An Unbelievable Week
I just have to share the awesome week we had. It just kept getting better and better each day. It started on MONDAY with our ultrasound where we found out that we are having a GIRL! Did I mention that already. :) A girl! A girl! Wahoo! Then on TUESDAY evening Dave's temporary license came in the mail, which allowed him to begin working!! About time! :) WEDNESDAY was a great day thanks to my sister and her husband. They watched the kids for 4 and a half hours while we attended the temple and went out to dinner (using a gift card, which made it taste even better...thanks Spencer and Allie!). Mmmm....Olive Garden. It was so great to be in the temple again. It had been way too long. So Dave started work on THURSDAY...yippee! After work we raced home to see if his boards results had posted yet and he....PASSED!!! Which means he has full license to work and keep his job!!! We are so super excited!! What a relief! Thanks to all those that added him in your prayers. FRIDAY was a fun family night. The local grocery store held a tailgate party for the BYU football game. They had all sorts of fun activities for the kids and free soda, chips, ice cream, and scones. I'll post more about it later. But the kids had a blast and it cost a whole 80 cents! Nice. So SATURDAY was another great. I was outside minding my own business, when my neighbor came outside and asked if we wanted two tickets to the BYU football game that started in like 5 minutes. Dave and I snatched them up and dumped off our kids (again, thanks Stephanie). We arrived at half time and found out we had great seats! We were half way up and at the 50 yard line, in the chairs, not even the benches. They were $55 seats. Anyway, we had a great time...especially since BYU killed Air Force 31-6. So just when I'm thinking our great streak should be over...nope. TODAY we went to our Stake Conference and Elder L. Tom Perry was a speaker. We waited after the session and we each had a chance to shake his hand. What an amazing experience! I felt the spirit so strongly to be in his presence. Awesome. (He's a lot taller than I would have thought.) So that's the summary of our great week! I hope you all have a great upcoming one!!

Natalie- that is SO AWESOME!! I love it when that happens and everything goes well!! I'm happy for ya, and it totally made my day to just hear about it! Tell Dave Congratulations too!! That's got to feel good to have that all done and out of the way- you guys have worked so hard!! You deserve some fun!
You said it was a GOOD week. Don't you mean "sorta good" week? I mean, how can you feel completely good when your brother-in-law's alma mater (and current employer) lost a football game? I mean really....
Yes, I especially enjoyed that part since they also beat Arizona, his other alma mater. :) It was a great game...even in all the rain.
So good to hear people have GOOD WEEKS still! It helps boost the morale. Can it be our turn next? ha
As soon as BYU beats Berkeley in football (which shouldn't be too hard), they will have a complete set! Good thing Doug doesn't follow football, or he'd be crying. Actually, I think he would've rooted for BYU in all those cases anyway!
