What we have been up to

Wow it has been forever since I have posted. We have been really busy lately. I will quickly give a rundown of what we have been up to lately and then post a slide show of pictures. Paul, me and my parents went down to Las Vegas to find a house, it was quite frustrating to me at first but we finally ended up finding a house we really like, it is close to Paul's school, is in a gated community and has a swimming pool and play ground. I really wanted a place with grass so Leila could play outside but watering in Vegas is really expensive so we were trying to find something with desert landscaping, what we found has a mixture of both, it has a tiny patch of grass and the rest in desert. Our house has four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths I am super excited to have a place that is more roomy. We have attended a lot of Jordan high soccer games my brother plays on the team. We are super proud of him, he is an excellent player and so talented, Jordan ended up getting eliminated from the state finals but they had an excellent season. My sister Leslie was accepted into the U of U nursing program, which is very difficult to get into, she is so smart, she is living my dream of becoming a nurse, maybe one day I will make it back to school to get my nursing degree. My other sister Erin and her husband just bought a new home and have been spending tons of hours trying to get the house and yard the way they want it. Leila had her 15 month apointment at the beginning of May, she is a whopping 17 lbs 13 oz. and 28 1/2 inched tall right about the 3rd percentile. Yes we have a tiny daughter whatever she eats is just burned off by her constant moving. She is so busy and has to do every thing herself. She is learning new words everyday, it is so much fun. Paul and I both quit our jobs. We have PTO for the next month and a half. I now get to be a stay at home mom while Paul is in medical school. I am so excited to be able to be home with her and it is nice right now because Paul and I both are at home. Paul and I just returned from an awesome vacation in the southern carribean with several of our good friends, I will do another post later with pictures and all of our activities.

Hi Alisha and Paul!
We are very happy for you guys! Congratulations on Paul getting into med school! We definitely know the stress of the whole process--it's probably such a relief for it to be over. It is hard, though, living away from family. Ty and I are hoping to move closer to Utah next year, but we have no idea where we're going to end up. We're glad to hear that you guys are doing well!
