Busy May!

May has been a busy month for us. We are trying to figure everything out for the move in 2 months and trying to get everything taken care of for Scott to start medical school in August! I can't believe it's already so close! We are flying out to DC next month to find housing, etc. It has been busy around here to say the least, so much has been going on I haven't had energy to blog. My little sister is graduating high school on Thursday, so I'm driving to Utah with the kids tomorrow. Then I have my citizenship appointment this coming Monday in Boise (pray for me!), so I'm going to be doing lots of driving. I decided I better blog right now before the end of the month!!!:)

The highlight of this month for Scott and I was going to a session in the Rexburg Temple for the first time! Can you believe it? The first time!!!! I can't believe it! It has been so hard to go to the temple since we've had both kids but we finally made it, I think last time we went was last November, way too long. It was such a special session and it was so amazing to be there and it seemed like I had gone to heaven for a few hours and I was able to recharge my batteries and return to my routine. I loved every second of the session, I was so awake and I had missed what we are able to do in the temple! I feel truly blessed to have these truth available in my life!

Last Thursday, Scott and I got offered free babysitting from a former T.A. I had last year (who is now adjunct faculty at BYU-Idaho) so Scott and I can go dancing! We hadn't gone Latin dancing in sooooo long! They have it on-campus every Thursday night. We decided that we are both out of shape! But we had the best time and realized how much we both LOVE dancing and hopefully when Scott is a rich doctor we both can take private lessons and do competitions together! It was fun to remember when we started dating we'd go to country and swing Wednesday nights at BYU-Idaho. At first, we were just friends and then I remember thinking: "but he is just dancing with me, he's not asking any other girl to dance, I wonder if we are together?" And then, he started holding my hand to go get a drink of water together...such fun memories...

I've had my dancing shoes for about 8 years now! It was fun to finally wear them again after about 4 years of them just sitting in my closet!

We both look so cheesy in these pictures, but after almost 4 years of marriage we are still very much in love!!!:)

We've been enjoying the nice weather the last few weeks (even though it has been raining this last week) We have been outside a lot and just enjoying our last summer in Idaho. I have to say that I have always loved Idaho summers and have fun memories of the summers I have spent here. The kids have been loving life because we are not stuck in the apartment all day long!

We had a fun Memorial Weekend, we went to visit Scott's grandpa Jensen's grave on Sunday. It is probably the last time we'll be there for a while. It was special to go and visit his grave and remember him and the sweet man that he was.

On Monday, we went to Blast Off. The kids had a BLAST!!!!!:) That place is so much fun and it is perfect for little kids. They played and played and played forever!

Scott quit his Olive Garden job last week, so he didn't have to work on Saturday. (He's been working at Qwest for the last 2 months during the week but decided to keep his job at Olive Garden on Saturdays, for some extra money. But now we get to have him on Saturdays for the last few months before medical school.) The kids have been loving being able to spend time with their dad.
