the past few days

1. Celebrated Father's Day. I talked to my wonderful Dad on the phone and James talked to his wonderful Dad on the phone. James got a candybar at church, being a future father (not near future yet).

2. Watched The Bachelorette with my girls. We all like Drew the best, from Scottsdale, AZ!

3. Went to the temple with the lovely friend Talia. We were able to do initiatories and endowments for two family names. It was a wonderful experience. Afterwards we enjoyed lunch at a trendy place called Liberty Market. I had the Best Chicken sandwich with a side of pasta salad.

4. Babysat Rex. So cute. We watched the Beatrix Potter DVD (Peter Rabbit) I bought for my future kiddos. You can hear the theme music in the background of the video. Also in the video, he has a toy stethoscope he keeps putting around his neck and he keeps trying to open the door and wave goodbye haha. So cute!

He's doing baby aerobics! Haha.

5. Our good friend Kent & Cim came over last night to drop off this cute candygram to wish James good luck on his first boards exam today. They are so sweet! James was really appreciative.

The candygram reads: James, We can think of 100 Riesens (reasons) why you're gonna rock the boards! Remember, you are a Smartie(s)...and before you know it, the tests will be over, and life will be Bliss. Best of luck! -Kent & Cim.

6. Last night we got together with our med student friends/wives and the boys administered Priesthood blessings to one another for the big exam tomorrow and for the rest of this week (James has his MD boards tomorrow and DO on Thursday). Dessert was included of course, but I think the best part was feeling the Spirit of the Lord in the room when the blessings were administered. So thankful to have such wonderful friends to help support each other during the crazy life called MED SCHOOL.

Here are the boys two years ago right when they first started medical school. They have come so far! I am so proud of you James, Than, Chad, Trevor, and Luke! You will do great on  boards!!!!

It will probably be a week or two before my next blog post (besides our anniversary blog post) since we will be going on vacation! Stay tuned for that awesome adventure coming up!
