I love to read my family and friends blogs, I laugh, I cry, I spend more time than I should seeing what everybody else is up to but I am SO BAD at updating my own blog. So in answer to the previous question, Who is the worst blogger? Me.
I had my 23rd birthday on September 29th, it was so fun to go out and catch up with all our friends and family. My favorite present was a painting that Spencer had done for me. It is a picture of the two of us. It is beautiful (Thank you Jethro). He did several other things for me that were so thoughtful! I am so lucky to have a husband like him, I love you Spencer!
I have been watching a lot more TV lately with Spencer being at school so much and have fallen in love with a show called "If Walls Could Talk". This show is all about old houses that people have moved in to and fixed up. BUT, the best thing about this show is that all the featured homes have a history. The things that happened in these houses are incredible to learn about. I get so jealous when things from centuries ago are found. One episode in particular featured a house back east, inside the walls of this house they found several items from the Civial War that had been hid. There were also several important documents, some of the things included: the original deed to the house, letters between father and son (who were both soldiers in the war) and wedding bands from the original owners. 

I love learning about people that lived in the past, what they did, where they lived, what they were like. One day I will have my dream of restoring an old house and finding some great artifacts inside! In the meantime, I recommend this show to anyone with time to kill, its on HGTV.
Before and..... after...

Whoa, I want that after house, I'm glad to see you back on the blogosphere. Tell Spence he needs to do another list. Maybe one about top 10 reasons BYU is better than the U :)
I love those kinds of shows too and I'd love to fix up an old house. I'm in love with a few around town I wish I could live in!
Happy Late Birthday! And for the record Luke was really sad that we cant watch the game with you guys today. It would have been lots of fun! So, next time, for sure!
I was just thinking about you yesterday wondering where the heck you've been :) Glad to hear you had a good birthday... sorry I've never been good at remembering things like that. Hope to hear more from you before next month :)
All I have to say is... It's about time!!! And also, I watch that show too! HGTV always has something good to watch.
