White Coat Ceremony!!!

Earl had his white coat ceremony on Saturday. It was so good to see that his dream of becoming a doctor is finally starting. He looked so happy up there and he looked really handsome in his white coat. The girls did a pretty good job but it made me realize how much I miss my family. I wish that they could have been here with us. This is a picture of Earl putting on his white coat.

Fun with moving!

So here are a few of the pictures we took of the things we did before we moved, during and when we got to Kirksville. We got to hang out with both sides of our family, friends, and we tried to do things that we would miss. It was a crazy few weeks but we had fun with it. The drive out was long, but it was better than I thought it would be. The girls did great and they got to swim in a pool at our hotel in North Platte. They played on a train at a park in Wyoming where we stopped for lunch. It was nice to get to Kirksville and thanks to Earl's family, it didn't take to long to get settled in.

Goodbye Old Apt., Hello New!

Well, it finally happened. We finally got to move into a different place. I can't believe how much I love our new place. We doubled our space and yard. It is so much fun to have a place for the girls to ride their bikes, have a toy room for them to play in without toys all over the place. I do miss being in Utah and seeing family. But I love it here in Kirksville. The people are so nice and I love the area. It just feels like home.

7 Years!

So I wasn't able to put this up last week because we just got internet here. But I wanted to say Happy Anniversary to Earl. I can't believe it has been 7 years on Aug. 13th. Time has gone by so fast but I have enjoyed it so much. I couldn't imagine my life without him and I'm excited for the future. He is a loving husband and father. He is very goal oriented and I know that he will make a great doctor. I love him so much. Thanks Earl for 7 great years.

Crazy

Well, moving is not the funnest thing to do but I couldn't have asked for a better move out process. We had great help in packing the truck and cleaning the apartment that we were able to do it in under three hours. My sisters were awesome at cleaning and the apartment looked great. Thanks so much you guys for helping me do that. I couldn't have done it without you. I also want to thank Earl's family for all of their help and Adam and Jason for helping in loading the truck. It was so nice to have so much help. It made the process a lot less stressful. I'm so grateful for having such great families and friends.
I'm nervous for the next step but it will be a fun adventure.
