Hey. I just installed a countdown link. Madison and Brooklyn...you guys now can just click on that link to see how much longer until Nan flies into Canada! Yay! Love you guys. I am glad that I got to talk to you today.

Abby, Kate, Easton, and Braxton

Here are some pictures of the grandkids back home. They look pretty silly. They sure do miss you guys. Abby and Kate always ask about Maddie and Bwookwin! Easton is always complaining that he would have a lot more fun with Madison and Brooklyn here. He misses Halle too! Braxton told me the other day that he was going to learn how to ski and that he was going to be a daredevil and go off a jump! Well, that is just about it. 80 more days!!! Only 80. Love you! Hugs and Kisses. Leave comments if you want me to tell any of the kids something, I can relay the message to them. XOXOXOXOXO

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!!!!!
