I just added a playlist to my blog so now you can rock out while you peruse my pearls of wisdom. Let me know if you have any suggestions of songs to add, or you can create your own playlist for your blog.
On another note, why is life so complicated sometimes? I realize that I am super fortunate and actually quite blessed but some days I just don't want to deal with my stuff anymore. I have no idea how women with kids and jobs and hard church callings and real obligations do it. I am just trying to go to school and really nail down what I want to do with my life and it has really tested my limits. Any thoughts on how all you gals (and guys, maybe) deal with your stress? I would love to hear it. Nate will probably tell you that I am not very graceful or fun to be around right now. I really need to get it together.
On a fun note, we are going on Saturday to get our puppy! We cannot wait!
I recently found (and maybe I am way out of the loop, like WAY) a blog called seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com. Don't read it if you don't have a sense of humor about Mormon women or if you hate blog lingo. I laughed out loud a lot. It is such an accurate picture of a lot of the women in SLC and "The UC."

Great News!!!
We found out this week, about a month earlier than expected, that Nate has passed the Utah Bar Exam! We are so thrilled. Nate is officially not only a doctor, but a lawyer as well. He is very smart and handsome but I might be biased. Thank you for all the well wishing and prayers.

Weekend Trip Home, etc.
Nate and I went to Utah for Labor Day weekend. Daniel had his farewell before he heads off to Georgia in a week or so. Daniel did a fabulous job on his talk and Holly, Laura, Jon, and I didn't do half bad on a really impromptu musical number.
After a wonderfully uplifting farewell party, Nate, Nancy, Jon, and I headed off to the Bob Dylan concert in Deer Valley in a torrential rainstorm. The venue is a lovely little outdoor amphitheatre in the mountains that was turned into a very respectable mud pit by all the concertgoers. It was super cold and none of us could understand a word that crazy guy was saying but we had a great time.
You can almost see him down there. It was raining pretty hard the whole time so we didn't see much of him, but he sounded good (as good as he ever does).
Nate is helping me keep my feet warm. I forgot to bring socks or real shoes. Brrrr.
Since it was the last time the Sechrest family will all be together for about two years, we took the opportunity to have a family picture taken. Those kids are sooooo cute!
I will post the newest pics of our puppy as soon as I have them!
Quick Update
Good News!! We had choosing day for our puppy yesterday. This means that everyone on the waiting list sends in their choices of which puppy they want and then the breeder doles out the dogs. We wanted the only boy in the litter and we got him! I will post updated pics soon.
Getting back to school has been ten thousand times harder than I thought it would be so I feel like never have a moment to spare. I have other things to post and will try to get to them soon. I know all my millions of faithful blog fans are just waiting anxiously... soon my friends, soon.
