New home, new address

Well, we are all moved in. Boxes are everywhere, the girls are screaming all the time and Mitch started his first IM rotation this morning at 6:30am. He won't be home until tomorrow at around 2pm. So, we will be getting settled slowly. Ava picked out light pink paint for her room and we bought a really cute comforter and rug to go in her new room. She is really excited about it. I don't know about decorating anything else, though, we'll see if there's enough time. So many things that I want to do and so little energy, money and time! It's nice to have the temple close by, though. Aimee Egbert and I attended a session on Saturday before she left town. It will be good to be able to go often.

Medical School Graduation

It's official! It's now Dr. Mitchell Seth McKamey. Way to go, Mitch! It was a tear jerker hearing them call his name and watching him walk across the stage to receive his diploma. And boy, is it a huge diploma! Holy Smokes. It was a blast to have Les and Wendy and Mark and Cindy and her kids here to celebrate. We wish all of our families could have been here, but know you were in your hearts.... I'll upload some pics later, after I get them... if anyone has any that they want to send me, knock yourself out!

Oh, and now that we're all grad-e-ated, we're moving to St. Louis, we've found a really cute house, are closing on it on June 28th. Mitch is heading out there on the 17th; he has to start Orientation and it lasts two weeks. So, we're moving everything out the week of the 11th and he's leaving, I'm staying to clean and paint, etc. then we're meeting in St. Louis at the close... Very nerve-wracking, though, this house buying business. Hope and pray that it all goes well. We'll update later.

Hawaii Trip

Saturday morning at the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor.
The guys in the front of the convertible... they always sat up front, coincidence? I think not!

Here's the view from the back door of the Mahina Surf condo we stayed at on Maui. Cindy and me stretched out (as much as possible) in our mango Mustang convertible!

The last week in April, Mitch and I, and Matt and Cindy took a vacation over to the beautiful state of Hawaii. It was a graduation gift for us from his parents and Matt-n-Cindy won the trip through Wells Fargo (his job) at the same time that we were going over, so serendipitously we got to go together and had a blast.

We stayed in a beautiful condo called the Mahina Surf in Ka'anapali, Maui for five nights. During those days we spent quite a few days in the mango Mustang convertible that we rented. We drove north, then south, then went to see the Haleakala crater, started down the road to Hana, turned back, watched surfers and body boarders and had picnics. We also spent some time on the beach playing in the surf, snorkeling and reading our books.

We hopped over to Oahu for the last two nights of the trip and stayed at the Hilton Resort on Waikiki. Very expensive and quite a bit ridiculous (if you ask me) also way too busy for our liking. On Oahu, we drove up the road to see Laie, BYU, the temple and PCC. We didn't do the PCC Luau as Matt and Cindy had to get back for their evening meetings, but we enjoyed seeing the sites and scenery. Wish we could have snorkeled there, but didn't have enough time. We also shopped and I finally got my pearl set at Hilo Hattie's on the last day (pink ones: one went in a necklace and two for stud earrings.)

The girls stayed with their grandparent's and were so good. We missed them, but still thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Mitch was pleasantly surprised that he enjoyed it so much. He thought it just wasn't gonna be up his alley, but lucky for me, he wants to go back someday! Maybe after residency is all done we can go again. Next time we decided that we would like to see Moloka'i and Kawa'i, they seem to be even less touristy and more laid-back, which is what we so loved about Maui (don't ever have to see Oahu again!)

New Addition

We went to visit Matt and Cindy, Mitch's brother and his wife, the first part of May in Glasgow, MT. While we were there I saw some fried porkrinds, said, "Mmmm, those look good." Mitch jerked his head around and said, " What did you say? Not the porkrinds! You're pregnant." I only want porkrinds when I'm pregnant; so, that's how we stumbled across the news that we are having our third in November.
