Our Travels to Destination I: Boise (Part 2)

We made it!  This is our last move until we move to Colorado to start residency!  It took us about a week to get from Durango to Boise, and it was a jam-packed week.  We got to Salt Lake City late Sunday night, and Clark flew out the next morning to Des Moines to take his final exam to earn his Master's Degree in Anatomy.  This was a big test...a pass/fail situation that determined if he would get the degree or not.  He flew back to Salt Lake Wednesday and got an email later that afternoon saying that he had passed with flying colors!  Yahoo!!!  What a relief!  We were so excited!

While in Utah we got to spend time with my Grandpa and Nada, they were so nice to open the Turpin Hotel to us for so many nights.  We got to spend an afternoon with Kelly and cute Sara.  We spent a few nights with Weston and Erica and got to see their amazing progress in their home renovation.

With Erica we went to Temple Square and took the boys to the Book of Mormon children's exhibit at the Church History Museum.  It was amazing!

 We got to be there to celebrate James' graduation for his Master's Degree in Engineering from BYU.

I call this one the bitter beard face.

That weekend James took us out for a ride in his boat.  Despite the chilly water James, Clark and my mom all skied, and the boys played in the water.

Yes that is snow on those mountains!  (And the BYU Y)

Little EE was so warn out he fell asleep as we drove back to the dock.

Then I got my real treat of the week!  On Sunday my Dad, Clark and the boys returned to Boise.  Clark gave me a few days off to spend with my mom in Salt Lake.  We had a great time!  We had to set our alarms every morning just to make it to breakfast by 9 am.  We shopped at the new City Creek, ate yummy food, and went to 2 plays!  What a fun little getaway for me.    

Erica and Erica joined us for a night at Desert Star.

We are so happy to be in Boise now and for Clark to start his FINAL rotation!
