Busy summer!


Well we've been crazy busy, but we've been having tons of fun! A couple months ago I wrote that we had a girl living with us, well she's back and she is now our foster daughter. Her name is Ruby, she is 27, and she has mental disabilities. It's pretty entertaining to see people's faces when I introduce a 27 year old hispanic girl as my foster daughter! I think it's a really good thing for us and for her. It's just another new adventure in our life. We're going to finish our basement and have a little apartment thing down there for her to have her own space. She's way excited! In June we had Rick's grandpa's funeral, it was up in Idaho. It was really interesting to learn about Rick's grandpa and meet alot of his extended family. All of his siblings and families were there, and I know that it's a funeral so it's not suppose to be fun, but being there with everyone and spending good family time was way fun! Then the beginning of this week we went up to salt lake for my family renuion. All my brothers and their families were there, and it was so fun! We all just hung out, went to the Bees game, played games and just enjoyed being together! (Not to mention eat delicious (not so healthy) food) The end of this month me and Rick are going to go to Colorado for a Rockies game. We love going to baseball games... so fun! And then a little up date on everything else.... I got into the nursing program.. yay yay yay!! It starts Aug 25. I'm so excited to be done with pre reqs but way nervous to actually start the program. But I'm way excited to start learning everything and actually start to be a nurse. I've been dreaming of it for so long, it will be nice to actually do it! Rick's going to be going to school full time and working. He's going to be crazy busy! I'm so proud of him! It's going to be so weird to have seperate lives from each other this semester. Last semester I took him to school, and stayed with him because I was his note taker, then brought him home and everything. But this time he'll drive himself, have a different note taker, and I'll see him when we both get home for the night. It's going to be crazy, and I'm sure I'll be nervous for the first little while till we get our routine down and I can trust that he'll be okay. But we both need to enjoy the rest of the summer before all that insanity begins. Rick loves driving his truck, and is getting way comfortable doing it. So overall, we're doing great and having adventures like always!!
