Trip to Colorado

For our Thanksgiving break this year we went to Colorado to visit Mike's family. We had a blast playing monopoly (I even beat Mike once), seeing some of Mike's old buddies, and spending time with Mike's family. Mike got up early Thanksgiving morning to participate in his old ward's Turkey Bowl, and I even braved the below freezing temperatures to watch him play. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner, topped off with a high-stakes monopoly game between the three Perley boys (after about 2 hours of playing and lots of heated discussions Mike won). On Friday, instead of shopping, I indulged in a pedicure and facial with Mike's sister. It was wonderful!

Now that the break is over, we will have to get back to studying hard, but we are looking forward to the somewhat longer break for Christmas.

2/3

Mike and I are officially done with 2/3 of the semester - Hooray! Hopefully it is all down hill from here. Last week we had our second round of midterms, so we have spent this weekend relaxing and recuperating from all of the studying and lack of sleep. Part of the recuperation involved a night hike with Mike's mission friend Bob, and his wife Cassandra. I have never night hiked before and it was an interesting experience. I could live happily without ever doing it again. Mike's close friend is getting married this coming weekend up in Idaho so we are excited to get to go to that. In other news, Salt Lake finally got a Cheesecake Factory, so Mike and I are just waiting for the incredibly long wait to die down so we can go and enjoy some amazing food and delightful cheesecake.

That is pretty much it. Oh, and BYU beat TCU, which was wonderful, so as long as they can beat Utah they will have not lost a home game for the past two seasons. Go BYU!
