Life is wonderful! We spent the weekend looking after our friend's 3 year old little girl, Lily. It was such a blast and I was sad to let her go! It was a good taste of what awaits me in motherhood. Friday night we were home and settled by 9 pm and this was the conversation that I had with Gavin:
T: "Man, this kind of bites. It's 9 on a Friday night and we can't go out anywhere."
G: "This is what we'd be doing anyway, so what's the difference?"

T: "That's not the point! Now I can't go out even if I wanted to."

Totally irrational really, but funny nonetheless. I have an even greater respect for the sacrifice that mother's make. :) I also know that families are a gift from God and are the greatest source of true happiness in this life time.

In other news, we're headed to Boise for school next year. University of Idaho Law School is doing a satellite campus at BSU and we're going to go check it out! I love it here, but I'm excited for the opportunities that await us in Boise. Plus we'll be lots closer to family as my family is in Boise and Gavin's family is in Pocatello. I will definitely miss the people here, we are in an incredible ward and I LOVE my job and the people I work with.

Speaking of my job, I've had quite a few people ask me what I do, so I figured I should explain it. I'm not sure what my title would be, probably MA (medical assistant) but I'm currently working more as a doctor's "scribe", although that word is slightly archaic and makes me think of parchment paper and quills. Basically, I follow a doctor around all day long, into all the appointments, and while he talks to the patient and discusses things I'm feverishly trying to type it into the patient's chart and coordinate all the orders and prescriptions and referrals to specialists. It's actually been a great learning experience for me and I'm really grateful I've had this opportunity. By the way, Michelle, if Joey every cuts his finger again tell him he's got 8 hours to stitch it up. I asked Dr. Hall when I got to work the next day. Can be debatable I suppose, depending on where the cut is, but 8 hour limit is what a lot of doctors will say.

Gavin recently had a killer intramural basketball team. They played in the championship game but lost by a couple points. It was too bad. But it was a fun season. I had fun in the bleachers with the other wives. We even planned an end of the season basketball banquet. It was a lot of fun. I love watching Gavin play basketball--he's just as selfless on the court as he is off.

Spring break was a lot of fun. Gavin was in Boise for a Foreclosure clinic and I had to stay and work M-Th and then headed to Boise. We watched Alice in Wonderland (I loved it and would totally recommend it!) and went shooting. Here's some pictures from shooting.

Matt (brother) and Amanda (his wife). Matthew knows so much about guns and we had a blast that afternoon. Thanks for taking us!

Me and Gavin! I was looking right into the sun so I'm super squinty eyed.

My dad, he also set up this adventure

Amanda and Jenna. Spencer, you totally missed out!

And the best part of going home was OLIVIA SUE! She is my niece and ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE, just smiling and happy all the time. Gavin and I both adore her.
