I have had blog withdrawals lately!! We have been pretty busy around here this past week so my blog has been neglected. It's about time I update it to let everyone know what has been going on! My family and Mark's family came out for Natalie's baby blessing as well as for Mark and my graduation! We did it! Both of us finally graduated!! Mark finished with a BS in Business Finance and I finished with a BS in Child Development. It feels so good to be done, you have no idea...well a few of you probably know how good it feels!
Because all of our family was going to be out for graduation we decided to wait and bless Natalie when they would all be here. We ended up blessing Natalie on Friday in our home because our families were leaving on Saturday and wouldn't be here on Sunday. Mark gave her the most beautiful blessing. It looks like we are starting a tradition of blessing our kids in our home, Josh was blessed in our home as well.
Following graduation we went down to Bear Lake for a Vest Family Reunion (that is my side of the family!). My grandparents own a cabin on Bear Lake so it was nice to be able to go and relax and visit with family! We played lots of games, Mark went golfing with my dad, cousins, and uncles, and we spent time at the lake as well! Josh loves the water and had a fun time with his cousins (well they are actually my cousins...but they are the same age as my kids! I guess they are actually his cousins once removed or something like that!)
We are getting ready to head out to Cleveland. So it is going to be a little crazy at our house for the next week or so. We thought we were going to have to pack ourselves up and drive a moving truck out but it turns out URS (the company Mark is getting hired on with) actually arranges for a moving company to come and move us! So that is a huge relief not having to pack everything up ourselves! I think it will make this move a lot smoother. We are super excited about starting this adventure and will keep you all posted as to when we will be making the trek!

Your family picture is absolutely adorable, where did you get it done? Congrats to both of you on graduating. I know how hard you guys have worked and it must feel GREAT! I can't believe you are moving. Even though we never really saw eachother it was nice to know you were only a state away. We will miss you and hopefully have a chance to see you sometime in the near future. You guys have been such awesome friends and I don't think we could have survived Rexburg without meeting you. Good luck with everything and keep in touch.
I love love love your family picture! Looks like you guys have been having lots of fun lately. Congratulations on graduating! That's awesome that Mark's company will be moving for you, that's half the battle. Good luck!
That is great they are moving you! I'm sure your mom has lots of advice with using movers, but if you need anymore you can always ask :) Ours did a pretty good job, not too much was missing or broken so that was a relief. It was so nice to just have to keep an eye on the kids and have them be done in a few hours. And Natalie looks so adorable in her dress! She is such a cute baby!
congratulations! I loved our graduation day last year. It was fun for me and Joe to walk together. I also love your pictures.
