And now for a long overdue update!

The last month+ has been filled with both great and not so great.

Nick enjoyed his 3 weeks with no school. I was very proud of him for really relaxing and enjoying his time off! We had a lot of fun together. During the last week off, he spent a whole week at my mom's house helping with some repairs. Then we enjoyed a fun weekend with all of the family there while Nick and Joe tiled around mom's tub. Nick learned a lot and the results look great!
Uncle Floyd also took us and Jenn's family to Antelope Island where we enjoyed seeing lots of animals, and were also attacked by scalp-biting bugs. We were all itching for a week!
The bummer part of that week was when we got a call from the firm Nick was supposed to work for. It turns out that they pushed his start date back until 2010. Yikes! So, we are left with the choice of finding something to do for a year and hope that they still have a position for him next year, or try to find a new position somewhere else now.

While Nick started the Bar exam prep course, I finished my last week of teaching. I already had my classroom mostly cleaned up, so all I had to do was find something to entertain the few kids who actually showed up. Thursday of that week was graduation. It was really strange to dress up and go as a teacher instead of a student. An interesting experience. That night was the senior all-night party. It turned out okay, but I had to work the next day and ended up being awake for 31 hours straight. NOT my idea of fun.
During June, Nick has been attending class every day, studying, and applying for clerkships for the next year (we could use some extra prayers that he'll get one). I have been sleeping in, watching movies, reading books, visiting family in Price, visiting friends & hanging out with my dad in Grand Junction, painting our apartment, catching up on housework, and actually cooking!
