I'm Mormon...

...Yesterday was my first day of the pedagogy seminar I am taking at San Francisco State this semester, and that (I'm Mormon) was my unique introductory fact. Turns out it was unique. Pedro, my fellow BECA grad friend from Portugal, was the one to introduce me and he even commented that he had never met a Mormon before. I debated whether or not to drop the "Mormon bomb" on the first day of class (there are other unique things about me I am sure), but I decided to get the facts out on the table quick and early, rather than letting people speculate about this 26 year old who is married (sigh), and has a child (gasp), and is pregnant with another (doesn't she know about population control!). Gotta love the liberal pull at San Francisco State.
In truth, I do love SFSU. I had a great time getting my books from the book store and library, and meeting with faculty during the grad meet and greet. Being on campus is exhilarating, and I think it is good for me to be in the minority at least once a week... character building if nothing else.

Good news is my dad was in town, so Ella was well cared for on my first day of class. Not to mention that Grandpa Lowell taught Ella some great new skills (like to fold her arms when we pray, new words and how to play catch). Ella loves the attention Grandpa Lowell gives and is going thru withdrawls without him.

Today was Betsy's last mom's group (I'll have more to say about the Anderson's moving later), but one cute thing I do want to share now is Ella giving baby Reid kisses bye.

Ella loves babies, especially those in carseats... I think she is preparing to be a great big sister.
