Sorry to anyone that actually checks our blog! It drives me crazy when someone does like three posts in one week then goes forever before doing another, which we did and it only bugs me cause I'm nosey! But things have been a little hectic and there isn't much to talk about. Anyway, I suppose I'll post some pictures because they're always fun and they sum up what we have been up to lately.
Well Gabrie got her first trip to Lagoon. She liked watching people and the train ride but that was about it. But Luke did win her a prize, a snake!
Luke is done with teaching for the year so he has been enjoying time as a stay at home dad as I finish up the school year and finish my grad program (even though I already walked in graduation). Last week I had to go finish my last two classes - I had class all day long every day. We stayed with Luke's brother Corbin and his wife Stef for a fews days and Gabrie had a lot of fun playing with Ashlyn!
Here is a picture of most of the people in my program. Jen, Richard, Lee, Kristin, and Laura we missed you. We went to dinner to celebrate being done, good job all of us! We never have to sit through 8 hours of class again! What a relief!
After spending all of this time with Luke, Gabrie is becoming quite the "Daddy's girl"
Our next (and probably only) adventure this summer is to buy a house! If anybody knows of any really really good first time home buyer programs or has any tips (seriously... like the money kind... for a down payment...) let us know.

Kellie, i love your post. We just found out about a down payment assistance program through the Wasatch Housing Authority in Heber. Our mortgage guy told us about it. The program grants down payments at a REALLY low interest rate. See if your city or town has a housing authority and if there is any sort of program like this :) Good luck!
Hey Kellie, it's me again. Your pictures are adorable. I didn't know if you remember the Utah First Time Homebuyers loan thing I told you about up at school. It's actually called an FHA loan and it gives you a lower interest rate. A lot of it depends on the down payment you'd make on the house though. With FHA you can come in with no money down and they'll pay the closing costs, but if you have a decent downpayment that might be a better way to go. I don't know a ton about it, but I know it's out there. Hope that helps.
We hear Colorado is a great place to buy a house. We can't wait to see you all in August.
Thanks for posting the pic of all of us at dinner! I can't believe that we are actually done...its still so surreal!
Jess :D

Hey, I love the posts. I also find myself slacking and end up doing really long posts of several adventures.
