Well, things have been rather hectic lately. School has been taking up way too much of my time! Not only do I have my regular class assignments (readings and projects), but I'm in the midst of finalizing my internship and graduate project which means I'm writing grants, looking for flights, and finishing up a lot of seemingly unnecessary paperwork. Anyway, I guess it all has to be done. During what seemed like my busiest week yet, my brother Adam came to visit from England. It actually turned out to be a much needed and welcomed break. Traci and I took him down to Vegas for a night and spent a day in Zion National Park. Vegas was an experience, I'll probably never go back; but Zion's was amazing, (you can check out some pic's from our trip at www.spiresfam.blogspot.com). We were also able to catch a Jazz game, which was a first for me. Overall, I was glad to get away from Provo and school for a while - even though it was during a crazy busy time.
