Fantasy Football

I was privileged to spend my night last night witnessing the drafting of Alan's Pharmacy Class Fantasy Football Team. All I can say is out of control! Me and Dani were quite entertained as we watched our husbands frantically pick players. Is anyone else dreading football season...

No Place Like Home!

Although we are loving our new life in Pocatello, I think we will always call SLC "home." We are looking forward to heading to SLC this weekend for Labor Day. The main reason we are going is for one of my best friend's wedding shower. And we conveniently managed to plan a trip to Heber with some of our friends as well. We are looking forward to boating, relaxing, and listening to Alan's friends tear each other apart...all in good fun! Can't wait to see all these people...

See you soon guys!

White Coat Ceremony

Last week Alan had his white coat ceremony for Pharmacy School. It was so fun to see Alan receive his coat and start his journey in the medical field. I am so proud of him! Although, I'm still trying to accept the idea that we are going to be here for four years. Alan keeps telling me that I can't think of it that way or I am going to go crazy. I am beginning to think he is right!

A Walk Down Memory Lane...

On Mondays and Fridays I work at the middle school in Shelley, Idaho doing Psychosocial Rehabilitation with a 6th grader. It has been a pretty nostalgic experience walking down the halls and eating lunch in the cafeteria. The best part of my day today consisted of three students asking if I was an eighth grader. I'm not sure I should take that as a compliment!

We Made It!

We are now official residents of Pocatello Idaho! We moved last Friday and I vowed to myself that I will not be moving again for a long time. Moving is a lot of work and not to mention expensive! We are so grateful to our families and friends who helped us out so much. Pocatello is definitely a lot different than Salt Lake but we are slowly adjusting to small town life and are embracing the field and railroad tracks in our backyard. Alan starts Pharmacy School on Monday and I started my job last week as a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Specialist. We are excited to start this four year adventure!

24th of July

This post is a bit late but we had a fabulous 24th of July. We started out the day with breakfast in the canyon with my family. There is nothing better than eating in the canyon in the summertime.

We went boating at Deer Creek with Blake and Michelle. As always, we had a blast. We ended the day with a barbeque and spent the night in Heber.




They think they are so cool!!!

Couchless

We were very fortunate that Alan's mom had an extra couch and love seat that she gave us when we got married. We decided to buy some new couches for our home in Pocatello. A couple nights ago we decided to post our old couch on KSL to see if we could make some money. Alan posted the couch at 11:00 at night. The next morning I was up early getting ready to head to Pocatello for a job interview. I got a call at 8:00 from a 208 number which is the area code in Pocatello. I assumed it would be someone calling about one of the jobs I applied for. To my surprise it was someone calling about our posting on KSL. She said she wanted to come look at the couches that morning because she was headed to Pocatello. Turns out she recently got a job as the women's soccer couch at ISU and was moving that day. She came over, sat on the couch, and we helped her load them into her moving van. I'm still in shock about the coincidence of the situation. Seriously, what are the chances that she would be moving to the same place as us. And of all places...Pocatello! Hilarious! So basically I'm sold on KSL and looking for any item in our house that I can sell. Next item on the list...our microwave!

This is how we will be watching TV for the next week until we move!
