Looks Can be Deceiving

Wow it has been a CRAZY past few weeks. Here is a quick (kinda long) overview of what we have been up to!

Alex graduated!!! He worked so hard and graduated in the top ten percent!

We had a party for him that following Sunday with our families. This is the cake that I made for him. My first experience making and using fondant, but it was fun and I think it came out nice.

Here are some things that we did before we left good old Rexburg:

We went to IHOP. Yes I know you can totally tell where we are from the picture.



I had never been to the Teton Dam (ya lived almost my entire life here and never been) so we took a drive up there.



Tried to go to the temple one more time, but it was closed for cleaning so took pictures instead.

Now the big, stressful event of the past month:
Moving from our old apartment into our . . .

... new apartment.
Just a bunch of boxes and looks pretty much the same uh?

Here's just a couple of the pictures from our new apartment once we got all unpacked...

This is why looks can be deceiving . . .

That is Zoey and she is our new dog! Doesn't she look crazy! We got her from the pound, we aren't sure of her story, but she is the sweetest dog ever. Looking back on that picture it is a wonder why me and Alex and adopted her!

She is a miniature poodle and is around 7 years old. She has the worst breath that you could ever smell and she snores. But we love her! We got her groomed and had to do the whole vet thing with her and she looks a TON better! She has loads of personality and has a snagletooth! (You can probably see it in the picture on the bottom.) She loves to be wrapped up in blankets, cuddle, and she loves everyone! Zoey has brought a lot of happiness, peace, and comfort into our lives!

Since we have been in Boise we have been

doing a lot of driving around and trying to figure out where things are at. We walked downtown the other night, but did not cover all of it by far, so we will be doing that again. We have tried out a couple restaurants. There are sooooo many! We are waiting to do some of the stuff that costs money until I get a job. I have already had an interview and I have a second one tomorrow with the same school, so cross your fingers! We have enjoyed our time here so far. It has been a little boring at times, but as soon as we settle into a routine I am sure things with pick up. Alex starts school next Monday and he started his assistantship yesterday, so it has been up to me and Zoey to hold down the fort.

We miss our families! Alex and me were talking and since we have been married this is the longest that it has been with out seeing our families. Impressive or pathetic? Either way we are excited to go home and visit, this experience will great!
