Way too long...

Everyday for the last 2 weeks, I've been planning to blog. I'm writing this on May 10th - let's see if I actually post it today. :)

So, since I last posted:

*Nate graduated from BYU's Marriott School of Management with a Bachelor's and Masters of Accountancy.

Please ignore the fact that I look pregnant in this dress. I'm not.

Nate and one of his good friend Shawn Hansen.
Kippy, Nate and Dan Frakes
My dad came too - thanks for coming dad! We missed you mom!

*Karly lost 4 pounds (that might be an exaggeration) from being sick the week and day of graduation.

*I did too many loads of puke laundry.
* Packed our apartment and sold nearly all of our furniture (over about 4 weeks).
*Packed our stuff into a moving truck and drove the 7 hours from Provo to Denver, Colorado.

For those who don't know, Nate's parent's are graciously letting us live in their house for a while, as well as Nate's older brother, wife and baby. Since we moved here two weeks ago, we have helped Nate's parents unpack their new house (while being frustrated with how long the basement was taking to be finished - it's finally done!) and moved half of our possessions into the house and half into a storage shed.

We are exploring Denver now that we're here and have found some good hiking spots, walked around downtown, checked out the mall nearby and researched some fun things to do (ahem....this is not an advertisement to come to Denver and visit us or anything...yes it is)

First, that is a really cute dress that you had on at graduation, and it DIDN"T make you look prego. You looked very pretty. Second, I am excited to be seeing you guys very soon. Thanks for preparing the house for us so then it was finished by the time we got there.:) I for one am greatful.

Ditto on AJ's; ditto on Melissa's; ditto on Paige's... oh, wait, no ditto there! I'm not patient about missing out on the fun. I'm bummed.
Must do something about it.
Sure love y'all- Yomama
P.S. If that's Kim in the last picture with you, I really can't tell. Weird.
