If You Have a Blog... Update It!

The Hardest part about keeping a blog is the fact that you have to update it, and you should be doing that often. I am not sure what has happened in our life that you would want to know about, but none the less I will try to entertain you for a while.

Stewart is down to the last few days of freedom before his final year at ISU starts. I am excited for him to start, even though homework will take up most of his time. I remember starting my last year at ISU and how weird it felt knowing that I was almost done with my degree, this is an exciting time for Stew. Once he graduates from ISU, then it will be off to MED School… Scary/Exciting! I honestly am getting anxious to leave Pocatello, I am ready to move somewhere new…. one thing for sure though, I probably won’t be feeling this way come 259 days from now.

Last weekend Stewart and I went to his North Family reunion, it was here at a park in Pocatello. We had a nice time visiting with all his family on the North side… I enjoy getting to know Stewarts extend family, they are all great people. After the reunion Stewart and I went to Pocatello’s “Parade of Homes” (thanks to Baby Jay letting me hang with him) their theme was “A dream behind every door” indeed that was what it is for Stew and I… just a dream. The houses were big but all the craftsmanship was gorgeous! I fell in love with one home, mainly because I loved the kitchen and the very large pantry. Plus their kitchen counter did not roll around like mine does now (it’s a portable dishwasher), oh well it was fun just to window shop. Well I think that is all I have to say right now… I told you it was nothing to interesting. Wish Stewart the best of luck with his up-coming year of school, Bye!

MED SCHOOL APPLICATION UPDATE

Well Folks I am happy to say that Stewart and I are officially onto PHASE TWO of the MED SCHOOL APPLICATION PROCESS. Stewart, has heard back from three of the four schools he has applied to, each of them have given him permission to fill out theIr secondary application. Lucky for us, these applications are not as time consuming as was the first set, he has to write some very hard essays for them and of course we will have to shell out more money for them to accept them, but we count our blessings daily that we have made it this far. Things are going right on schedule; we are grateful for all the good people who have helped Stewart prepare himself for this whole med school application process. Things are going well, after he submits his second applications we will then sit and wait for the schools to make contact with us…again. Please keep us in your thoughts as we yet again begin the WAITING GAME. Ciao!!!

P.S. For those of you who don’t know and are curious to know, here are schools Stewart has applied to (In no particular order):

1. A.T. Stills, Kirksville Missouri
2. West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, West Virginia

3. School of Osteopathic Medicine (A.T. Stills), Mesa, Arizona
4. Midwestern University College of Medicine, Glendale Arizona

Twin Falls Temple Open House

Yesterday Stewart and I went to the Twin Falls Open House. We went with the singles ward which was fun. Stewart told me weeks ago that the Ward had chartered a bus to take us all there. I thought wow the ward must have a lot of $$$, but when we got to the church I saw a SCHOOL BUS and not a nice commercial bus…. It all made since after that. So GUESS WHAT, we got to ride a school bus to two hours there and two hours back. It was kind of fun, although I don’t remember my knees hitting the seat in front of me… either I have grown or the bus has shrunk.

The Twin Falls Temple is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! It was neat to go and see this amazing structure before it is dedicated. The details in the temple were incredible. I loved the windows with the state flower in them and the big painting of Shoshone Falls. I made the comment to Stewart as we left, that you could feel the spirit there as they guided us through and testified to us about the things that go on in the temple, but it was not the same as going into a dedicated holy temple where the spirit is there 100 times stronger. None the less I was and am grateful that I was able to go. It is exciting to be sandwiched between two new Temples, and having the opportunity to witness our Saviors love for his children on earth. This is an exciting time for the church and for church members in Idaho themselves. _________________________________________

What a GREAT Weekend

This past weekend Stewart and I did not have any plans…. I LOVED IT! It seems that for this whole summer we have been gone every weekend doing something with someone. It was a nice change of pace to finally just stay home and do whatever. So what did we do this past weekend you ask? Well Friday night Stewart and I went out to dinner at Chili's, the service was great and we the wait time was surprisingly short… even for our food.

Saturday, I woke up feeling ambitious and full of energy so Stewart and I went Wogging (that’s a cross between walking and jogging), and then I did what I have been meaning to do now since April….. I made 8 loafs of homemade Honey Wheat Bread. I am proud to say that they turned out scrumptious. While making bread Stewart and I learned a very valuable lesson… what’s that, you want to know ok let me tell you. Stewart and I needed some wheat flour to make our bread so we got out our wheat grinder and did so, after that we decided that since our grinder was out we wanted to grind our Flax Seed, no big deal right? WRONG!!! After just a few minutes of grinding the flax Seed, our grinder stopped. Of course, I got out the user guide to read how to fix my grinder, that’s when I saw the note (on the back mind you) stating this phrase: THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER GRIND! Yep, you guessed it flax Seed was on that list. Oh well, lesson learned the hard way. We did get our grinder up and working again after we cleaned it out. Fun times! The rest of the day was spent cleaning our home and for me SCRAPBOOKING!!! Stewart had to work so he drove around town in a bus all day.

Sunday, Stewart and I spent the morning relaxing and enjoying our time together. I will be sad when school starts because homework and other things will occupy his time more than his me. Oh well enjoy the good times when they are here and remember them when the pressures of school are on. Anyway, at 10:30am Stewart headed off to his church meetings and then I followed at 12:00pm. After church we just chilled at our house doing whatever we wanted… I of course scrapbooked more! It was a great weekend and I was honestly so sad to see it slip by so fast. Oh well, here’s hoping I make it to the next one. Bye!

Happy Birthday B.F.F.A.G.B.

HaPPy BIrtHdAY KiNdRA!!!Tomorrow is my Bestest friend Kindra’s B-day, she will turn the BIG 26, it is not that big of a number, I know because for the last 4 months I have had that number tagged to my profile to represent my age. Anyway, I just want to do a shout out to Kindra to tell her how amazing she is! I have never had a better friend then Kindra (besides Stewart… and a few others who are equal in rank to Kindra). Kindra has always been there for me and has become like a sister to me, she truly is an amazing person and has taught me so much about life and staying positive. We have been through a lot together and together we have overcome great challenges. Who would have thought that when we ended up being roommates our very first semester at collage that we would still be best friends today (we were roommates up until the time I got married last year). When we first met I was so homesick, that Kindra did not like me all that much, but once I got over my homesickness we became best buds. So in honor of Kindra’s Birthday and our many years of friendship, I thought it would be fun to post some old pictures of us back in the day and of course some current pictures as well. Kindra, thanks for being such a great friend, for always being there for me, and of course for not disowning me for getting married on you. Have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY, you deserve it!

These are some old pics of Kindra and I back in the college days

WARNING: The Following Pictures are of Kindra’s Vicious/Mischievous side! Enjoy:)

Yep thats me (Becky) in the sleeping bag... I think she left me there like that for at least 3 hours! Just Kidding, it was only 2 hours.
