it's a boy!

I am going to be an aunt! And thanks to a not-so-busy summer, baby boy Cleat is going to have the cutest little room.

i'm back.

i'm baaaaaack. i'm back to america, back to provo, back to real life. well, as real as my life gets. i'm back to living off cookie dough...and caisa. i'm back to having to drive to see my friends instead of just walking upstairs. i'm back to watching tv instead of doing homework and spending all day in class instead of out being out in the city. it's strange, but it's nice. it's nice being back to target. and yogurtland. it's nice being able to pick up the phone and call whomever, whenever. it's so nice being back with my sister and my best friends. even though i still get homesick for jerusalem sometimes, i'm glad i'm back, and i'm glad i'm back in provo. (but i do miss you mom!)

these last two weeks have been so fun. dear sweet melanie came to utah with jump (the dance convention she works with), and she extended her flight so we could play for a day. caisa and i have made it to the ingrid michaelson concert and both the lucky one and titanic already. i managed to get the coolest job ever working for j kirk richards. i spend as much time as possible with caisa and candice and melissa and sarah, but no worries, there have also been countless jerusalem reunions already as well. i played tennis for the first time in my life yesterday and participated in critical mass the day before. i even agreed to go hiking with people one day! (don't worry it didn't actually end up happening) turns out, jerusalem changed me.

i really am so happy. i'm loving provo. i'm loving life. life is grand.
