Big News!!

Well we have finally figured life out!
Big News #1: Adam was offered a few internships, and after praying about it for a while and deliberating, we decided to take to internship in Vancouver, Washington this summer. We will live with Mom and Dad Brewer and we should get there April 14th and stay until the first week in July. We are excited!
Big News #2: Adam got accepted to ISU for grad school in Pocatello! We are also really excited about this. We'll head down there sometime the end of July and get all settled in before Adam starts August 27th. Then we anticipate living there for the next three years... a good chunk of our lives!
Big News #3: We bought a Mobile Home! (Yeah, I know, it's not exactly the thing you'd think we'd brag about...) But it's in really good condition, the park it's in is small and well-kept and it really is a good neighborhood. When we were weighing our options about where we were going to live down in Pocatello, we came across some mobile homes and found out that we could save a lot of money by buying one rather than renting while we were there. So when we found one for only $6,600.00 that had been redone inside and was in such a nice area, we took it! We'll take pictures next time we're down and post them up so everyone can see.
And other than that, life has just been busy getting everything ready to go. I echo Hoku when she said that all change is preceded by chaos. Adam has finals coming up, we're having a yard sell tomorrow, we're packing up and then moving stuff down, and then Adam graduates, we clean the heck out of this apt, and then we ditch out for a kind of transient summer! Hope William does ok with all the change...
Here's just some random good pictures from lately:





Oh, and P.S.
Before....

And After!!

Let me know what you think, and which way I look better! I want a vote :)

Catch-Up

Playing a little catch-up here, so keep up!

This year Adam and I decided to take advantage of the formal Valentines dance at BYUI. It was so much fun to be able to spend an evening all dressed up and dancing with my hubby ;) We danced the night away while William slept at home with a babysitter (a young woman from our ward). Then we went to get ice-cream at G's Dairy (yum!!). It really was an enchanted evening for us to get out on a real formal date, just the two of us. Then, for actual Valentine's Day, I set up a nice dinner and sparkling cider rasberry smoothy thing, and ... we ate it :)


We also got to go down to Utah for President's day weekend and visit family!!! It was a lot of fun so see everyone and just hang out. (sorry we didn't take more pictures!




A new development: My sister Michelle and I started a craft blog together! It's just in the makings, but we're going to update it fairly often, so check it out sometime!

Another development: William finally rolled over again. For those of you who don’t know, William was rolling over fine around 3-4 mo. Then after Christmas (where he got 0 tummy time for like two weeks) he forgot how. He just couldn’t anymore! And he became a great sitter at 5 mo. So he got less tummy time and just hated it. But he is finally showing interest in it again and can scoot around it a circle  So, there’s hope again! Yay!

Last thing, we're preparing for moving in April! We’re seeing our last full month in Rexburg  Still don’t know our destination, which is scary, but we know it will work out and we’re excited for a change!
