class.
- We reapplied to BYU-Idaho.
- Cambra got accepted and I'm still waiting to hear.
- We decided that we'd try to go back to Rexburg.
- I started playing music again.
- I'm currently being called to the living room.
Later, I hope this was exciting for you.
