Big Decisions and a Nice Vacation

Well once again there is some big decision making going on in our home. Chill has spent much of the month of January traveling around applying for residency. He went to Portland for an interview the first part of January and then to LA to take a test. When he got back from there he packed up and was off to Minnesota. He got back on the 17th and the next day we packed our bags, jumped in the car and were headed for Arizona . We made a stop in St. George to visit Grandma Gen and Grandpa Blaine. Chill, his dad, and brothers golfed on Monday and then Monday evening we headed to Arizona. I was finally able to see Hoover Dam. I had never seen it before and it is pretty cool. Chill actually ended up cancelling his interview in Arizona, but decided we should go anyway to take a little vacation and visit my sister. We had so much fun and the weather was awesome. We were able to swim, shop, go to the Wild Life Zoo, go to the park, eat lots of yummy food, and visit our friends Nick and Morgan. It was so fun to spend a few days with Nat, Jared, Lexi and Logan. They were so sweet and let us stay at their house. We spend Friday night with Nick and Morgan. We went to Taco Bell (one of our favorites) and then Nick took us on a tour of the Law School he attends at ASU. We went back to their apartment and talked while Nick and Chill played some games. We spent the week in Arizona and then it was back to St. George where we spent another night at Chill's grandparents. We got back late Sunday night. It was a nice family get away. Carson did so good in the car which made the trip go much smoother than I had thought. So now that we are back home it is time to decide where it is that we want to be next year. It is narrowed down to Utah or Minnesota, but our minds change daily. When we decide I'll let you know.
