Wow...it's been a long time since last I posted anything. I'll try to fit it all in, but I'll most likely leave stuff out lol.

I moved to Utah to help Bobby and Peggy with the 3 kids that they are in the process of adopting. It has been an interesting, frustrating, eye-opening experience. These children have gone through so much in their short lives. There are so many issues that need to be dealt with and that is where the eye openers and frustrations come in. They are now in a place where they are loved, fed, washed, have clean clothes, and discipline. They don't like the discipline but it is consistent and fair rather than sporadic and harsh. Just in the 2 months that I have been here, things have improved so much. There is still much more to be done, but they are finally on the right track.

I got accepted into Utah Valley University. It's very nice considering how close I am to the school. I go through the back fence and cross the street and I am on the school property. It's so nice having it right there. Since I don't have a car, it's very nice to be in walking distance of the school. I decided on a major finally. I'll be doing Integrated Studies, with emphases on German and History. I'll be able to use that for what I want to do with my future, which is be an interpreter for the UN. This next semester I'll be taking 4 classes, 2 history classes (American Civ. and Renaissance and Reformation Europe), German 2010 (Intermediate German, and Ethics and Values. I got extremely lucky in that most of my classes transferred over, and I don't have to take too many other General Ed. classes.

Last week we went on vacation to Yellowstone National Park. It is gorgeous and amazing there. I highly recommend that everybody goes there someday. I posted a bunch of pictures on my Facebook, so you should be able to see them there.

I'm also going to be starting Temple Preparedness classes at church soon. The bishop wants me to take the class before I get my recommend and go to the temple and be confused as to what's going on. I can't wait to start them. I'm feeling ready, but not ready enough. I'll keep you guys updated as to when that is going to happen!

Well, I'm off.
I love you guys and miss you all so very much. Many hugs and kissses to you all.
Love
Peggie
