School has finally started here up at the burg. The only thing that I can say is that I absolutely 100% love this school. I used to kinda be against church schools. Mostly cause I hated all the rules with the honor code and such, but really I'm discovering more and more everyday I was totally meant to come to BYU-I not only cause my husband goes here, but its the exact school I need. Where else can you sit in a Science class and discuss why it is important to have science and how it affects religion, or why it is important to bring religion when we are researching something. Every teacher of mine is constantly baring there testimonies and telling us to pray and work hard and heavenly father will help us get through this. They constantly build us up. We pray before each class, and we get amazing speakers each week for devotionals. Its awesome. I'm extremly motivated to succeed here. Something I wasn't at all at dixie. Our first week those has been a bit difficult though. Ron has been really sick for the last few weeks. He came down with strep throat and has had that with migraines so bad he throws up from lack of food cause we're in class or at school all day everyday pretty much. He just can't get rid of any of it and I feel really bad. Other then that though classes are going well very challenging (ron's more than mine), but we're surviving. Life is great sorry its hard to post cause we don't have the internet yet.

Wow! I had no idea BYU Idaho was like that. I'm definatley missing out here at Dixie. I know what you mean about the whole connecting Science with religion and the gospel. In my Biology class my teacher talked about how its really hard for some people to accept science and how they think it contradicts the gospel. Though, the more I learned, the more I think how could you not see that science and religion go hand in hand.
