Interviews at The U

Last week we left late Wednesday night and headed to Utah for Jordan's interviews at University of Utah.

We stayed with Matt and Mickie till Friday night.
It was around 11pm when we got there so Ty and Calin didn't see each other, but first thing in the morning, you could hear them trying to talk to each other through the doors. It was cute! They have so much fun together and are such good kids!



Jordan had two one-on-one interviews early Thursday afternoon and a social with all the other applicants and DPT students that evening. So Mickie and I tried to get the boys down for naps, and they just were not having it, so we took them to Cabelas. They both fell asleep on the way, and Ty decided he wanted to stay asleep so Mickie pushed him around in the shopping cart while Calin ran all over the place. He was just so excited to have so much space to run! (Winter in Rexburg has deffinitely been hard on him!)


(When Ty did wake up, there was still plenty of play time left!)

We were going to head to the Jump house that evening when Matt got home from work (so he could chase them instead of the prego moms, haha), but I think we were all too tired. I know I was! So when Jordan got home we watched A-Team, and headed to bed.


(We were watching Wipe Out. Pretty funny, but I don't think the kids quite got the humor of the show)

Friday Jordan had a luncheon at The U then an hour long group interview. After that he was done, and came home to spend time with all of us. Mickie made some delicious enchiladas (this is the recipe, such a good white enchilada recipe without the condensed soup! She made them without the beans, and I think it was even better that way! Oh, and she uses Herdz green salsa instead of green enchilada sauce. YUM!), and after some nice time chatting and catching up, we got in the car and headed back to Idaho. I was amazed there was no snow on the ground in Utah. Here in Rexburg, it is everywhere! Piles and Piles! I know it will melt eventually, but I'm dreading how long it will take! I am ready for warmer weather! It is way to cold here!


Oh, and for those of you wondering, the interviews went great. Jordan really prepared well for them. He LOVED the school, and especially the faculty. He was blown away by their faculty. Either way, he should find out in a couple weeks.

(Mickie was so sweet to make this sign for Jordan! It was hanging up in their window when we arrived. And I know it must have been hard making a UofU being such big BYU fans! Thanks Mickie! We now have it hanging in our living room)

You got some cute pictures of the boys! Yeah I wish they had longer to play together. I think getting together in the summer where they can run outside will be so much fun. Still hoping for Jordan to get in to the U, you find out in a week or so right? :) Can't wait to hear.

Ah! The suspense is killing me. I SO hope Jordan gets in to U of U. we would be sad if you guys moved far away. But I think I will feel left out because you know you guys will get together with Matt and Mickie all the time. No fair. :)

Way to go Jordan, I hope he receives good news in a few weeks!

Cute pics of the boys. We're a Wipeout family, we crack up every episode - the kids too.

We had a nice 70 degree winter day today. :) I can't imagine all that snow and cold! Keep warm!

I was cold. I wore a sweater today. The wind was blowing. It felt like 68 degrees to me. If that's where the Lord wants you, then He will open the door. Good Luck Jordie, Love you, Dad

Hi Baby Girl!
I know just how you feel about loving being a mommy. I felt the same way when you were little!!

Sounds like things went really well for Jordan. I'll be praying for you guys!

That is a hilarious picture of Matt and the boys!! They have this look on their faces like, "Uh, yeh Matt (Dad), we don't quite see what's so funny here.."

Anyway, sooo cute to see pics of Calin and his cousins. He is such an interactive little guy, it's wonderful that he has so many great cousins and more on the way (along with a sibling!!)

Love you!!!
Mom
