It's Been a Long Time!

Hey Everybody! It's been a while. We apologize for the lack of blogs, we have just been so busy and to be honest, we haven't accustomed to this whole blogging world. So just a brief update. Lara and I both had a pretty intense semester. I just wrapped up the Jr. Core in the accounting program, which is BYU's equivalent of hell. Nonetheless, I learned a lot and I'm glad to have completed it. I'm waiting to hear back this week whether or not I got into the MAcc (Master of Accountancy) program. If I do I guess you can say I'll be a MAcc daddy! Lara had just as rough a go at things in school taking 15 credit hours and working 30 hours a week in Salt Lake. She's a saint! We were glad when this last semester ended although we didn't do the best job of scheduling. I finished finals when Lara started hers and I started a Spring Term when Lara finished her Winter term, now we are both up to our heads in school again. I'm taking PHIL 110 to finish up generals and am learning all the things I don't know (it's not a good feeling if you haven't ever taken a Philosophy class before, I don't recommend it.) Lara's taking a plethora of classes including Air Traffic Control (long story you'll have to ask her about that one...)

So as far as other news, Lara just got called to the Relief Society Presidency in our ward, which topped her plate! She cried when she got the call, but she is perfect for the job. I just found out that I got accepted to PwC's National Leadership Adventure. It's a week long recruiting event that the firm picks 200 students in the nation to go spend a week in Chicago and learn about the firm and develop leadership schools, it will be pretty exciting, I head out there in July. Lara unfortunately won't be able to go with me, but we booked instead a trip to California for an extended week and can't wait to take a break from the madness and get out of the bubble. Anywho that's about all the news I can think of. Keep in touch, and if anyone has any blogging advice let us know!
