The Hunter 7

In August, we spent a week here in Provo to participate in the BYU Education Week run of With Mine own Hand: The Musical Account of Nephi. During that week, Grant saw his best friend David Holladay for the first time in 3 years. Growing up, their favorite thing to do was make silly movies together under the production name of "Playaround Productions", cause that is what they were doing - playing around. When these boys were 11 years old, they made their first movie, titled "The Hunter". It was about a boy being chased by another boy. Apparently (it's hard to tell sometimes) the "bad boy" wanted something from the "good boy". Grant played the good boy and David the bad. Soon after, they made a second, then a third, until the year before their missions they made the sixth. Then, David and Grant are united once again after three years of separation and what do they do? Do they sit and talk about their mission experiences? Well, yes... but they also make "Hunter 7: The Mummy's Corpse"! We hope you enjoy it.

Feet Firmly Planted in the Stratosphere

So we're up and running as promised... finally. After a whirlwind honeymoon (We had a wicked storm at Bear Lake the last day) and crazy few first weeks of school, Brant and Gri... we mean, Grant and Bri are settling into their new place at last. We have some awesome upstairs neighbors, for privacy purposes we'll call them the Puzzles, who supply us "poor starving college students" free fruit and veggies fresh from the Puzzle garden. Mmm-mmm.

We had a party opening all the gifts we received, and we're so grateful! Who knew it took so much stuff to stock a home?! (especially the kitchen!) Bri has braved the kitchen many evenings to attempt to learn how to use all the neat tools we've received, and she's only set the fire alarm off twice. (By the way, anyone know how to remove grated cheese stains from a tablecloth?)

Grant's mad musical skills have once again landed him in BYU's premier nine-man a cappella group, Vocal Point. We have this wonderful echo in the hallway entrance to our apartment, and he can often be heard vocal percussing his way into the house, as he returns from classes.

We also had a surprise visit from a bishopric member this last Sunday (sadly interrupting Bri's ritualistic morning bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios) just before church started. The ward decided to cash in on Grant's choir directing experience and also called Bri as the ward Miamaid adviser.

We had a small miracle occur in Bri receiving a job as a transliterator for Utah Valley University (only 15.4 minutes away from their home, unless Hannah is driving). She is very excited to start work tomorrow morning!

Marriage is even more fun than anticipated. Learning all about how to live with and serve each other is a neat and rewarding experience. We're really thankful for all the great advice we received from you! While we're having a blast here in Provo, we miss you and think about you often, so keep us updated.
