Life is officially been so crazy since graduation! I thought things would slow down, but no luck. First graduation went great! I had a lot of family support and most of them were able to make it. Unfortunatly my wonderful older sis could not come but I am hoping for a visit this summer...hint hint! My sister Erin moved back from Vegas the day of gradution and was able to come and take a few pics. I started my job in the ICU not even a week after graduation. I love it. I am so happy to have good friends that I work with and that make this trasition a lot easier!

Abby got two parts in her school musical "The Wiz". She is a tornado dancer and an Emerland City Citizen. She has made the adjustment into Junior High look like a breeze. Continuing her straight A's. She has no absences and only one tardy for the whole year. She is a great kid, and I am so lucky to be her mom! We are off for our second pair of pointe shoes today. her foot will just not stop growing!

Hope is the same spitfire she has always been she is loving school this year and has become quite a good reader! She is a yellow belt in Karate with a white stripe(as of yesterday). She is doing well in dance and is excited to find out what her part will be in the recital which is "The Wizard of Oz".

Cody and I decided to buy a house. We were looking in Sandy when my mom decided she needed to sell her house. We are now partially moved in (hopefully done by the end of the week. The loan should come through the first part of Febuary and then life can settle a bit. We have a lot of remodeling we want to do to make this OUR house and are excited to embark on this project together. Hope is a little nervous to change schools but we are waiting until next year to do that. Cody is doing well at the electrical company he started with in the fall and has taken a part time job doing maintanence on a church downtown.

Well I have to study for my NCLEX, I take it in a couple weeks!!!!

Glad things are falling into place for you.
