CRT!

I passed my first board exam today and I am now a Certified Respiratory Therapist.  I filled out my Colorado State License and plan to apply to jobs early next week.  I still have to pass another set of boards but this is a huge step!  Wahooo, I am moving right along.

Phoenix Trip

Kezia, Avery and I flew down to Phoenix for five days to spent time with the Bemi and their new digs.  It was the first time Avery would be away form Michael and Kali, so I had the pressure of keeping both Kezia and Avery happy and safe.  The flights went smoothly and baby Avs was an angel.  While in Phoenix we managed to do a lot of shopping, relaxing, eating, and hanging with the babies.  Miss Carlie had school each day, so she was always very excited to come home a play with her two Aunties.  Baby Tessa was standing and took one step while we were there.  Both Bemis girls are precious and I loved spending time with them.  I was able to read to Carlie each night and feed Tessa anytime I had food.  Baby Avery loved the swing and watching her cousins play.  I had a great trip and it was great to spend time with Kez and Carrie!  Love you sisters!

Grand Tetons/Yellowstone National Park

I finished RT school and Dave had his first vacation since early Spring, so we decided to drive to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. Here are tons of pictures from our trip. We camped for 1 night in the Tetons and 3 nights in Yellowstone. We saw lots of wildlife including 3 grey wolf spottings, herds of buffalo, lots of antelope, 1 bull moose, many birds of prey, 3 deer, 1 herd of elk, a dozen cutthroat fish, lots of chipmunks and ground squirrels, and a couple of coyotes to top it all off. We toured the entire park in only 3 days which required us to drive a lot and quickly see all the sights. It was a fantastic trip and I feel blessed to have seen one of the nations most beautiful national parks. The natural beauty is quite amazing.
