Well...Here is the summer in a nut shell!

Well during the first part of the summer nothing was really different. Just work and school! On June 19 I flew home to Utah for a much needed visit. Bryce stayed in Philly for a week by himself so he could study for his boards (huge stressful test). He then joined me in Utah and was there for two weeks. So I was there for three and he for two. We had so much fun. I missed my family, Utah, home, and the Cabin so much. I hadn't even seen Melissa's baby boy yet. What a stinkin' cutie just like her other two kids. We were also there for his blessing. Thanks for waiting sis! I got to see how pregnant Becca was since when we left in January she wasn't pregnant yet. Can't wait for that cute boy to come. We got to go through the temple for Mckay's first time since he leaves on his mission to Italy on Sept. 3rd. Bryce got to baptize his little brother Carter and his Dad confirmed him. I was home for both of my brothers birthdays and one nephews. We went golfing, boating, to the cabin, fourwheeling at the sand dunes, horse back riding, bike rides, worked at the dental office, (Bryce that is, Dr. Searle. I am so proud of him.) but most of all we got to spend time with our families which is what we miss most living out here in Philly. Don't get me wrong, we do love where we live, grateful that Bryce is going to school, and having a great adventure on our own in the East but it's hard being away from family and home. Since the return of Utah Bryce has yep you guessed it, gone to school. I have recently gotten a new job. I finally got my PA certification. Yeah!! So instead of teaching preschool I got a job at an elementary school and am a Kindergarten teacher. I am excited to have my own class with a little older kids and of course for the pay raise as well. Today was the second day of school and it's pretty crazy but going really well. I have quit the variety of races in my class. I love that experience cause I just didn't have that my two years in Utah. All my students are good, so far. I will keep you updated on my entertaining kidergarten stories. Bryce has been working on patients at his school for the second half of the summer and will do that for the rest of his schooling. He is doing a great job and likes it a whole lot better than the lecture and book work. We are doing great, so much in love, and happy. Sorry it took so long to update. I will be better. Thanks for your comments I love hearing from you. I will reply as much as I can. It's hard since I don't have the internet. I will also post pictures soon. Miss you all!!
