Boards!

After weeks (almost a month) of fighting people to get all of the pieces of my application sent to the right people, I finally recieved notice that I could schedule my board exams! I've been waiting for this for 3 weeks now and thought that it would be such a great thing to get out of the way. I always had in my mind that I would get it all done before the wedding and vacations but it is too late for that now cause there are no more spaces available, so this means that the anxiety and nervousness will continue for another 3 weeks :( However, I have scheduled dates now so I have something to look forward to and this gives me more motivation to study knowing how much time I have. I am taking the law exam on June 23rd, just hours before Trisha flies into Utah and I am taking the national exam on July 7th, just 4 days after our honeymoon. Not ideal but it was the only option. I ask for Trisha's forgiveness now and ask for some moral support and prayers as I prepare for these huge tests!!!

In lighter and happier news: I cannot wait to see Trisha again and I am so excited for our wedding which is going to be an incredibly fun start to our life together!!!

Free Fishing Day

Today I was coerced into going fishing with all of my brothers and my 3 nephews. I do not particularly enjoy fishing. Partly because I am inpatient and get bored after only a few minutes and in part because the only fish I ever caught was an albino trout and I only caught it by chance, right in the eye as I reeled in my line :) It was a beautiful day and it was free fishing day so we loaded up the cooler and the van and headed up the mountain. We tried to hit tibble fork but it seemed saturated so we changed venue and ended up at Deer Creek. It was pretty fun trying to teach the kids how to throw out the line and how to sit and wait for a dumb fish to bite. We caught only weeds and other fishing line!! I guess it was still a success because we had a great time together!
