Sorry I haven't posted in over a month, we have been super busy. We moved from Moscow (which is an another long story). The short version is we decided Wednesday night we needed to move out on Saturday to beat the huge winter storm that was coming. So we packed up our entire apartment in 2 days, while I was still taking finals and ventured out with a uhaul in the snow. Michael and Logan drove the uhaul to Rexburg while myself, Benson, my Dad, Abbie and Spencer drove our two cars to Twin Falls. Luckily, we all survived and made it to Twin Falls for Christmas.
Christmas was great! It was Benson's first Christmas and he loved his toys. He wasn't into opening presents too much. He loved his gift from Nana and Papa, a push toy to help him walk. After that gift he didn't really care too much about his other gifts. Michael and I did all of our Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve because we didn't get time before that with finals and moving. I don't recommend waiting until Christmas Eve to do your shopping. Needless to say we went together and both knew what we were getting as gifts.
We had a fun but quiet New Years hanging out with my brother. We were awake at 12 but didn't watch the ball drop. I think we missed it drop at 10 and then by 12 our time no channel was replaying it. Oh well, once you've seen it, it's not that exciting to see it again. It's the same every year!
I am working as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Twin Falls County and studying for bar. I love working as a Prosecutor! It's a great job. I was an intern last summer at the office and enjoy working there again.
Michael is splitting his time between Rexburg and Twin Falls. He's in Rexburg 3 days a week going to school and then watches Benson 2 days a week when he is Twin Falls. It's not the most ideal situation but it works for the next few months while Michael finishes up school. He is excited to be so close to finishing and finally getting started with a career and moving on past life as a student.
Benson is getting bigger and cuter everyday (yes, it's possible for him to get cuter!). He is walking like crazy and jibber jabbers away. He can say Mom, Dad, Georgia, Hello and More. He is still a little chunk but getting talker. He's a great eater! He will eat just about anything and will eat and eat and eat! He turned 1 on January 11th! It's crazy how fast the last year flew by.
I have a ton of picutres to post! I just have to find my adapter to be able to put the pictures on my computer. Hopefully I will find it soon.

Law School Graduate
I am officially a law school graduate! I passed all my classes last semester and met all my graduation requirements! Now I just have to pass the bar exam to be a licensed attorney. I've started studying for the bar which I take the end of February. I should know sometime in April if I passed. No graduation pictures unil May. I'm decided not to walk in December but to wait and walk in May with my classmates. We are the 100th law school class so the college has a bunch of fun graduation things planned. I'm excited to get my diploma in the mail in a few weeks and will be even more excited when I pass the bar. Which hopefully will be the first time!
