MIKE IS HOME!!!
Dan's brother Mike is home from his mission!!! He got home today at 10:30 and we were all there waiting for him to come down! He looks so good. He is glowing! He is way tan and skinny haha and just looks so happy. It is amazing what missions can do to people. He has an amazing singing voice now and before he left he couldn't carry a tune haha. And he can play the piano and beat box and moon walk - haha, it's funny what else missionaries learn on the mission that is not mission related. But its so good to have him home. We are all so happy and he is so much fun to have around. Dan is so excited, he already has so much stuff planned for Mike and him to do. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Promotion
Ok, so this blog is going to have a lot in it because a lot has happened since I updated last. First of all, Dan had an interview for a promotion earlier this week and Friday he found out that he got it!!! We are both so excited! He has wanted to move up and he has had several interviews for it, but it hadn't happened yet and it finally did. We understand now why it didn't - there was just no way that it would have worked out well with how much school Dan is doing and taking on a new job, but now that the semester is almost over, its perfect! He has to put in his two weeks’ notice at the current branch that he is at, so by then the semester will be all the way over so it couldn't have worked out better for him.
Our weekend was great, Friday we wanted to have a fun night and celebrate Dan’s success, and lucky for us, some of his mission buddies called and wanted to get together so we decided to drive out to Salem (past Spanish Fork - so about an hour drive for us) to meet up with them and have fun. Right before we got there - they called to say it was canceled - at first we were really bummed out since we had just driven an hour to see all of them and it wasn't going to happen, but we decided that it was going to be a fun night anyway and we ate dinner in Spanish Fork and started to drive home. We spotted Boondocks and thought it would be way fun to go there. At first we decided to play some arcade games for a while and then we would do some other stuff like batting cages or go carts or laser tag or whatever else we felt like doing while we were there, but... because of my freakish addiction to winning tickets - we ended up spending the entire night playing games and getting lots of tickets - we ended up with just shy of 1,000. It was so much fun - we laughed so hard that night and it was so much fun to just HAVE FUN! Saturday was a very fun day as well - Dan had basketball in the morning and then after that we went to the Clark Planetarium for one of Dan's classes and had so much fun there - then we went to lunch at the Sky Box and watched some of the Yankee vs. Red Sox game and then went to a wedding reception. After that we just went home, relaxed, and watched a movie. Today we have had a great day at church and just spending time with each other. Normally we switch off weeks of whose parent’s house we are going to go over to for dinner on Sundays - but this week we decided to stay home just the two of us. It has been awesome!!!
Dan is amazing and has done so well in school - he was on the Dean’s list last semester and he just received his promotion and I couldn't be more proud of him - he has worked so hard!
