Bursting at the Seams

Back to School. Back to BYU.

{Hugh in his Glory days on the BYU soccer team. 2007.}

I loved going back to school when I was young. There is nothing better than a new outfit, a backpack stocked with school supplies, and the smell of fall in the air. By the end of the summer, I was more than ready to get back into the grind of school. Sometimes I miss getting ready to go back to school. I guess this is one reason why fall is still my most favorite season...it symbolizes new beginnings for me (much more than New Years does, I might add).

This goes without saying that I am a little jealous of Hugh...he gets to go back to school this year. In fact, his first real day was yesterday. He's back at BYU to work on his Master's of Public Administration degree. And although we both are a little bummed he won't be able to grow out his hair and beard...we are both excited for this opportunity to be back at BYU. BYU has been good to us. It's a little adventure for the whole family. I feel I get to live a little vicariously through Hugh and "go back to school" with him. It should be fun and I'm sure hard and challenging as well. I'm excited! Back to being starving students...good thing we still live in my dad's basement ;).
