An Update

For those of you that I don't talk to all of the time, here is an update of life! Matt completed his first year of residency. Yeah! He is now on to the next chapter of life as a resident and all that comes with it. This week he is studying and taking classes during the day for orientation at his new hospital downtown. Meanwhile, I am finishing up at Wal-Mart...my last day is Thursday and I can hardly wait! (I am looking for a teaching/tutoring job currently.) Otherwise, I am busy sorting, cleaning, and packing up our apartment so we can move this weekend. I have always taken for granted living by family, namely my mom, who has helped with this process in the past. It takes so much longer than I would like it to! And a final note, the weather has finally warmed up and we can enjoy this beautiful place that we live. Hopefully we can take advantage of me not having a job and do some fun things this summer.

Lake Trip

Of course we couldn't go to Arizona and not get to the lake. We went out bright and early before it got too busy.



Our nieces and nephews looked so cute sitting at the back of the boat. They love being on the boat and some can even manage a nap while the boat bumps and rocks. Amazing!



Matt loves to wake board and has some great moves! He also surfed from the boat...looks too hard for me!



I decided that this trip was my chance to learn to wake board. Here I am nervously waiting in the water.



Amazingly enough I got up my first time, but it took me a few times to get the hang of it and stay up. I am only showing this picture to prove that I actually did it. ;)

Wedding

We went to Arizona for my youngest brother's wedding. He married the sweetest girl and they just moved to California for the summer. I don't have any pictures of them, but we got family pictures taken the day before the wedding so I will post some when I get them.



The reception was very nice and their colors were blue and brown...hence our color coordinating outfits.

Cutest Set of Twins!

When I went to Arizona a couple of weeks ago I got to spend time with my sweet nieces. They are so darn cute and have such fun personalities. They absolutely love to have their picture taken and expect to see the picture on the screen after you take it. In fact, I could have posted about 50 pictures because it seems like they are the only ones I got pictures of.



I just love their blue eyes! They have two bottom teeth now and are just about ready to walk. They are celebrating their first birthday on the 5th. Happy Birthday girls!
