New days, new

I can't believe that people drive down the freeway every single day and see the temple like this! I can't wait to go inside.

DC is beautiful.

NASA in Greenbelt, MD

Some of the stuff was cheesy and broken, but

some of it was aweeeesome. This is where we learned about

Jupiter. It felt like we were in space and it FREAKED me OUT!!!

We found a place to live!

Rockville, MD and Collin has a

couple of interviews this week.

Life is exciting, but I miss Provo

friends a lot. It's hard to think of making

new friends. I think I can do it though.

I'm just so glad I'm with my best

buddy, Smith.

PACKING!!!!!!!!!!! ALL WEEK!!!!

We're really going and it's so crazy. It's definitely hard to say goodbye to some of the people here. We started our marriage here. I consider the Provo temple "my temple," and I love our apartment. Oh well, I'm sure we'll fins another haunted building to live in.

These are most of the boxes, but we still have a quite a few more!

Tomorrow is our last day of packing.

I love you Marion even though you don't play for the suns anymore.

And I love you SUNS. And I love you Kobe.

I'm so confused.

variety show at our place. Everyone is so talented.
