On the road again

A lot has happened in the last month and a half so I will try to catch everyone up to speed. May 1, I graduated with my Masters in Animal Science, the following day Eden's brother graduated with his Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. The following week my youngest brother, Mark, got married and then the following day my grandma past away so the next week we had her funeral. In between the wedding and the funeral, we went with some friends to Island park for a weekend getaway. It was a blast!!! We went into Yellowstone, which is one of my favorite places, and got to seen new born Bison calves. It was awesome!!!
Last weekend we went up to Idaho for Eden's Grandma's 80th birthday party. I must say I was hesitant to be participate in this party due to Harriet's 80th birthday not occurring until January, but due to her good health, attitude, and the spring in her step I concluded that she should make it to 80 and beyond, so why should I miss out on a party? While there we had a good time seeing Eden's relatives and enjoying some chicken in a barrel. Zaida also got to go on her first horse ride when we went up to help with the cattle drive. She enjoyed it, but I think she enjoyed helping her great-grandpa drive the truck even more.
This week it is off to Reno with my family for a sheep show and sale, then hopefully we will be home for a while so we can get things packed and ready for our move in July. Then again, we can never stay in one place too long so we will probably be hitting the road again soon.
