Sorry, no new writing yet...

I just realized it's been exactly a month since I last updated my blog. I was hoping that by this time I would have some type of creative writing written, but it hasn't happened yet. Things have been kind of busy for me lately. I'm hoping once things settle down a bit, I'll be able to spend some more time writing what I want to write.

So this is what I've been up to...
I went to Washington with my parents to see my newborn niece. I had such a great time holding the baby and helping Sierra (another niece) with her homework and teaching her the Rubiks Cube. And she got it! I couldn't have been prouder! This weekend, though it was General Conference, I left Utah and come to Rexburg (where I am right now). It was my first time driving to Rexburg by myself. Of course I have made the trip many times, but never on my own, and never while I was driving. The Samuelson family graciously invited me to stay with them for a few days. I have had a great time playing card games and mixing salt water taffy with Elisabeth, and the unique experience of watching Scott do his magic with watercolors. On Sunday, Shauna and I went to a nearby park and fed ducks. While we were there we saw a blue heron and a bald eagle. It was amazing! And the ducks went crazy when we got there with bread. They immediately surrounded us. Shauna and I ended up standing back to back and feeding the ducks right at our feet. A lame duck took quite a while to come up to me, so I made sure to give him extra bread. And a particularly impatient duck pecked my legs if I didn't feed him every other piece of bread. Needless to say, I have a few bruises on my leg and a possible even greater phobia of ducks!

I guess that's all for now. Although I keep saying this, I will try harder to keep this blog updated.
Hope all is going well with you all!
