No pictures?

So, I just realized I have never done a post that didn't have any pictures in it, and since we don't have anything really picture worthy in our lives right now I will just do a quick update without pictures...

well we are a few weeks into a new semester. Cameron started the Nursing program and it is keeping him plenty busy. He is taking a few pre-med classes on top of his nursing stuff which makes him even more busy and occupied with homework. He also still works up at the health center, so needless to say it will be a long busy semester for him.

I am also in school full-time but I have managed to schedule all my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can work all day on Monday,Wednesday,Friday and Saturdays. I luckily have a great job where I can get some homework done while I am there. I am trying to graduate sooner than I should for when I started, so I am also taking 3 BYU independent study classes.

Cameron and I still love our apartment and are continuing to get to know new people in our ward which is always fun. We faithfully watch the BYU football games every Saturday, so if you are a fan too and want to come watch with us, you are more than welcome(Cameron's parents upgraded our cable for his birthday so we get the channel that the games are on).

Other than that, there is nothing really new or exciting going on in our lives right now. We did go to the BYU-UCLA game a couple weeks ago so I will put up those pictures when we get them from Cameron's parents.

Home Sweet Home

After we got back from our cross country travels we went back to our apartment for one day, just long enough to unpack, do laundry and re-pack to go home to Spokane for about a week. Hillary's cousin Jordan was having his wedding reception on friday so we went up for that and to just hang out with family before school starts back up. We had lots of fun seeing everyone and it went by way too fast. We took lots of pictures with family so here you go...

The Skelton kids-I'm not sure how Cameron and I look like the youngest when we are actually two of the oldest

I got to have a girls night out with a bunch of my friends from Spokane and it was a blast!

Cameron and his youngest brother Scott

Thompson grandkids(minus Justin and Garrett)

Favorite cousin! (Staci)

We got to see our friends Jon and Michelle Spear which was fun, but the best part was holding new baby Nixon. 

He is such a cute baby

Cross Country Adventures

Well, we are finally back from our LONG trip to Boston and back. We were helping Cameron's sister and brother-in-law move out to Boston where he is starting Harvard Law school. We started out by flying from Salt Lake to Phoenix and then drove from Phoenix to Boston with a few stops along the way. We had lots of fun and took tons of pictures. I haven't counted exactly yet, but I think we ended up driving through something like 20 states on the trip.

On a wagon-ride tour 

The trees are hallow so Tyler just decided to climb in!

We were able to do a session in the Nauvoo temple while we were there, it was really cool

Joseph and Hyrum

It was pretty much the routine to come back to the hotel each night after a long day of driving and turn on the Olympics for a little while before getting some much needed sleep

We were able to go to Carthage Jail and take a tour

I tried to take pictures of all the states signs along the way, but only a few of them turned out so here are a couple of the better ones.

We stopped in D.C along the way and got to see some good friends of Nicole and Tyler's. They bought us really good/fancy cupcakes that were delicious. 

While we were in D.C we got to go through the Holocaust Museum. It was really interesting to see all the things they had on display there. I think we were there for over three hours, but it was one of my favorite things that we did while we were there. 

The Washington Monument

The Capitol Building

Arlington National Cemetary

We watched the changing of the guards which was another one of my favorite things we did.

Driving STILL (and obviously getting a little bored)

Finally in Boston and unloading the truck (through the window, it was sweet)

Moving furniture

After we helped unpack a little at their apartment, Cameron and I took a bus to New York. It was a long bus ride but so worth it.  This is Cameron in front of the ESPN Zone. It was the first thing we did once we got there and I have to admit it was cool since the Olympics were on.

In the ESPN Zone

We went to a Mets game. These are our scalped tickets. 

On Wednesday Nicole and Tyler came to New York to hang out with us for a day. We went to the Serendipity restaurant where the movie was filmed. They had frozen hot chocolates which I wasn't too sure about at first, but they were way good. 

Central Park

Times Square

We saw The Little Mermaid on Broadway. It was amazing!

Statue of Liberty

We stopped at Ground Zero

The Seinfeld Restaurant 

When we went back to Boston we were able to go to a Patriots pre-season game. It was way cool and lots of fun even though they got crushed. 

We had so much fun on this one-in-a-lifetime trip and are so glad that we got the opportunity to do it. We saw so many things and so much of the country. It was amazing and we have lots of great memories, although we are glad to be back home after being gone for so long.
