Just an Update

So life in thatcher has kicked back into full swing!! Whitney and I are both back in school and getting in the Nitty Gritty of it. Whitney should be graduating in October or November and is loving the fact that it is almost over! As for myself, well I still have a while. This is my second semester in nursing school and it's really busy! I had to quit my job at Verizon Wireless so I could focus on school. I'm there about 20 hours a week in lab and lecture and studying on top of that. This semester is pretty fun, I get to "stick" people alot, we are learning IV starts amongst other things. Not having a job makes it really nice, I don't have to worry about my schedule, and Whitney and I are able to have almost all our nights off to do whatever we want (as long as it's free because no job = no $)!
These pics are some of the last few of our summer, nothing really exciting, but we had. Blast.







We went hiking on Mt. Graham with some of our family, it was nice to get out of the heat for a change!







This is a funny story actually.. Whitney and I were out on a walk one night with Kelsey and Landon. I really don't know how it happened but Kelsey was walking in front of Whitney and stopped. Whitney wasn't really looking and rammed right into her! Apparently Kelsey has heels of steel because Whitney broke her pinky toe on the heel of Kelsey's foot. It sounds harsh but we were all in the middle of the road laughing histerically.






This is the progress that's been going on with the Gila Valley Temple! It has shot up quick!! The picture isn't that great but I took it while driving 60 miles per hour....no worries, Whitney held the steering wheel.

I'm jealous of you Whit! Good luck Troy! Enjoy the time you have together. We sure are. There will be plenty of time for full time jobs later. :-) We're not moving anytime soon. At least not for another year and even then if he gets accepted in AZ we may not be moving for a long time. We'll see. Did you know we are in Mesa now? We live on the mesa/gilbert border. So next time you're visiting troy's family or ahem...taking pictures at the temple CALL US! We're RIGHT THERE! Miss you guys!

Wow I can't believe the temple has shot up so quickly! They haven't even broken the ground for the Gilbert Temple yet. LAME!
All your adventures for nursing school make me so anxious for ours. Too bad you guys will probably be long gone by the time we are ready to apply.

Troy, Whitney, and Evie Elizabeth
