Australia!...and random..:)

I'm sure many of you already know, but Ryan got his call to serve in the Melbourne, Australia Mission! He will be speaking Vietnamese, and leaves June 22nd! I could hardly believe it when he read aloud AUSTRALIA....I was seriously like, "Excuse me, what?!" I got even more wide-eyed when he read that he would be speaking Vietnamese! CRAZY! He's just my little brother, I can hardly believe that he just turned 19. He's going to be an excellent missionary.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get more photos to upload:(. Corb is working tonight, so I can't ask him what to do. I'm not very savvy when it comes to figuring out computers.

Corb and I have both been very busy lately, and it seems it is only going to get busier. For the most part we enjoy being busy, time flies. I swear the week just begins, and just as quick as it begun it's already ending. Corb recently got a new job in phlebotomy at Utah Valley Hospital. He is really enjoying it, and learning a lot. Most of his shifts are 12.5 hour night shifts, which has definitely been a change for both of us. Maybe more for me, in that I have become so accustomed to being together in the evenings that I've struggled a little bit:) It's been a good thing though, as soon as it starts to get a little warmer I would love to get back into running that way I used to be. As soon as we got married, I stopped making time for that, and have found that I really miss it. I'm not sure how Corb manages to figure out his sleeping schedule. I don't think I could do it, I love my sleep too much.

The next few months should be a lot of fun as it warms up. Corb's family has a tradition to go to California for a week in the summer. His grandma gets a beach house there for a few months, and everyone heads down. We're all taking the trip a little early this year. We are headed out the end of May through the beginning of June. My family is trying to squeeze in a Lake Powell trip before Ry leaves. So, hopefully we can also make that happen. Corb and I should be moved into our new place within this next week. We're really excited:)

Ry Ry's Birthday Dinner at Carrabas!

Haha! Cute little kid between our heads.

Yeeeah. He looks a bit scary. He did an excellent
job painting though!

HaHa! His hair is out of control. Mine is too:)

Ryan is opening his call tonight!!!

I'm dying! It doesn't even seem real yet, he's still just my little brother. I cannot believe how fast time flies by. I guess my dad was right when he said, "Oh you just wait, you'll graduate high school and when you look back it will all seem like a blur." I remember this time last year, and found myself always joking with my family that it was looking like I'd end up waiting to get married until Ry got back. I had always had a year dating rule or a 4 seasons rule. Clearly that rule meant nothing to me, seeing as I got engaged 7 weeks after Corb and I started dating...yeeeah. But hey, when it's right it's right. Anyway, that was always such a concern for me, and little did I know I would end up being married before he left.

In just a few hours he's going to open his call. I wish I had some sort of an idea where he might be going, but I have no clue. He was told he won't be going anywhere 3rd world, because of an eye condition he has. To me, that's actually a relief. Corb is crossing his fingers he goes spanish speaking. Who knows?!
