We have moved in to our new home which is alot more spacious then our last.  We have only done minor repairs so far that include the horse fence and painting the interior walls in the upstairs.  Here are some different pictures of the house and yard.

 

Here is the front of our house, we hope to relandscape with more trees for privacy, and lay down river rock in the flower beds.

 

 

 

Here is the view from our front yard, I haven't taken one at night yet, on top of the hill ( iam kinda scared of skunks)

 

 

 

Here is the view of part of our backyard where the horses live

We it has been quite a while scince I last posted any pictures.  I have been studying none stop for the nclex.  We really haven't been able to do much around the house besides painting, we are still waiting on new carpet, to move completely in. The carpet should be installed on the 15th of this month, and I take my test on the 18th.  We have removed garbage and mowed down the lawn.  Here are some pictures of our new house, it is a lot spacier than our other one.

 

 

 

Here is the view fron our property the front yard, it is really pretty at night

 

 

Sunday, I was lucky enough to go ride my horse. There is nothing like running on a horse, it is a feeling that can not be described.  Here is a picture of my horse cash after a long day of riding

 

 

 

This Friday I decided to take cobay to the vets because he was limping badly in his right hind leg, thinking that maybe he pulled a muscle chasing the kids alond the fence line.  Nothing could prepare Jake and I for the news that we were about to hear.  Cobay was diagnosed with bone cancer.  When the vet told me this my heart sank and it was all I could do not to cry.  The plan for cobay is pain relief, because he is not a canidate for amputation.  We are suposed to get another radiograph (x-ray) in one month to see how far it has progressed. The vet told us that cobay has 2-8 months left. This sounds funny but it feels as though I am losing a child, he will be missed greatly.  He is a wonderful friend and dog. Here are some cute pictures of the dogs in the back yard

 

 

 

 

 

 

I started my new job today, it went well just very long because it was orientation.  I just remeber what meghann told me to think about in orientation, "your getting paid".  I start a full week on the 23rd of june, I am pretty nervous about that, but excited as well.  I will let everyone know how it goes.

 

We had such a wonderful time in Hawaii, it was hard to leave and come back to reality.  We snorkled at the power plant, they even talked me in to swimming out there, which I am glad they did because it was beautiful out there.  I also wanted to thank everyone who attended my graduation, or were there in spirit, it meant a lot to me.  Another big thanks to meg and jes for making us fell at home, when we were so far from it. I will never forget these trips to Hawaii. I love everyone, and am very fortunate to have such a wonderful family.

 

 

Here we were at the North Shore for a wonderful lunch

Here are some other pictures of us at the power plant, and the swimming pool.

I am nearing the end of the second quarter, at Salish Kootenai College. I am so glad that it is almost over.  I will finally be able to garden and watch television at night. This week I am going to warm springs, to do my clinical rotation.  We have to stay in the haunted dorms, so thank God I will have all my friends there with me. This has been the hardest thing that I have ever done, and I know it will be worth it. I hope everything is well for everyone
