So read at your risk.
Whelp, we finished another semester. We did really well too! So we decided to reward ourselves with a vacation to California were we stayed with our Fernandez friends, and went to my cousins wedding. Now I am starting my second to last semester TOMORROW, while Danny is playing (or he refers to it as working) with his friend Mike on his Sheep Dairy. He is so excited to have 4.5 months off, while I am excited to be done COMPLETELY in December. I took and PASSED my two required Praxis tests that I need in order to be certified to teach and am now trying to figure out what two more Praxis tests I should take in what subjects to be certified for middle school.
Well back to our California trip! Our friend Sara came to Rexburg on Wednesday to go to a teacher fair. She needed to go to Salt Lake on Friday to tour a school for a possible job, so I wake up go to work, run to my last class, and Danny drops her off at campus. We then proceed to drive to SLC, she visits the school for like 45 mins, and we drive back. We get home and get ready to leave to CA in the morning. The title we used for the week was ADVENTURE! We wake up get everyone in the car and leave. I am driving and the other 3 are sleeping. Danny wakes up and starts talking to me and I miss the exit I needed. Then in Wells, we were told our tires were incredibly worn down, (and they were), so we ended up purchasing 4 brand spankin' new tires. We get them on and get back on the highway to find feel and hear our car start to shake and go crazy. We go back, and they hadn't balanced one wheel right. So we get back on. We arrived! Sara and Juan were WONDERFUL to us! They took us to the redwood forest, to Santa Cruz Beach, Pier 39, Fisherman's Warf, Gheradelli Square, Boudin's Sour Dough Bread Factory, and China Town and Fort Point. Sara's mom took us to Costco to LOAD up on Boudin's Sour Dough bread and then Juan and Sara made a most delicious Carne Asada dinner! YUM! WE LOVED HAVING FRIENDS and cannot wait to play with them more in the future!
We got our two cows for the year and 25 chickens, and by the end of today we will have 6 little piggys! Another adventure.
We also celebrated our 1 year anniversary! We celebrated in style. We woke up, went to his parents house for biscuits made by their Georgian friends. Went and picked up pigs, went to campus with our Ellis friends, and Angie, built one side of our fence for our pasture with Josh, fed cows, went to the Dairy and milked cows and sheep, went back to the Mortensen's for some dinner, showered and went and played laser tag with Angie, Josh, Ben and Becca, and Derek and Starla. It was such a fun day, not nearly what I had in mind, but it was great fun! I can't believe a year has already passed and yet I can't believe it has only been a year. Until next time...
