Eric and I celebrated our three-month anniversary today. We ate ice cream :0) We're really not huge on the anniversary thing. Maybe once we hit a year it will be more of a big deal...
We taught our first marriage and family relations class today, which, since we are now three months married, went smoothly--we have all the answers now! But really, it did go well and I'm so excited to get to know the couples in our class better. We have such a great ward.
Friday we had a neat experience; we went to the opening of the RNC office here in Provo. They've set up a call center for the campaign. We aren't necessarily keen on campaigning for McCain or anything, but we did want to hear Jason Chaffetz speak. He's the republican candidate for Congress in our district, and we wanted to learn more about what he stands for. We were really impressed with what we heard. He's a genuinely good man who doesn't seem to care about making himself popular with other republican leadership. I really believe that he is more concerned about being able to answer to his constituents about what he does if he gets elected.
Yesterday we watched the football game in my office on campus; there's a big plasma screen tv on the wall and campus cable has The Mountain, so it was a good choice. We only watched the first half, though, because when BYU is leading 27-0 at the half (against Wyoming to boot), you pretty much know what is going to happen. Go Cougs!
We went to the temple yesterday and did initiatory work, and I was so thrilled to discover that my friend Holly was working when I went, so I got to have a nice little reunion with her in the temple. I don't think there's anywhere else where you feel as happy to see someone. It's like seeing them as they really are, and your love for them is magnified. Eric met a man who is probably a distant cousin--his cousin is George Badger who works up in the SL Temple.

Happy Anniversary!
3 whole months! Are you sick of each other yet?
I especially like your statement about meeting someone in the temple. That's a good reason to go together as couples as often as possible--so you can remember who you really are and what you are trying to become together.
It pleases me, of course, that you are going to the temple (so glad you are doing initiatory work!), getting yourself informed about the people running for office, celebrating the milestones of your marriage, accepting and fulfilling church callings, etc. I'm glad you learned young of the importance of these things. What a great life you two will have together if you continue on this path.
