so long moscow!

first things first....

i have to give a shout out to my sweet cheeks who graduated with a MASTER'S degree in accounting last week. i couldnt be more proud. and i couldnt be more excited to close this school chapter of our lives. im sure years down the road ill look back and miss it, but for now, im so happy that we have both graduated from college. awesome stuff i tell ya.

 

fancy master's robes....

 

 

 

jared and i are both so blessed to have families that support us. both our parents came up to moscow for graduation AND to help us pack up and move to boise! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

 

 

graduation was long. 3 hours long. but we survived thanks to some new toys, the ipad and treats. after graduation, we got to enjoy a complimentary lunch in the building where jared completed all his master degree courses.

 

 

 

in my short life, i have moved PLENTY of times. each move was hard for different reasons, but my move from rexburg idaho, my home for 6 years (the longest place i had ever lived) to moscow idaho last august was by far, the hardest move i have ever made in my life. that first semester there was awful. i was sad and depressed and threw on big pity paty for myself from august to december. i was one crabby, grumpy wife and mama. it was awful.

 

after christmas break, i told jared, im tired of being so crabby and grumpy. im changing my attitude, and i was bound and deteremined to put an end to my crabby self i had turned into. our 2nd semester there was so much better. a complete 180 degree turn. i got to know a few girls, who ended up becoming some of my best friends, and parker got to have plenty of play dates which we both loved. we miss our friends we made there, but they all moved away to jobs too, so there was no point sticking around!

 

 

 

 

 

 

we are now moved in and unpacked in our new apartment. we are on the 2nd floor, and trying hard to teach parker we cant just jump and run and jump and run. we have been spending lots of time outside our apartment exploring the city, and wearing parker out. jared starts his big boy job on monday, and though parker and i will miss having him home, i couldnt be more excited (and nervous) for him!
