Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile

Autumn is David's favorite season. He loves the feeling of the leaves crackling under his feet and the wonderful colors all around. Unfortunately, we had our first snowfall last night and soon the whole world will be under a blanket of snow. But before the snow came, David and I were able to get a few pictures of Rexburg in the fall.

Can you find David?

We set the timer on the camera so that we could both be in the pictures. We were both ready to take our last picture and when the timer went off I threw the leaves in the air, like we were supposed to, and David threw his in my face. I was not very pleased.

This is not from the leaves David threw in my face. But I did get hit in the head with a soccer ball during one of our tournament games. I couldn't really see out of my eye for a while but I finished the game and we won. Below is a closer look at my eye.

It's been way too long

It has been so long since I posted. I could say that things have been really busy, but in reality, I just haven't gotten around to posting. But we have been doing some fun things. David took me fishing for the first time in my life. We went with his family during Labor Day Weekend to Teapot Lake. That is where David's dad took David's mom on their first date. So they have a tradition of going fishing at Teapot Lake every Labor Day Weekend. It was a lot of fun.

David's parents own a canoe so we took it out in the lake. We didn't catch any fish out there but it was still fun.
And... I caught my first fish!! I was so excited! It was pretty small but it was mine. David's mom says I'm a natural at casting my line. However, I still refuse to gut the little fishies. Afterwards, we took the fish home and cooked them on the grill. I didn't care much for the bones I kept finding in my teeth. It'll take a while to become an expert fish eater.
Also this summer, David's sisters came to Rexburg for a visit. It was so fun to have them come and be able to show them the sites. David misses his family a lot. We took them to Mesa Falls. They really enjoyed this beautiful site.
We also took them to the sand dunes to play soccer and throw frisbees. In this picture, they buried us in the sand up to our waists (we are standing straight up). Then they gave us mermaid fins. It was fun.
Last night, I went to my first BYU football game with David and his family. They are avid BYU football fans so it was fun to watch it with them. David is trying to convert me to BYU football. So far I've watched all of the games except the Florida State game - which I'm OK with since they lost that game.

So that's what we've been up to lately. We're both going to school right now. David has a job helping build the new chapel by the temple and I'm still working for the Scroll. We're taking really hard classes this semester. We're taking archery and racquetball together. It's tough, but we enjoy it.
