Idaho Update

First of all, my apologies for the

delayed posting since we moved!

Things have been a little crazy trying

to get all settled and moved-in,

but I promise that I'll do better!

I still need to take pictures of our apt,

but I decided I better just post an update

for now, otherwise it may never happen!

...

A few tidbits about Moscow/Idaho:

*Make sure you know that

it's pronounced moss-coh; don't

say it wrong or people freak out!

I'm very amused that people

here absolutely expect others to know

how to pronounce the name of this tiny

city in northern Idaho.

My apologies for being an ignorant

Utahn who had previously only heard

of Moscow, Russia. Now that I'm an

Idaho resident, I'll try to do better.

...

*Idaho allows 15 year-olds to drive in their

state, but try moving here from another

state and you have to re-take the

written test to be issued a license.

What's wrong with this picture?

{we did pass with flying colors}

...

*Many of the streets here in Moscow

running N-S are the names of U.S.Presidents.

What a wonderful display of patriotism!
The part that cracks us up is the random

selection & order of these presidents.

The streets are in the following order:

-Jackson-

-Washingon-

-Jefferson-

-Adams-

-Van Buren-

-Polk-

-Howard-

-Monroe-

-Lincoln-

-Hayes-

{one of these things just doesn't belong,

one of these things is not like the others.

We're assuming William Howard Taft

is what they're going for here?

If anyone knows of a President Howard,

please enlighten us!}

On with the update...

Dave is enjoying law school so far.

Maybe 'enjoying' isn't the best word,

but it's going well & he finds it interesting.

It's definitely a lot of work though!

Dave, all ready for his first day of law school

{also apparently a plug for USANA Health Sciences

with his little breakfast shake}

...

Dave's cousin, Randy, and his wife, Nicole, are

currently living in Moscow as well. They have

an adorable little boy and have been SO

nice inviting us over for games &

introducing us to lots of fun people.

On Labor Day, we took a little trip with

them and Mike & Natalie Whitaker.

We went to the Palouse Falls about

1 1/2 hour drive away.

It was a fairly long drive to the middle

of nowhere, but the water fall was amazing!

My picture really doesn't do it justice.

Randy, Nicole & their cute little guy!

After the trip to the waterfall, we had a
DELICIOUS fondue dinner & dessert
at Randy & Nicole's--thanks again guys!
{their last name is also Todd, so that gets a little confusing)
It has really made me want to buy a fondue set!

Well, that's the update for now.
We're really enjoying ourselves so far!
