Catch up!

These past few weeks have been very busy and quite stressful! We are officially registered for our last semester of school! We will be graduating in April! There were a lot of ups and downs for me to make it possible for me to register. It was like everyday for like 6 days something bad would happen and then it would get worked out. But we are so thankful for our Heavenly Father and know that he is always looking out for us. Since Halloween we have seen Graham quite a few times and love that he loves us and recognizes us. We have made multiple trips to Porter's, Garrett has been loving that but we are also loving our house that has taken on Christmas mode and a newly rearranged living room! I keep thinking, why didn't we do this before?!

Some exciting news that happened about two weeks ago is that I passed my Multiple Subject Praxis Exam!! It was a four hour long test with four different subjects including english, math, science, and social studies and I PASSED ALL FOUR THE FIRST TIME! It was the biggest relief! I am so so grateful and happy! All day and even the next day I kept saying to Garrett, "I passed the praxis."

Last week we were in need of a break so we headed to Idaho Falls on Friday after classes to look for Christmas ideas and run some errands. Earlier that day I saw on Instagram that one of my best friends growing up was with her team in Pocatello playing a college basketball game. So we obviously had to go. It took us a while to find where they were playing but we finally did, the gym smelled horrible but it was SO good to see her. Garrett was happy to hear that we were going to watch basketball and not volleyball. We are both very happy that basketball season is here again. It might be our favorite season of the year, well at least mine. I was so good to take the day off and just enjoy each others company!

It had been so long since we had taken a picture so yes, I made Garrett take pictures outside the mall.. and I'm glad I did because I love them. 

Idaho blessed us with a beautiful sunset to stare at while driving to Pocatello. 

I love getting pictures from parents at basketball games while we enjoy one ourselves. Basketball season is in full force with the Stott family. 

It was so good to see Kaitlyn and catch up with her! Growing up I played basketball and soccer with her! My dad and her mom were our coaches and let's just say we were a pretty good team. Her mom was like my second mom until they moved when I was in 6th grade. Love you Kaitlyn, keep killing it on the floor! Wish I was out there with you!

On a side note, I have been making freezer meals with Katrina and LOVING it. They are so easy and nice to have on hand with our busy schedules. I don't know why I haven't made them before but I know for sure that I will continue making them. One of the meals we made was teriyaki chicken and then we put it over rice with cabbage salad and it tasted like it came straight from noodle express. 

We will be busy until the end of the semester but really enjoyed Garrett's birthday and Thanksgiving break in Lander! More to come on that soon!
