Good News Monday

Today has been a good day for Tyler for two huge reasons:

1) He was accepted to the Santa Clara University School of Law! We're not sure yet where he's actually going to go for law school, but it was his first official acceptance letter, so it was rather exciting. The idea that we might end up hereis also pretty awesome. We expect that we'll hear from all of the schools he applied to within the next few months.

2) He got his latest LSAT score back: 167. That's the 95th percentile. Congratulations Tyler! We were really excited to get that score back. That score opens up a lot more doors, both in scholarships and possible schools he could apply to. He's thinking about applying to some more schools to widen his options. Harvard or Stanford, anyone?

I'm so proud of Tyler and I'm excited to see what the future holds for us!

I Love to See the Temple

As I've tried to "collect" "artwork" for my current house (and very distant future house), I've found myself gravitating towards LDS pictures. As it turns out, the two pictures I've collected thus far are both pictures of temples!

Tyler and I bought this SLC Temple picture back on the 4th of July at the bizarre held at the old Utah County courthouse grounds. I love it! I think it's such an interesting picture. Word has it that the picture is not "doctored" (e.g. the flags were really there when the picture was taken), so I think it makes it that much more cool. We're still trying to figure out where to hang it.

For Christmas, David and Denise got me this picture of the Sacramento Temple - the temple where Tyler and I were married. I love the picture and I know exactly where it's going in my house. I think this old "antique" style of the picture is really awesome. Thanks for the picture!

Merry Christmas!

For Christmas, Tyler got a new SLR digital camera. He was really excited to get it, and he's been having fun learning how to use it.

Here are some random pictures we took with it on Christmas day.

We had a wonderful Christmas and we hope all of you did too!
