Octuba

First off, we are alive. No harm has come upon us. We haven't crashed our car in a ravine. Lacey hasn't killed me for my money. No one has died from dysentery. So, we are alive and ticking.

Lacey has been busy with homework. I've been busy with teaching and helping my students. We now have certified copies of our wedding license, thanks to mom. Today, Lacey will take her driving test so she can get a new drivers license with her new last name. Then later, we'll drive down to Idaho Falls to get her a new social security card with her new name. The school let her change her name with our temple certificate. The bank surprisingly let us do the same. She should officially be a Bagley sometime this evening.

We just got down our weekly routine. Our schedules workout such that we have a lunch break at the same time, so we usually go home and have leftovers or sandwiches. We go through the temple every Wednesday at 4:30pm with Cari Fort while Lyle is in class until 9pm. We have been going on walks every so often, but we are planning on working out MWF evenings.

We've got our budget down. It is amazing how many little things there are to plan for. And when you only get 2/3 of your paycheck because of taxes, you get frustrated with the government. If they want me to spend money to spark the economy, let me have more of my money to spend.
