Well, our semester is over a quarter finished, and we're just plugging away at our last semester of school. I'm getting a serious case of "Senioritis," even though I don't think you technically call me a "Senior..." I just can't wait to be done! Frankly, if I can help it, I am never going back to school and I'm officially done with this madness.
Ok, that's a lie. I suppose someday (not soon) I will return to school once more for my doctorate... IF it's financially feasible and I can do it very slowly. But for the next five years, I'm definitely oh-so-done with school.
On the other hand, I'm not sure if Jordan's fully realized this is his last semester. He is quite happy and content in his classes; the truth is I'm not sure if he's ready to part with BYU quite yet. He loves this school so much. I've appreciated feeding off his enthusiasm for the last few years. Who knew school spirit could be so much fun?
Next weekend we're headed to Boise where my uncle Dennis and his wife Beth and their four girls (Anna, Megan, Emma and Evelyn) will be sealed in the Boise temple! I'm so happy for them, and I'm excited that I can witness something so special. The same day, my mom, Robin, Melanie, Elyse and baby Liam are flying down to take Robin into the MTC! So that weekend we'll hang out with them, and then they're headed to Provo with us before Robin goes in on Wednesday. So excited! I love it when my family visits. Seeing Elyse and Liam is such a treat for me, they're always so different after just 4 months apart. I can't believe how fast they're growing up!
Other than that, the job search continues. No interviews yet. Maybe soon? I hope so. That being said, I don't feel any major anxiety yet. I hope Jordan gets a job, but if the job market is just too tough, we'll manage. In a situation like this, where we've done everything we can and explored all of our options (and we're continuing to explore them all), we just need to put our faith in the Lord. This doesn't mean that a job will magically fall into our laps, or that we should relax our efforts, or that we will for sure get a job. It does mean that we have faith that whether or not Jordan finds one, Heavenly Father has our best interest at heart. He knows what lies ahead of us, even if we don't.

Halloween and Concerts
Halloween was a laid back affair here in Provo for us. At first I thought I might want to go to some haunted corn maze or pirate ride (both real things to do here in Utah County), but as the evening wore on I decided that I was offically old and I wanted to stay in the apartment, order some pizza (some really GOOD pizza), watch Coraline and play board games with my husband. It was an all around success, I should say. Coraline was pleasantly creepy, the pizza was amazing, and I won the board game! (I should note: I hardly ever win games). We got a couple of trick-or-treaters (I tried to give out huge handfuls of candy to get ride of it all... I think we were popular), and overall it was a wonderfully pleasant experience.
Jordan had a concert last night, which was really fun to attend. I finally got to see the infamous Gilbert and Sullivan set, which was funnier than I had even imagined possible! Ok, Ok... I mean, really, how cute is Jordan dressed up as a pirate, dancing around proposing to girls, doing a strait-legged walk and finally wearing a police cap and a shaking nightstick? I mean, really, people, it was utterly adorable. Choralography with a choir of 180 men is probably the sweetest thing to see in life.
Other than that I've been losing steam in school. Jordan's doing great! He's on top of all his classes, he seems to enjoy work for the most part (if nothing else his employer seems to love him... to death... Jordan comes out of every meeting completely confused at the love this employer has for him), and generally tends to be a happy camper. Me? Well, Music of the 20th Century is probably going to do me in. It's weird, about half way through every semester I have to ask myself: Do I even like singing this much? My self-esteem seems to really be suffering... but alas, I suppose it's too late to back out now. I guess I'll just have to write those three 15 page papers...
Overall, though, life is content. Jordan and I are still trying to decide what we're going to do for Thanksgiving, but I think I've convinced him to drive to Missouri... more on this next week!
