The Closing

Well, we are officially home owners now. It became official at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Kelli and I are having fun fixing and decorating and getting it ready to move into. We hope to be sleeping there this Saturday. There are projects galore, and as soon as I think I'm done, two more pop up. Welcome to home ownership I guess. This week we are packing, and Saturday, we are moving all furniture, and what we need to survive or whatever gets packed this week.

Apples and the Zoo

Hello all. Mom's parents have been in town the last week or so for a funeral. While they were here, they spent some time with their great grandchildren. We took a trip to the zoo and had fun letting the kids pet the animals. Matthew kept trying to pick the goats up, and they both referred to the goats as dogs. One day they will learn.
We spent most of our time in the children's zoo and didn't get to see much else. But the kids got to run around pet animals and they got some souvenir cups.

Mom also decided to take the family apple picking, which has been a custom for some time now. Matthew didn't go with us, I'm not sure he would have made it anyway. Eliza had a great time picking apple, off the ground that is. Kelli tried to teach her how to pick the apples the right way. We had fun and got sticky from the apples. Eliza got to know her California Great Grandparents a little better. And I'm sick of looking at all the apples that we picked. It will be a while before I eat another apple.

Clinicals, Missions, Houses

I have been going to clinicals for two weeks now. I must say that it has been a wonderful experience so far. I have seen all sorts of things from working in the ER and OR. I can't wait till I am done with school and I can do this all the time.
As some of you may know, Kelli and I are in the process of buying a house. We have hit a couple of bumps here and there, but now it looks like everything is working out. We are hoping to close on the 18th of this month.
I have become an online missionary through GMO (Global Media Outreach). I have been talking to people all around the world who have made decisions to follow Christ. It is really exciting and amazing that we are able to talk to people about the Gospel with out leaving our homes.
This has been a very busy time for us which is why I haven't posted anything lately. Eliza has learned some new words and has also learned how to throw temper tantrums. Yea!!!!!!
