Moving to Washington

Now that Daniel has finished school, he has taken up a job in Washington until he starts Optometry School in August. He is working as an Optician at his dad's practice. This was our first major move, and so there was a lot of question on what size truck to get, and how we were planning on moving. We had reserved a 16' truck. When we went to pick it up, they didn't have any 16' trucks. That's when the panicking started. Apparently, just because you reserve a truck, it doesn't mean you are going to get it. They said they only had a 24' truck available. There was no way we were going to drive something that big, nor did we need one that big. After an hour, the guy said he might be able to find us a 10' truck. That was better then a 24', but now the question was, is it all going to fit. Two hours later, we had the truck, and with the help of family, started to pack. We were extremely thankful that everything made it in.
We are now settling in our new home in Washington.

Daniel's Graduation

The day finally came. I never thought it was ever going to come. Some of Daniel's family came down for his graduation. I was so excited. We didn't get very good seats because we were kinda late, but that's okay. Once the music started, so did the tears. Ever since we have been married, Daniel has been telling me that he had only a year and a half left of school. A year later, he still had a year and a half left of school. So you can imagine my frustration. Once we hit this last semester, I wasn't going to hold my breath. But he made it, and I couldn't be more proud. He has been working so hard, and studying late every night. I am so glad this phase of our life is over. In August he will be starting Optometry School, and 4 more years. YAY:(
