Car Ride

After packing up Nebbie and Dad's truck and small trailer, or should I say stuffed, we headed off to make the drive from Idaho to Missouri. To brake up the driving, we stopped in Wyoming and

rented a van to go see some sights. Don't tell the rental place, but we took the cat with us, and then erased all evidence of him being there before returning it.

It always interests me to see where Teddy is going to end up in the car while in transit. When in the car he always insists on being on someone's lap, usually the driver's, even though he is anti-touching all the rest of the time. In the rental he seemed to like the cup holder in between the two captain seats. It was pretty funny when he sat on the map on top of the cup holder and slide off at a stop.

Farwells

The only thing sad about moving to a new place is the good people we leave. Josh and William have gotten to be great school buds. We wish Josh and Nicole luck in moving to Pennsylvania for school and wish all good things with the upcoming addition to the family!

William's Graduation

It's official, William now has a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology, I'm so proud! For those who don't know, we are now in Missouri. William has been admitted into the veterinarian program at Mizzou. It is a four year program, so unless he decides to do a double major it should take him four years to finish up and get his degree here.

Both sides of our family were able to come. It was great being able to see them and hang out for a time. We sent some of our stuff back with the Meyers side...and good thing too because it was really close getting it all to fit in the trailer to go back to Missouri :). Thank goodness we were able to sell most of the big furniture we wanted to, we have been extremely blessed.

BIG JUDD'S

We figured that a Rexburg experience that everyone should have is Big Judd's. So William and I thought it would be good to go to when family came into town for graduation. What we didn't know was that there are two in close proximity to Rexburg. In looking it up on the web, we ended up going to the wrong one. We should have talked to one of our local friends to get the right place.


Daniel ate the whole thing while four of us shared another. Can you believe that he said he was still hungry after finishing it? Teenage boys...I guess we can blame it on his angel chiseled body (at least that's what the boys tell him).

We're Professionals

We spent a lot of time in the clubhouse the last couple of weeks while William was in school, that is when he wasn't studying finals. We thus have become professionals at pool.


Since most of our stuff was packed away in boxes, and the only other thing to do was watch tv during the snowy weather, this was a good way to pass the time.

William was showing me how to hop the que ball, I'm not very good at it. There was an impressive move where William 'purposely' had the que ball ride the border and jump back down to hit one of his balls in the corner pocket. I just had to settle for hopping it off the table or hitting the unintended ball every time I attempted it. Even with my lack of hop, I am a formidable adversary.

Teddy's Angry Eyes

Meet the Pattens

Meet James, Jamie, Bob, and Ella. We have known Bob and Jamie since the semester William and I started dating, William and Bob were roomies.


Jamie asked us to babysit one night, so William and I took on the challenge. They say the best form of birth control is babysitting...with this family I don't agree. We had them over for dinner one time and the kids ate the spinach salad and didn't want dessert.


Babysitting was great, even if James missed his mommy for a bit. We went over for a waffle lunch with them and James started crying because he thought mom was going to leave him again.
