He Survived After All!

So Nathan survived his last final and passed all of his classes with flying colors! He always says he hopes he won't get 5th yeared, but I'm never sure why! He always does well and finishes with great grades! It now means that we have 5 quarters of bookwork down, and only 2 to go! We really enjoyed this last week having Nathan around. It is disgusting how much is required of him in school.

We relaxed the weekend away and then drove to Chicago on Monday. We took Nathan to the Field Museum on Tuesday, and he loved it. He is already talking about going back to visit it again! On Wednesday Mel was so nice to watch the girls for us so that we could go to the temple. We took some of Nathan's family names and did their baptisms, confirmations, and initiatory work. It is so wonderful to take part in progressing your own family's work. On Thursday, of course we slaved away the morning, then got to enjoy the fruits of our labors! We had a great dinner with the King family! Then Sami stayed home with the sleeping kids and let us go see Twilight! I can't believe I made it the whole week without seeing it! I loved it even with all of it's cheesy moments! On Friday we drove back home. Mel and her family are always so welcoming, and make us feel right at home. She gives up her room for us, and is still always inviting us back! We love their family, and will hopefully get to spend more time with them over the next six months, before we head back out west!

I failed to get very many pictures, so I need to get some from Mel, and then I'll post some. Oh, and by the way, I've been terribly behind for the last couple of months, so be prepared, I am going to be playing catch up over the next little bit!
