This though comes from the book I'm reading, "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel
"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."
I thought that was well written

happy thanksgiving
boy was thanksgiving ever happy, it was great to only have two days of school that week. A lot has happened in the past few weeks, we bought a car, a 1995 gold Toyota Camary. I took the GRE and rocked the 1000 point cutoff at BYU. BYU beat the U at football 17-10, and this year makes two.
For thanksgiving, Courtney and I, and Michel and Erin Anderson all went up to Lehi UT. and spent the day with the Haines family, and we a quite grateful for their hospitality.
School is coming to a close, and many of my large assignments are already completed, so there are only a few more things to do before finals kick in. Finding parking close to BYU is a joke, everything fills up at about 8:00 am sharp and there are no more spots available for the rest of your life, so you have to walk from 40 miles away, or just park at the marriot center.
The new car is good, it has mostly all working parts, but it lacks tunes, so we may get that looked at. the rest of it seems to be on good order, and it passed Carfax with flying colors.
It has finally gotten cold here in Provo, and outside our door the rain gutter drips and it has created an interesting looking natural ice sculpture on the grass.
in a distant past I had some pictures from halloween, and a few other things.
Beware the blurry Strong Bad Pumpkin.
Scooby doo and a Tiger playing gameboy on BYU campus, on halloween.
And begining a new tradition, funny things on BYU campus. This picture in in the library, and it shows the collective intelligence of the geography department. Clearly the library is located in South Central Africa.

a brief update
Some more pictures, if anyone wants to see a whole bunch more pictures of us kissing, we'd be happy to oblige, we like looking at them.
Apart from that, things are busy again, school is in full swing and I am almost done with the first round of midterms, one of the hardest ones is coming up on Tuesday, but hopefully all will go well. I'm scheduled to take the GRE in mid-November, and Courtney is helping me to study for that. We will begin our hunt for a car in earnest this week, and hope to get one soon, we already missed our goal to get a car before it snowed in Provo. My bike is currently kaput, on account of problems with a seat, I never thought it would have been so difficult to find a bolt the size that I need, but after searching through two hardware stores and a bike shop, I will need to go to an industrial fastener store to find a metric bolt that is long enough for me to use. Apart from my recent bike troubles, things are going well, I must say that I love being married, and I love my wife.

Somebody got married
Two somebodies, Courtney and Me.
life was once dreary and gray, but now life is in color (pink and sage green)
We don't have very many of our official wedding pictures yet, but hopefully soon they will come. These are pictures that were taken by family members.
We got married August 25th in the Colombia River Washington Temple. After a short honeymoon in Boston we came back out to Provo so I can finish school. Courtney graduated in April and is working.
To all my loyal blog readers (that includes you Renny): You are invited to our mini reception/open house tonight (sept 15) from 6:30 to 9:00 pm at 975 E 50 S #4 (casual dress is accepted)
I would have posted sooner, but the internet at our apartment is flaky, it was out all last weekend, and school has been keeping me busy already
As for school, I'm taking 5 classes for 15 credits. I have Moral Development, Theories in Family Development, Advanced Issues in Human Development, Adult Development and Aging, and World Civilizations since 1500 (GE)
we are running a mile a minute and still have a lot of things to do but we are very happy.
