Fall Updates

So I haven't blogged in eons. Sometimes it's hard to think big, exciting things are happening when you're just going to school, working too much, living at home.... but things actually do happen when I think about it. If not to me, to people close to me at least.

The following is a list of EXCITING, BIG things that have happened as of late:

• The week before Fall Break I had four tests (and several papers, but thats a trivial detail).... the good news though? I aced them all! Wahoo.
• I FINALLY bought a car. I drove my '98 Mazda Millenia S home last week. Classy, right? The car had great reviews for older cars though and I paid cash so that was nice. Unfortunately the check engine light came on the other day so I'll have to look into that, but for now it still drives!
• Andrew's soccer team won Regionals so they get to play Nationals (AGAIN) in California this summer. My Dad wants me to audition for Disneyland next summer so they can have just one big trip. Views?
• Andrew also has his Court of Honor tonight! It's about freakin time. Good job Mom.
• Adam turned eight on October 19th so he's getting baptized on Saturday, November 1st. My mom asked him who he wanted to baptize him and he said he didn't know because he has soo many choices. I guess with a Dad and four older brothers who could all do it, its gotta be pretty tough. He's excited though
• My amazing, beautiful, hilarious, love-her-to-bits-and-pieces cousin Rebecca Naylor called me the other day and left a great message. "you are so beaut-a-ful to meeeeeeee. Helllloo there! Okay you are weyrd. Well La-ci! I was just calling to catch up on things, see how your life is, hows school, what job you got, how's your house, any boys, no boys? Girls rock. So, umm... I'm engaged. Uh, call me back. Okay, bye" Rather anticlimatic for such big news. I seriously screamed when I listened to her message. She's getting married January 2nd and I'm so happy for her. Strange my little cousin is getting married, but even when we were little people thought she was older. She's always been taller. She'll be the most incredible wife out there. Dallin Homer is a lucky man.
• My best friend, Sara, is doing a study abroad in England this semester so, without long distant cell phones, we've become master emailers. But the other day her boyfriend, Taylor called and let me borrow his mac so I could talk to her face-to-face (kinda) via ichat. Thanks Taylor! It was good to see her cute face and hear the tone of voice in the conversation.
• Just this very day I gained an appreciation for the Singles Ward. I went to my family ward Primary program today (which was excellent), but I don't think I've visited that ward without at least one person, usually more, asking me if I'm dating anyone seriously and wanting to line me up. Which, you know, is fine and everything... but ugh. I'm glad it's not like that at the Singles Ward because we are all in the same boat, more or less.

Alright, that list kind of strayed. So maybe its more just a list of things I've thought about lately. Or something. I don't know. It's just a list of Fall updates. By the way, I love Fall! There's little better than Fall. With good friends. And Canyons. Love Utah.
