And Suddenly, it's October.

I can't believe the change that's come over Utah. It went from being ridiculously hot, to everything being just...crisp. The other day, I was talking to Nate and I told him that fall is one of my favorite seasons because everything is crispy...like the leaves. I have since realized that crisp is probably a better description. Still, I love it. I can wear sweaters, and jeans, and not want to rip my clothing off in public places because of the excessive temperatures. This is a good thing, especially when you are employed by the public school system.

Speaking of employment, for the most part, I really do like it. Overall, I've got great students, and the subject matter is really enjoyable. I like coming to work and feeling smart, and then helping other people feel smart once they get it too. I think Physics makes people smarter...if it doesn't melt their brains first.

In other news, exactly 5 years ago, Nate and I went on our first date to one of BYU's Homecoming dances. We were dressed up fancy, we were dancing the night away, and I went from thinking he was pretty cool to wondering about whether I was OK with breaking with my previous desire to only kiss the man I married. Guess I ended up solving both issues by both kissing him 2 weeks later, and then my marrying him about 3 years later. Happy 5 years of close association Nate, I still think we're pretty cool.
