We are finally done with managing, yay! I seriously feel I have had the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. No more rude, whiny and unitelligent tenants bugging me at all hours of the day. I must say though that is was a blessing while it lasted, I mean we didn't have to pay rent and I got to work at home so i guess I can't complain too much, however, putting up with all the stuff I had to I think I have a little bit of complaining rights huh?
I really like our new apartment, although it is smaller, it is nice and Travis put a lot of hard work into it so it makes it that much better. We really love our ward here even though it is small, and McKenna seems to be adjusting well even though she misses her freinds in our old ward. We went to a play group the other day and she just had so much fun playing with all the kids. She is the only girl out of like 5 boys, but she doesn't mind one bit.
Travis is the most wonderful husband, he does so much, he is like superman. I don't know how he finds so much time to do everything he does but somehow he completes twice the amount of things in a day that an average person would. He is amazing and I feel so blessed to be married to him. I am so proud of him considering how he just graduated from BYU...yay!
He is so happy to be done with school as am I. He graduated with a bachelors degree in Chinese and a minor in business. His chinese is amazing and he definately has a talent for understanding and speaking the language. His parents came down from Oregon for the graduation, and my family came up from Idaho and other places around Utah. We were so glad they came to show their support for Travis and are grateful they were here. We all went to crackerbarrel for brunch after since the graduation was at like 8 in the morning. It was fun to be with everyone though. It was a really crazy time with graduation and moving and all, but we survived. We are so grateful to our family for helping us move, it saved us a lot of stress and time.
It was a really good graduation ceremony. Elder Nelson spoke which was nice, but Elder Uchtdorf was there and it was such a good talk, I loved it. I am always so amazed at their abilities to speak in public and reach the audience on such a personal level. Travis parents took us out to a nice dinner after his commencement ceremony which was the night before the graduation. It was a fun weekend. McKenna loved playing with all her cousins. She really needs a permanant playmate. I guess we will have to start working on that.....and no we aren't making an announcement.:)
Travis is now working for a translation company where he translates documents from chinese into English. He has been working there for a while, but he got promoted to a manager over the chinese department and so we are excited for that. He loves his job, but is thinking next year he will go to law school. We are in for the long haul.
I am so proud of him and his accomplishments and I know I am just beginning to see the great things he will go on to do.
I am loving life just spending time with my family and having the freedom to do whatever I want when I want.
Travis surprised me the week after he graduated and said we were going to Hawaii, so we just back this week and finished setting up our apartment. Hawaii will be a whole different blog so prepare yourselves for that...lol.
Anyway, I can't wait for this summer because I am ready to not be tied down with anything and enjoy the many activities we have going on. Yay for warm weather! I can't wait to hang out with all my family in July when they come down for Abbey's wedding. It will be so much fun!
Anyway, I am glad I am all caught up in what has been going on with us lately. No we didn't fall off the face of the earth as some of you might think, we have just had a lot going on.
