Memories of May

19 Weeks Old

This week was very eventful!

I got a phone call one day from Cody as he was out golfing, it went something like this: "You better sit down, what I'm going to tell you may shock you. You are talking to the newest member of the hole-in-one club." Congratulations Cody!

This week Cody's sister Mindy and her son Christopher came to visit us. We had a blast visiting the zoo, Como Town, the Mall of America, and of course we had to get cupcakes :) 

Both of our parents also arrived in town and Cody gave Madi her baby blessing in our sacrament meeting on Sunday.

 This week also brought a lot of excitement :)

For starters, Cody Graduated!!! 

Cody graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Masters in Hospital Administration. 

Cody was also offered a position as the Adimistrative Fellow at Salem Hospital in Salem, Oregon so he will be starting there in July, so fun to see all of his hard work starting to pay off. 

Thanks to everyone who traveled to come support Cody and Madi! We appreciate your sacrifice and loved having a group celebrate with us :)

21 Weeks Old

 

Cody's graduation meant an end to our time in Minnesota :( We are grateful for all of the friendships we established during our brief stay in the Twin Cities. I say we established friendships because this is only the beginning, we plan on keeping in contact with the many wonderful people we met here. 

Once our wonderful families had returned to their homes, we packed up ours and hit the road. Our plan was to drive to Powell, Wyoming and spend two weeks with Cody's family. Then drive to Sandy, Utah to spend time with my family and then we would drive to our final destination, Salem, Oregon.
