Nebraska and More

We were able to catch up with our GREAT friends Brenda and Emil last weekend in Nebraska. As always we had a blast and laughed a lot. We absolutely love them and love that they love and enjoy our little kiddos as well.






Uncle Emil enjoying Averie's tea




Daddy and Danton enjoying there time as well.




It has been 2 years since we lost Danton's dad to Pancreatic Cancer. We hadn't seen his stone so we all made the trek out to see it. It was also special because for Danton's last speech in his Public Speaking class they were to do a commemorative speech and he choose his dad, and it was a great speech.




Averie helped put new flowers out




This side was dedicated to his military service




This side was dedicated to his family



We had a great time in Nebraska. It would be great to live closer to Emil and Brenda. Maybe someday!!!



On Monday Danton finished up his last class for the Spring Semester!!! I am so impressed with how well he does especially with all that is on his plate. He came away from both classes with A's.
Now we are ready to submit the final paperwork for Paramedic School and selection will be made in a couple months. He has been given verbal acceptance to Denver Health's Paramedic Program and if all goes through he will start in September and it goes until next August. This is a very intense program that will require school 3 nights a week for 4 hours and also 500 clinical hours. Knowing that he will have to put a lot of himself into that program we decided it would be best to take this summer off of school.
So, one person down with school and now we just have Averie. Very bittersweet. I am glad Danton is done but with Averie being done it just means she is growing and is going to be in 1st grade. Where did my little girl go?
