Well another summer has gone by. School has started back up. May I say I have some pretty tough classes ahead of me. 

My brother Niklaus is in the Mexico MTC. He leaves next week to report to his actual mission in Guayaquil, Ecuador. He's very excited. He seems like he's doing so good. I miss him a lot. 

Fall is slowly approaching. I desperately want to wear boots, scarves and my long sleeve shirts, but the whether is teasing me just a little bit longer. I love the cool crispness of the mornings, but by noon, we are back to our usual dry 90 degrees. 

I called this summer "The Medical Hell". I spent a great deal of my time in the hospital -ER, or in a doctors office. I believe I've had over 20 IV's placed. I have permanent damage to my arms because of it. I had my gallbladder and appendix out. That sure made a difference. It's nice to be able to eat again. 

Well, back to work. I've got a test today. 

Til next time
