Clark is sending Nate to P-Town to recruit some Cougars to come to California and work. Cougars make the world a better place, right? Enter to learn, go forth to serve, or something like that.
He'll hold an info session for Construction Management majors and then conduct some interviews. Perks are a lunch with his brother Chase and of course, the Cafe Rio. Both on Clark's dime. Not to shabby. I told him I am jealous of his trip.
I have such wonderful memories of Provo in the Fall. Walking up to campus early mornings and being so awe struck at the beauty all around me. I felt like I could reach out and touch the mountains.
I would say a silent prayer of Thanks for allowing me to be in such a beautiful place. I told Nate he should eat at the Cougar eat and get a Salad Wrap and some chocolate milk. He was sure that wasn't going to happen. I would definitely make it happen.
If it's even there.
I'm sure things have changed since back in my day.
What a blessing that time in my life was.
Last night at the activity for the Young Men and Young Women, we were shown a film that was made to help high school kids prepare for college. The words of the Lord and his prophets were quoted on the importance of getting an education. The Glory of God is Intelligence D&C 93:36.
We are lucky Nate is able to get his Masters right now. His company is paying for it.
I miss school. Not test taking and paper writing, but learning. Listening and absorbing. My brain is mush now days. It feels horrible. Sometimes I think I should work part time so I would be forced to keep my skills sharp. My kids keep me on my toes, and push me to the edge, but it's different.
It's been bad lately since the T.V has been on a lot. It is survival in first trimester of pregnancy.
I need a good book to read. I think a trip to the library is on the list for today.
P.S
Thanks for all the well wishing and concern after our adventure. I drove on the freeway this morning coming back from the airport and it wasn't as traumatic as I imagined.

We have had one car are whole marriage up until last month when we bought our second. So it is not too bad. It sounds like you got in an accident though. So sorry hope everyone was okay.
I always see provo as being the perfect place for that part of my life, can't imagine being anywhere else but there for those years. It has probably changed less then you think. The kids just look like they are twelve now.
Being pregnant is so hard... you're doing great. Things won't seem this bleak after you've healed... and yes, I really think pregnancy is something we have to heal from.
Anyway, I think the library is one of the most blessed places we can go with our children. It's fun, enlightening for everyone. A couple tools I use that make it 100 times better: 1) the library website to hold books or find books and 2) most of all: goodreads.com Have you used this website? You can find the best books this way, record everything you've read currently reading, etc. Write reviews and read what others have written... hook up with friends to see what they're reading.. it's so fun! So I use my goodreads to look at my to-read list or find a book some other way on that site, then I go to the library website... then we go for a visit. Most of my books are held for me so I don't have to lug my kids around looking for them, then the rest of the time, my kids get to roam the children's section picking out whatever books they like (and I pick some too of course). We take advantage of all the activities at the library too. It's a great place. Did I say I love the library?
Sorry for the epistle.
And Campus still has that same wonderful uplifting unique feeling... I thought the kids looked like 12 back when I was a student, so no big change for me there... they've added some beautiful new buildings, but they still have salad wraps and fresh bread at the Cougareat.
Read "Emotional Intelligence." It's amazing and so useful.
I miss those days. I had a blast with the afternoon I spent with Rachel there. Ohhhh. Sad.
Reunion??!!!
