Well gee golly gosh.

Lately our lives have been insane. Like really I've felt like I should be placed in an insane asylum.

Eating-
Ben and I have been eating like Health nuts for the past two months- though admittedly we've had a rough couple of weeks due to crazy schedules and life. Anyway I challenged myself to no sugar for a month and was incredibly successful! I made lots of muffins-which Ben loved, and we had healthy meals all that month. My body looooved it- but it was a bit difficult. Most of my time was spent cooking and planning good foods but it was worth it. I lost ten pounds which is absurd and fabulous because now I have no clothes to wear...
In other eating news we discovered  The Choc'late Mousse  a Pie Bar. It is truly the most fabulous dessert bar in Provo. You get to choose the filling, crust and toppings to your little wine/martini glass of pie. Really all you need is that little amount and you are happy as a Camel on hump-day (Ben's favorite commercial right now)

Loving-
We are loving our puppy right now. He is such a happy little guy and he's learning lots of new tricks. His repertoire now includes- sit, stay, up, down, hup (jumping over legs, arms etc) walk, come, catch, fetch, roll over, and this crazy thing where ben puts treats on his paws and he stares at them until you say ok and then he snatches them. Seriously=genius dog.

Ben is loving the cadaver lab where he spends most of his days, nights, life, staring at dead bodies and deciding whether that looks like a spleen or a chicken nugget.

Sydney is loving Yoga. I go to classes around 3-4 times a week and recently signed up for level 1 teacher training for January! I could not be more excited to see what opportunities this opens up for me. Of course I'll be at the studio even more than Ben has ben at the C.Lab, but at least the company is alive! Also I LOVED dressing up as Cinderella for Halloween! mostly proud that this costume I wore as a senior in high school still fit!

Feeling-
Honestly we've been a little stressed lately. We are waiting to hear from med schools- I'm studying for the GRE that won't do much for me if we get into med school-We have no idea where we'll be living next year, or what we'll be doing! So life is stressful but we are also feeling blessed because we have a great job, a great apartment, a fabulous dog, and each other!

Wanting-
To get into med school. period.

Enjoying-Oh we are enjoying lots of things. Lately we've been trying to go to the Provo Temple to get some family names done which has been a great experience. As Mormons we believe that it is our responsibility to perform sacred ordinances in the Temple for family that has passed on. These ordinances ensure that our families will be together forever, even after death! There is no "till death do us part" when families are sealed in the temple for time and ALL eternity!


So life is still good and we are looking forward to the Holidays just around the corner! Ben's family will be here for Thanksgiving then we'll be going to MI for a bit of Christmas then Mexico for the rest with mi familia! We're pumped- oh yes and our anniversary is in one month! Two years down- eternity to go!
