BYU Mens Volleyball

My awesome husband has known for a while that I love watching volleyball! When we were engaged and the Olympics were on, that was probably one of my favorite sports to watch. One day while he was on campus I got an email from him telling me that BYU Mens Volleyball was starting soon. He asked me if I wanted to go see a game with him.

BYU played Hawaii and it was such a good game! All three matches were very close, but BYU ended up winning all three of them. The shortest guy on the team was 6 ft! We tried to get some actions pictures, but we were far away and they turned out blurry.

This is proof that we sure had fun watching volleyball!!

PS. I added a picture of my boyfriend....COSMO!!

AHH...what did I get myself into?

First off, welcome to our new blog! We thought it would be fun to start one of these, especially with family and friends so far away from us. Sorry it wont be as entertaining as other blogs that have kids, but we will try our best.

So I need some help! A sign up sheet came to me in the Relief Society binder for a craft group. I thought that would be a good idea to sign up because with Nathan and I both being in a new ward and right away being put into Nursery I could meet people. The lady in charge called me to see if I had any ideas. She then came by our house and I showed her a website with some craft ideas. She said that most of them the ward had done previously. She then asked me to be in charge of the craft group for March. Im not really sure why, but that makes me really nervous!! What if I pick a craft that no one wants to do? What if no one signs up? So where I need help is that if you know of any cute craft ideas, would you please send them my way? I would really appreciate it!

Chlorophyll? More like Bore-o-phyll!

So last semester I got to do an independent project in my chemistry class.  Somehow I got the bright idea to measure the amount of chlorophyll in Utah lake.  I heard chlorophyll levels indicate pollution levels, and I know Utah lake is miserably dirty, so I thought it might be interesting.  I go through all the sample collections, extractions, arguing with the teacher, and spectrophotometric readings only to find out there is no chlorophyll in the stinkin' lake.  The funny thing is that it turns out algae, the stuff that produces the chlorophyll, doesn't really like the cold, barren wasteland of Utah either.  They only come out in the summer.  I wish I could be more like them.
