So, today is the one year anniversary of my last post on this blog. I'm going to claim that letting a year pass was all a part of my master scheme -- one year, that's ridiculous. In brief, Cambra and I are on the tail end of our third semester in a row at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg. The social aspect has been a blast and the school part has been challenging but rewarding. That being said, here is the list of what has happened in the past year in no specific order.
