and good news: my family is coming for general conference!! they will be here in 5 weeks! and i will get to see jeff again! that all ought to motivate me to get my stuff done during the practicum... : )

also made rolls, green bean casserole, and mashed potatoes to have a super fun and delicious mock thanksgiving dinner with my sister's family who lives upstairs
read books
relaxed
went to church
had fun

other positive points from recent:
my 302 teacher wanted me to send her an electronic copy of my management plan to use as a good example : )
our 4 year old nephew commented on the culinary exquisiteness of our mashed potatoes that really will is the master maker of... ok he really just said he "likes ash and will's potatoes"... but coming from a 4 year old... we're proud : )
