We're Back!

Well, as you can tell if you look back at the last time there was a post it has been a while since we posted anything. The last post was done by Drew, and although I am sad to report that we still shop at Walmart, he is still happy to talk to anyone who wants to hear about it.

Since our last post a few things have happened in our lives. Drew graduated from Boise State University.

We moved back to Idaho Falls. For a few months we lived in an apartment in Shelley. We learned we were not really country people, which I think we knew before but had to give it a try anyway. As soon as we could we bought a house near downtown Idaho Falls.

The house was built in 1927 and had a few major repairs. The first big project was the bathroom. Which looked like this:

Yep, this was it! There was a toilet and this tub handheld shower combination. We thought we could just take the tile off the wall, but they were kind enough to cement it to the lathe and plaster. This meant when Drew took the tile off, the whole wall came with it! For about 6 months our bathroom looked about like this:

But in the end, it has turned out awesome. We owe a lot to my father-in-law who has been an amazing help and we couldn't have done this adventure without him.

In May, I graduated from Idaho State University. No pictures here because that following Monday I had foot surgery. The recovery has been long and hard. You never really know how much you rely on your feet, until you can't use one of them.

Since his graduation, Drew has been working for the Idaho National Lab here in Idaho Falls. He is loving it there, and he gets to travel to cool places like San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

I am now working at an elementary school. I teach fifth grade and have loved it so far! I'm sure that there will be many exciting stories to tell soon.

Life has had its ups and downs, but overall it has been good. Hopefully we can be a lot more consistent about writing and let only a few days go by, not a few years!
