Just a bit of a life switch!

Just when I get into a rhythm my life likes to make a massive shift and turns me inside out and upside down! (don't you love that phrase my friend Christal says it a lot and seriously it totally hits home with me!)

Thanks to the lack of $$$$ flowing into our household these days thanks to the full on expenses of medical school I have decided to take the time out of my CRAZY busy life and finish up my bachelors degree. I am just a hop skip and a jump away from completing it. I have for years planned on graduating from BYU but since that doesn't allow me the privilege of financial aid and scholarships I will be surprisingly finishing up at the good old BYU-I. My focus will be on family and children in a sociological and psychological setting in prep for my masters which i will complete once Brian finishes his doctorate. That is unless school just goes GREAT and I dive into it sooner. (this I highly doubt because I have other plans or well hopes for using my free time!!!)

In two weeks we will all be going out and shopping for school supplies for our four students, crazy we will all be in school!

This week (well part of it, more like a day and next week thankfully a few more days) we are lucky to be marking off one of our bucket list items--- Host out of town visitors. This is the best because it is the girls two favorite visitors, Grandma and funny Uncle Keith. They keep their photos next to their beds every night so it is uberwonderful to have them here!

Brian had his graduation this past Tuesday and it was a wonderful ceremony. My mom had the privilege of sitting next to me and watching me fight back the tears as I sat a super proud wife of one amazing husband.
(Please note I will now begin to brag about my amazing spouse and all his wonderfulness so you are welcome to skip to the next paragraph!) Brian worked so hard this year and really focused more than he has ever had to in the past. And thankfully that ended up leaving a lot of time helping out around the house, playing with the kids, and taking care of his sometimes needy wife. He didn't usually have a lot of time, he made time. And it paid off because his official transcript was posted to his med school transcript and reads * 4.0 class rank #1! Yes your read it right class rank 1. I was so proud that his hard work paid off. Of course the Lord knows we need our humility thus there is no mention of his rank at graduation, or with an award, or even with a tassel. Instead we know it is there on his transcript and will pay off when it comes time for residency picking. For now we know and I get to brag, because that is what I like to do. (isn't that one reason to blog?)

And Last but not least My dear sweet husband is back in school starting monday for his four year adventure in medical school. Thus my return to blogging. I just don't waste time when he is home on things i can't do with him snuggled up next to me. However thanks to our new need for yet MORE technology we will be the proud owners of a laptop come August once we figure out what we want/need. Hopefully this will mean that i will be posting more regularly. (I do not commit to any real posts until school starts because summer is way to fun!)

So we are busy busy busy getting ready for school and cramming as much family time in as possible. And unfortunately for you all I have not photographed our summer well. Instead we have simply enjoyed our time without trying to document it anywhere else but our hearts!

Hope everyone is having a good summer.... we will check back in soon!
