An Update

Just wanted to let you know of a few things that are new with us. =)

First, and best of all, school is out for the summer, and we are lovin' our seven week break!

Second, I just got hired at Great Harvest as a cashier/customer service rep, which I am super excited about. (I start on Tuesday.) This should be a great job for me, as well as something I can continue to do until we leave for further schooling next fall. I don't know how often I'll get to work with Travis, but I'll be happy to whenever I can!

Third, Travis has signed up to take the MCAT on September 3. More details will follow after that as to where we might be applying for school...

Fourth, as my father-in-law stated on his blog, we recently got to meet Elder Hales. We were touring the Joseph Smith Memorial Building when Travis saw him walk out of a nearby restaurant. To our surprise, he came our way, and not wanting to miss this awesome opportunity, I asked him if I could shake his hand. He replied "Of course" and then proceeded to shake all of our hands and allow us to introduce ourselves to him. He is a very sweet, genuine man, who has a very caring spirit about him. We were all happy to meet this apostle of God.

And finally, we just got back from a wonderful trip to Wyoming to see our sister Cassie and her family and to tour some Church History sites, as well as another trip to Utah to drop our brother Tyler off at the MTC. More posts on these to follow soon, so keep checking back!

Thank you so much for asking to if you could shake Elder Hale's hand otherwise we probably would've missed out on meeting an Apostle of the Lord.

Um, you do know that Eric works in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, right? He could have taken you to the employee cafeteria for lunch (good food, and not very expensive). At the very least you all could have visited for a few minutes.
Oh well, next time!

We visited everyone in Oakley last week. While we were there everyone else started making their plans to come and visit this week. Oh well! We missed all of the out-of-towners, but we were able to visit with Mootie so that was good.
Have a nice visit!

Are you guys going to transfer from BYUI? Is Travis done with his undergrad work or just transferring to another school to finish it? If you are going to transfer, hopefully we can get together before you guys take off! :)
