J. Rueben Clark Law Society

 

 Thankfully, just about every month, so far, we have a JRCL's meeting.  Well actually its just a "get together" I guess. The first one was at the beginning of school and it was at a Park here in Lincoln on a Saturday, we had pizza and just chatted it up with the other law students.  It was the first week of Nebraska football, crazy fans here in Lincoln, and we were one of the few who showed up wearing our BYU blue, when everyone else was wearing Nebraska Red.  Oh well, we can't ever stop supporting those Cougs.  And Now we know that on game day, when you leave your home, you BETTER be wearing red, or you'll have to endure the glares that will be following you while you grocery shop.
   On Friday we had our second "get together".  We met together at the Chapel and had dinner and dessert. Then we got to say goodbye to the little ones- those that had them, they had a nursery for them to play in, while we listened to a great message prepared by a man who I don't remember his name, sorry, I know however that he is in the Stake Presidency.  (He is a Social Science professor I believe)  He spoke to us about the stresses we will face on our marriage while our loved one is attending Law School.  He did a great job and even left us with homework.  We have a nice list of questions that we need to answer and then discuss together.  Questions like..."Who are your two closest friends?", " What is your fondest childhood memory?", "What is your favorite food?".  These questions are supposed to be fun, and be a way to reconnect to eachother.  So we tried it, and we only asked a few questions but it was fun, and come to find out, some of the questions we didn't even have answers for.  So it was nice to figure them out together. 
   I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful husband who cares so much about me and our son.  Amidst all of the stress he endures while attending Law School, he still finds time for us, even if its not much, that little bit makes a difference.  We love you babe.

Lincoln, Nebraska Parade of Homes

A dissapointment.   

BUT,

Atleast it was a little break from the normal day to day grind.

They need to really decorate the homes, instead "furnished" meant a couch, table, lamp, and maybe a rug.
