Its been way to long since I posted anything, so once again I'm going to play blog catch-up.
First I'll start with our AWESOME trip to Cancun. We celebrated our 6th anniversary by taking our first "no kids" trip. I was seriously freaking out about leaving my kids home, but they had a blast with the grandparents and it was good for me and Brett to finally take a trip just the two of us. The best part of this trip was that it was all inclusive. We just laid by the pool reading books and drinking pina coladas, it was HEAVENLY!
We took some time out from all of our R&R to see some sites. Instead of going to Chitzen we went and saw the ruins at Coba. They were really neat and apparently are even bigger the Chitzen.
After Coba we went to and made pottery. The liked my pitcher so much that they put it on display.
One of the most exciting things we did on our vacation was when we went down in the shark tank. It was soooo cool, we even were able to feed them. The cage had small holes in it, and I was able to feed a shark a piece of meat right out of my hand.
Wet suits are definately not an attractive look on me.
The Aquarium had a a lot of really cool exhibits, like a shark tank where you could reach in and pet these giant nurse sharks, AWESOME!
The trip was great and we are already talking about where we are going for our next trip.
Over Memorial Day weekend we moved our family back to Idaho. We're going to miss Montana and all of the great friends we had there. Brett took a job at the hospital where he started all of his training. He's excited about working with all of the guys who had encouraged and mentored him.
We also bought a house south of Rigby and we are really excited about it. We looked at over 50 houses and just felt like this one was the best fit for us. The house is 4300 sq feet and is on an acre of land. The house is only 2 years old and looks brand new. We are so excited to make this new house our home and we love our new neighborhood and ward. I can't wait to get settled into our new house, and hopefully stay put for awhile.
