Goodbye Casper, Hello Pocatello

Friday was Brad's last day of his surgery rotation in Casper. He had such a great experience there. We all did. Dr. Beckstead (Brad's "teacher" for the rotation) was really awesome. Brad was able to see, do, and learn a lot. Dr. Beckstead said surgery is Brad's calling. We'll see...

Here's Brad, Bryn (the nurse practitioner), and Dr. Beckstead.

Also on Friday, my dad drove over to Casper to help us move. It was sure good to see him. And we needed the help. I don't know what happened, but somehow all of our things that fit in our car to get to Casper somehow multiplied (a lot) so there was no way we were cramming it all in our car for the drive to Pocatello. We were so grateful to my dad for making the trip! (Don't ask me how we're getting it back to Seattle!)

Lainy got to ride in Grandpa's truck the whole way. She loved it. I hope she wasn't too much of a hassle for my dad while he drove!

We had a gorgeous drive, especially through the Tetons. Look at these amazing pictures...

Can you see Table Rock? Look to the right of the Grand Teton

Brad and I climbed the Grand Teton the summer after we were married. Looking at it now, I can't believe I've stood on the summit.

Now we are happily settled in Pocatello. Brad's rotation is in Family Medicine. This time we've got a pretty nice setup in a roomy townhouse. Brad is thrilled with the garage. I'm thrilled with the big kitchen and dishwasher. The girls are thrilled with their new playroom in the closet under the stairs.

Our first day here it snowed all day! The girls and I sat by the windows and watched. It was beautiful.

So there's our update!
