FINALY an Update!!

Yes yes, believe it! I am FINALLY updating the blog. I have been so slack lately, but with good reason. We have been BUSY BUSY BUSY! Between a trip home to Charlotte to the parents and Mike and I going up to New York, we have not had too much time to spare.



So New York, you are probably wondering why Mike an I traveled on up to New York.....Mike graduates from the Nursing Anesthia Program on July 30th (YAY!). So right now we are in the "trying to find a job" period. There have been quite a few possibilities of work in the Upstate New York area, so that is where we are looking. We have really been captured by Upstate New York by its beauty, friendliness, money, schools, and overall Good Living. Mike has had 2 interviews in Upstate New York---one being in Rochester, New York and one in Watertown, New York. I can happily say that we have accepted a job, but I am not officially announcing the job yet until papers are SIGNED. Some of you already know, other dont. So for those of you who dont, you are just gonna have to wait.

Moving on! So this Watertown, NY job paid Mike and I's way up to New York this past weekend, so we drove to Charlotte, dropped our girls off at my parents and heading to the Upstate. We were able to spend the whole weekend up there and really got to enjoy ourselves with no kids, and a PAID getaway. We drove all around Watertown, and decided to head on up into Canada b/c we could! We got to see the 1000 Islands area which is an absolute gorgeous area! We traveled into Ontario, Canada where we went
to a town called Kingston, which really is a fun little town. We thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the days we traveled down to Palmyra, New York to visit the Smith Farm and the Sacred Grove (a BIG part of our church history for some of you who might be wondering). It was awesome to see and such a neat experience to walk through the Sacred Grove where Joseph Smith had the First Vision.




So that about sums up our weekend in New York. We are excited to FINALLY be done with school and move on with our lives. We are so excited to see what the next few months has to bring for us! Bring on graduation, the move, and our new life!!!
