Mathematics...I think I'm in love!!!

Here Madison, isn't a beauty?? Better start memorizing and making flash cards. Maybe Nan will bring up those twist string multiplication games that Grandma has at her house. I love you monkey face. I am so proud of you and Brooklyn. I am glad that you guys are both enjoying school. It is so important.

This is my arm after the removal of my lump. It looked a lot worse a couple of days after this. It started to bruise yellow and it was all gross for a little while. The bruise is starting to go away. I can take off that glue stuff that they put on top of my stiches. He stiched inside, they will eventually go away. Anyway, I am glad that my lump is gone!

Here is it again. This isn't a very good picture.

This is the Talmage Building. This is where I have all of my math classes. I am here all the time!!!

TRAVIS, I thought that you would like to know that BYU recycles, not only newspaper for they have places that you can drop things off. It is not as of extensive as in Canada, but all the same. They are at least trying.

Here are some pretty flowers. They have beatiful gardens everywhere on campus. I love it!

This is the Y!!! Yah! GO BYU. It is funny that I am a cougar again. I was in elementary too.

Well, I have to go to my Statistics class. Don't you worry. I'll have fun. I got to hear President Hinckley speak at our Tuesday devotional today. He is so cute! I truly love him and respect him. Talk to you soon. Sorry Madison that I didn't have this posted last night. I fell asleep writing this. XOXOXOXO MISSING YOU TONS BUXTONS!!!!!

*-*-*-*106 DAYS*-*-*-*

I was just randomly looking through my picutres on my computer and I saw this pictures and the other pictures of the gingerbread houses that we made last christmas. I got really excited about my next trip to Halifax. Now, don't laugh...because this pretty funny. I was thinking about each of you guys up there in the land far far away and what I would do with each of you, then I realized that there would be another person...I never had really thought of the baby actually being there. I know that seems dumb, but it shocked me. It was like I finally realized that Beckey was actually going to have another baby, not just be pregnant! Well, my first week at BYU has been really fun and interesting. I think and hope that I will like my classes. I have so far. I probably estimate that I am going to be really busy this semester. The Math Education program here is really great! I have had only excellent experiences with the chairman of the Math Ed department and the instructors. I love it here. My job has been really great, there is a lot to learn, but I like it. I also like the people that I work with. Haha...everyone told me that I would be dating someone within the first few weeks of living here...you were WRONG SUCKERS!!! I haven't been on a real date since March or something. I think it may go for a little bit longer. I have this really weird bump on my arm. If you actually look at my arm you can't see it, but when you feel it...it's HUGE!!! I don't know how long it has been there. Mom says that it is a swollen limph node. I am going to have her look at it when I go home tonight. Tomorrow is another one of those days where I will linger in the midst of Pediatric Dentistry! LOL. Well...gotta go. I should really start on some homework; I've have oodles to do! (-Smithers). LOVE YOU MY GIRLIES...I MISS YOU! I, of course, miss you too Beckey and Travis! Talk to you soon.
