Pain, searching, partying, and training...


So, last week the dentist extracted my wisdom teeth. One was still impacted, so they had to cut through my gums and take it out! The next day, it swell up so big that it freaked me out. Plus, I was in a lot of pain & I threw up everytime I took pain meds. Comes Monday morning and the swelling hasn't gone down. Ends up, I had an infection. Yeah, not fun at all!!! I have to go back in acouple of days to get stitches removed.

Rico is always on the computer searching for apartments. We are anxious to move into a bigger place, hopefully...

Erin has been invited to so many princess birthday parties. She wore this Cinderlla constume for her 4th bday & I can't believe that it used to down her ankles. Look at how tall she's grown!!!

We have been attempting potty training with Eli. He'll tell us that he needs to go "poo-poo" or "pee-pee," gets on the toilet, sits on it for a while and then flushes it. Flushing is his favorite part. Sometimes he'll stick his hand out of the shower curtains while bubble bathing and just flushes the toilet!

Drum rolls please...

After waiting & lots of prayers! Rico got accepted to San Jose State, Cal State East Bay, and BYU, Provo. We have decided for Rico to attend the EMPA (Executive Masters of Public Administration) program in BYU, Provo this fall. We are excited and at the same time sad because we will not be moving to California where our families are. My husband asks me, "Are you ready for Utah?". My response was, "Is Utah ready for me?"

Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Okay, so we have been waiting and waiting to hear from grad school. Rico has been accepted to Cal State East Bay (in California) where it's close to families and lots of sun!!! He has also been accepted to BYU. We are praying that we will make the right decision for our children in the long run since where we decide to go will ultimately be where we'd like to settle down as a family for good!
