Here's a video of my FHE group carving pumpkins...And another one of people eating the pumpkins...but don't worry, I was the smart one!

Here's my FHE family (minus Kim and the four other girls...they had to leave early). We had so much fun carving pumpkins. We're planning on roasting the seeds once we figure out how to do that properly. Thanks for letting me take home the giant pumpkin! It make a lovely "H" for FHE. Picture 1: Me carving...look at that form! Dad would be so proud! Picture 2: Our beautiful pumpkin carving skills Picture 3: My amazing FHE group. Back row left to right is Casey, Neil, and Peter. Front row left to right is Jenna, Me, Kendra, and Stephen.

Greetings one and everyone! I'm so so so SO sorry that it's taken me so long to email. I'm glad that you got my letter in the mail...I'm sorry I wasn't able to email--we held transfers that day and didn't get a chance to make it to the library for the internet. I arrived at the SLC airport and was able to call many of you but wasn't able to catch everyone. Our flight was on a little Canadair jet for Skywest and we flew straight to Cleveland. Well, straight's a relative word, because it was so turbulent-y that I ended up puking. Yep, that's right. Good thing I'd stuck an entire change of clothing in my carry on so I could change my shirt before I met President Peterson. Ugh, I'm embarrassed to tell the story but man, it was so funny. I felt very humbled when I met President, because I had all these plans of looking and presenting myself as my best self but my stomach and Heavenly Father had other ideas. We had a great dinner at the Mission hom...

Yes - it was fabulous! We all love pre-school. Blake and I loved the time together and Ethan had a great first day! The Preschool teacher is Mrs. Neal and she is SO sweet! We started with a great breakfast (Mom-I want hot chocolate and candy, No, You can have bannanas and cold cereal), then in our Thomas the train costume. At school we did many fun things, including Halloween Bingo and made spider cookies.

We received a nice albeit short letter from Stephanie today. Here is the scoop. She is in Stow, OH and her companion is Sister Stacie Corbridge from Layton, UT. Her P-day is Wednesday. Sister Stephanie Cannariato 4533 Fishcreek Road Stow, OH 44224 Write her soon!

Big day at the Walter home. I just enrolled Ethan in pre-school! He starts tomorrow. I'll post pics soon. Love, Monica

Like it or hate it, this is my app essay for BYU. nothin special, just thought we'd give you a laugh. As the great woman Eleanor Roosevelt once told me, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” Okay, so realistically this quote originated many years before my birth, but since first stumbling upon it, this phrase has become my motto for life. And throughout the years, I have racked up some pretty scary experiences. However, these experiences have also been times of great learning and growth for me. I am a secretary at heart—I love taking notes, making handouts, and not having to speak in front of large groups. But when National Honor Society elections came junior year, I decided to branch out—and scare myself. Being elected President of NHS has forced me to step out of my box; not only have I become comfortable speaking before large audiences, I am also better at being a more flexible and cooperative leader. Watching my older sister participate in Junior Miss, I knew that I wanted ...
