It's Official!!!

Wahooo!!! The weight has finally been lifted. Brian has officially passed his board exam and is now an official Physical Therapist. I have waited to see this face for 3 years!!! When ever we'd finish some difficult time, like finals, I'd always be so excited for him to come home and be done, but he'd always reply " I still have......a year of school....another semester....to pass my boards." BUT NO MORE!!!! We are officially done with tests!!! Thanks to all of you who prayed for Brian on this test. He was really nervous about it, the practice tests weren't going very well and the doom cloud overshadowed him for most of the last week. He's happier then I can remember seeing him now. Thanks to everyone for your support!

An update on where we are in life. We are currently living with Brian's parents until we accept a job offer. We had two potential offers and now are just working on one. Utah Valley Regional Hospital offered a full time position in acute care, but we ended up turning it down because Brain really feels like he need to be in Rehab. So our current offer is from The Shepard Clinic in Atlanta, GA. It's a one year fellowship opportunity working specifically with Spinal Cord injury patients, which is right up his alley. It's really his dream job....minus the salary. We really would love the opportunity to work there, but we have to meet our basic necessities, so Brian has been working with them on housing and such to see if we can make it work. We hope to hear from them sometime in the next week. So, we're just waiting right now. Hopefully I'll keep you all posted!

Finally! The Zoo

I have been totally absent lately. It's hard not living in your own place, partly because your routines just get all messed up. But I'm starting to get a little better at getting back to the things I use to do. Life has slowed down now that Julia's (Brian's sister) is married and almost all of the family has headed back to their respective homes. So now I have some time to Blog! Yea! Last week we went to the Zoo before Kylers cousins headed home. We had a great time. Kyler loved the Elephants and could have watched them all day.

The Rhino's were a little scary because they were so close, but he was brave.

All the cousins, minus Kennidee, plus Grandma and Kiki. Kyler even looked at the camera!

Kyler loved the Carousel, until it started moving, good thing I got the picture first!

On our way to ride the train it started to rain, hard! But that didn't stop the kids from having a blast, thanks Kiki for humoring Kyler, he loves puddles!
