First, we moved back over to Shelley, ID and moved into Erin's parents house so I could finish my clinicals at the hospital in Idaho Falls and not have to take out student loans, very thankful for them to help out. I finished my last semester there and finally graduated from the Radiology Tech. Program!! Woot woot! There was a lot of sacrifice and stress and all kinds of mixed emotion that were endured during these last couple of years, and I am soo glad it's done. I scheduled to take my national registry test a week and a half after I graduated to get it over with. I studied that whole time and was stressed out so much. My test was in Utah. There was alot of other stuff going on with the family and stuff, so after all the planning this is what happened:
My sister Britt was moving down on friday back to Eagar,AZ. My parents were heading down there for some business so they were taking a load of stuff for them down. I ended up driving one of their cars full of stuff too down to Utah, took the test, then the next day drive the car to AZ for them. I drove down to Utah early so I could have a little bit of study time. Well I parked down the street from the testing place and studied and when it was closer to time to leave, I tried to leave and the car battery had died because I forgot to turn the light off when I parked to study (my mind was freaking out about the test ok!). So I had to wander around frantically to try and find someone to help me jump start my car so I could make it to my test on time. I finally found a nice guy who helped me, and I went straight over there without very much extra study time or eating anything. I took the 220 question, 3 hour test, and I got an 81!!! I was so excited to get done with that. I went and stayed with my friends Cord and Whitney and as the day went on, my stomach muscles would get looser and looser and it was aching because of how nervous I was before. Man it was so nice to be done with that.
The next morning I drove to AZ with my sisters stuff with no AC and no cruise control. It wasn't to bad really, other than getting my left arm fried from having the window rolled down. I met up with my parent in Eagar and dropped off the car and we headed to Show Low to stay with my grandma. The next morning my dad and I headed for Blackriver, where we love to go fishing because of how great the fishing is and how much fun we have with all the people that are there. The Bigelows are always a fun and crazy bunch to be around. We were there for three days and caught a lot of fish. The second day I caught 11 fish on my first 11 casts!! It was amazing. We fried up fresh fish that night too and it was amazing. There was a lot of people in camp, and it was a blast.
We got back on saturday night and the next morining decided we needed to make a stop in Phoenix to try and find Katelyn and Jade a car. You can read their wild story of why they needed one here. So we went down there and called all sorts of people on the way down to see where to find a car and we ended up calling a guy that was leaving to Australia that weekend and needed to sell his car and we got it from him. So, the next morning, my mom and I drove the truck and trailer back to Idaho while my dad stayed and put new tire on and made sure everything was good then took off to Tennessee to take the car over to them and fly back later after he dropped it off. Pure craziness of a trip it was, haha.
I got back up here and now I got hired at the last hospital I did clinicals at! It is only PRN/On call (kinda whenever needed) but it is getting my foot in the door so hey, I'm excited to get my career started.
Erin is doing great, she just started more classes for the summer so she'll be pretty busy, doing that and working at the school.
Other than that there is just a bunch of stuff going on, it's flooding up here and fires down by Eagar are insane and everybody down there are evacuating, Erin's grandpa just passed away (sad day), and too many other things to add. It is just crazy right now!!!!!!

Man, I am so jealous. That fishing trip looks AWESOME. It also looks like it may be a while before we get good fishing in Black River. That place is going up in smoke! Sad. Stupid, too, because it was avoidable.
