We took a long trek across the country with everything we own and have made our home here in Lewisburg, West Virginia.
It took us 3 and a 1/2 days to get here, driving about 10 hours a day. It was nice to have Shelly and Teri Lyn along for the drive and we really appreciated their help.

Spencer started school right away at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine. He loves it! He is doing awesome. I am really proud of my Student Dr. Tingey (that's what he calls himself). I started a job as a dental assistant for Greenbrier Valley Pediatric Dentistry. I love it there! I work with the kindest people I have ever met.
In August we went to the West Virginia State Fair, which is huge! Businesses around here will close the week of the fair because everyone in the town is there all of the time. We went with our awesome friends the Boggess's (right), the Hyde's, and the Sorbers! We had a blast! We ate everything from corn dogs, to cinnamon rolls, to funnel cakes, to gyros, to deep fried Snickers Bars. And that isn't everything...let's just say we ate a lot.
At the end of August we went to the Virginia Beach area with The Hyde's. We had such a good time.
We swam in the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. It was so warm, I couldn't even believe it. We swam the day after the hurricane hit that area. The waves were pretty awesome.
In September we had Spencer's white coat ceremony. Tony and Shelly Tingey came out to enjoy the fun occasion.
At the end of September Spencer and I went to Washington D.C. to go to a Braves vs. Nationals baseball game, which was tons of fun, and THE BRAVES WON, which made it even more fun!
All of this time I had been training to run a half marathon. Well I actually did it! I was so proud of myself! I trained with my friends Nativia, Shaylee and Joy. It was a great accomplishment for all of us and I was excited to be able to share that experience with them.
My Mom, Dad, Rachel, and Tyler came out to visit for Thanksgiving. It was a great week! We just relaxed, ate, ate and relaxed! It was fantastic! We showed them around at The Greenbrier Resort and had some falconry lessons.
In October our Bishop invited us to run The Gauley River with him. Well, Spencer had an exam, but I went. It was pretty awesome. This river is one of the top 5 rivers in the U.S. to run. I was terrified for my life, but I had a blast.
At the end of the month we had a Halloween party at the church. It was fun! I was a cowgirl and Spencer was...well...Spencer. The primary president asked me and the YW to teach the ward our own version of The Monster Mash. I was red as a beet but oh well.

Well that is the semester update! Sorry it is like a novel but I wanted to catch everybody up on our West Virginia Adventures!
