Pictures Galore, and our "Final Resting Place"

First, the pictures from the Bean Museum that I promised the other day. It really was pretty cool! The kids want to go back so Daddy can see it all! I haven't had the heart to tell them that Daddy will probably enjoy it about as much as a trip to the dentist, animal non-lover that he is...

These next few are just pictures from a few days ago (the 25th, I think) that were particularly cute.

Last night (Thursday) we got to meet up with several of my roommates from BYU days. That was so fun! Kimberlee's complex has an amazing clubhouse that she was able to reserve for us, and it was fun to see everyone! We missed everyone that wasn't with us! I haven't seen any of these particular roommates since graduation, almost 6 years ago! Katy wouldn't let me set her down for this picture, and the "group" picture from our camera didn't turn out - Susie and Russ got cut off! Hopefully Susie's camera got a good one...

TODAY (the 28th) was a very long day! Here are Reilly and Jaina playing their v-readers this morning while Jeremy worked on his business plan that's due soon (that's all he does in his spare time these days) and I tried to get Katy to nap after cleaning the kitchen.

We spent the afternoon and evening in Orem at a graveside service for Jeremy's great-Uncle Robert. His Grandpa Jim was able to make the trip from Colorado (thanks to a great home teacher that brought him). It was really nice to see him. The last time was about a year and a half ago. Here are the kids all ready to go.

A real smile. It's hard to get one of those these days for the camera.

Here is a picture of us with Grandpa Jim at the church afterwards. We wish he could have stayed longer!

And Jeremy already mentioned this on Facebook, but we finally got an "answer" about where we're supposed to be. We've been trying to make it work here in Provo, but even though Jeremy has the option of staying, it just doesn't seem the right fit for us. The other night in the temple he finally felt that we should move back to the Mesa/Gilbert area and start our own practice. It is a little scarier than associating somewhere, and will be a lot of work, but we know it will be the best decision for us in the long run. I really hate the heat of that area (even hotter than our hometowns) but it will be worth it to be close to family, and other than the heat, we like that area a lot. So in about 2 weeks, we'll be wrapping things up in Utah and moving home. We'll be there for a few days before Jeremy, Katy and I travel to Iowa for graduation, then he'll be staying another 3 weeks to study for and take his last set of Boards. The kids and I will be staying in Pima until we find a place to live (and a little income, since it will be a while before he can get licensed) in the Valley. Hopefully it will all go smoothly!
