A wonderfully busy week

We have had a great and busy week. First, we made our way to Fallon, NV to visit Todd's brother and his family for a long weekend. We don't get to see them very often so it was wonderful to be able to go and spend time with them. They have 4 adorable kids that were so much fun to hang out with. We played in the playhouse, dug holes in the garden, flew kites, and saw Toy Story 3. It was so much fun and well worth the 8 hour drive.
We got home on Sunday night and then headed to Twin Falls on Wednesday. Todd had an all day meeting for his new job so I went along to spend the day exploring. I studied for a few hours in the hotel room that morning and then went shopping/walking around town for the afternoon. We are both so excited to move there. It just seems like our kind of town. I think we're really going to love it. :)
Friday, I drove to Ogden to take the dreaded test. It was such a long drive by myself just stressing about what was coming but I made it through...and passed!!!! It was actually harder than I expected so I was pretty worried but so glad that it worked out. It's SO nice to be done studying everyday and actually have time to do things around the house. Now we just have to get Todd through his 4 tests....
The week ended with a great 4th of July celebration. We spent Saturday in Idaho Falls for my favorite holiday festivities. We walked the river, had a bbq, and watched the fireworks with friends and family. It was a wonderful day and I'm so glad that we were able to go. We were even lucky enough to get to celebrate twice :) Sunday, we were able to watch the Pocatello fireworks from Todd's parents' roof. We are so luck to have been able to do so many fun things this past week.

  2. Good thing to keep a blog for when you argue who's turn it is to plan the anniversary!
