Three Months Down, Twenty-Four to go

Oh, look! Its US again! Well, just so you know, we have successfully made it through the first three months of P.A. school! Since this program is 27 months long, we oficially only have two years left, possibly only one year left here in sunny AZ. Brennen is hoping to get some rotations in Las Vegas and Idaho. Arizona is getting better, but we are anxious to be back with our families. Speaking of being back with our families, we were able to go back to Idaho for about a week between blocks of school. We were able to spend a lot of time out on the boat and with family and friends. It was a blast and just the pick-me-up we needed. We even bought a new car while we were up there! Wooo! Its had to believe we have been here for three months already! I still get homesick a lot, but Mesa is beginning to feel more like home. It helps that I'm working a lot and don't have a lot of time to just sit around and brood over how much I miss the trees and clean air of Idaho.

Brennen has been liking school. Although he is not impressed with the curriculum. But he's still loving everything he's learning about. He works hard every day and is studying from dawn to dark. I'm so proud of him!

Lately I have just been working like a mad-woman! Things have gotten a little better since I have been designated to train the new guy. I am just happier teaching! And this week I got my benefits package in the mail! Haha, I know it sounds silly but it really felt like Christmas getting that package. I can go to the dentist and eye doctor and get all my check-ups taken care of, and I should probably go see a dermatologist too.

This post has taken me a while to write because there just isn't a lot that's super exciting going on right now. Monday, Labor Day, we went to our very first Diamondbacks Game! It was so fun. And its in an indoor field with air conditioning and everything! Brennen and I also got a calling as the new CTR 7 teachers! At least the Church has found a way to put my degree to good use! We have about 15 kids in our class which is actually really crazy, and the first Sunday they were awful! But they hand had a regular teacher for about two months, so now we have to establish a routine and discipline.

Well, here are some pictures of what's been going on here! Sorry, still posting from the phone since its our only source of internet!
