Packing, graduation, moving and more

I haven't posted for a while things have been pretty busy. Here is a quick update. I will add pictures when I find where I packed the chord that connects our camera to the computer. Jared graduated with a PHD in Pharmacy. He now insits that we all call him Dr. Smith. Actually he is really humble about it more humble than I would be. It is me who is insists we call him Dr. Smith. I am really proud of him. We haven't really got to celebrate or breath. After graduation we moved to Provo, UT. We are here now trying to get settled which has been hard because we have been traveling a lot for weddings and holidays and our apartment has been under construction. It is going to continue to be a busy summer with two family reunions but we will get settled eventually. I am so excited to start visitng all my family and friends that are so close now!!! Jared started work at Wal Greens about a week ago.The day before he started his store got held up at gun point. Nothing says welcome to Wal Greens like a gunman seeking oxycodone. Other than that things are going well for him. Liam is growing and learning so much.He understands everything we say to him and he is saying new words all the time.He knows almost all the farm animal sounds and is getting good at signing. His favorite signs are please and thank you. He is also becoming more independent and strong willed. He has mastered the glare. He is hilarious and so much fun. Although things have been crazy we have had a good time and feel really blessed to be done with school and here in utah.

Thank you guys soooo much for coming down to BC for the reunion, it was such a blast to see you both and Liam is super cute! That was weird that Jared ignored me for the first 2 hours until you told me that he only responds to Dr.SMith, then he acted as though I had just arrived and he was happy to see me, haha.

Cadie,

I am so happy to have you and your family close by! I totally understand about the craziness of moving/family reunions/school. It has been nuts for us. We're trying to get settled. We would love to get together when the time is right! We live close to Timpview high... call me at 224-7009. Lots of love.

Oh my gosh Cadie. That's crazy, Doug was on KSL.com and saw the headline and wondered if that was Jared's store. I laughed out loud at your comment. Congrats to Jared. Liam is a DOLL. I miss him. It's going to be so much fun to get together (with my sister too) in UT.

Hi Cadie! I'm so excited to catch up on your life through your blog! It's been so long. I'm a terrible friend. But congratulations on Jared's graduation and on your lovely little family!
