Blair got out of school about 2 weeks earlier than her siblings since she was doing an online homeschool program. Throughout the school year when her siblings had a break Blair was still doing some work so she wouldn't fall behind. She didn't really get much of a break. Since she got out earlier I thought it would be fun for her to go visit Nathan's mom and other family in Idaho and then meet up with us at Grandpa Layne's wedding. She had a great time and I think she enjoyed being an only child for a couple weeks. I know she missed us (mainly Eden) since she said at times it was just too quiet! Haha! I definitely missed her! I did find it funny that everyone said how quiet Blair was and that she hardly talked at all...That is usually not the case when she is at home and with her siblings.
Aunt Bethanie sent me some pictures:

Nathan flew out with Blair since he needed to go to Utah and sign papers for his dad's wedding. Nathan was asked to officiate Layne's wedding. About a week before he was heading out he found out about a job opening in Twin Falls, ID. Our plan at this time was to separate from the Military in May 2022 and hopefully get a fellowship in Breast at the University of Utah and then hopefully get a job and move to Boise, ID. Well like I said a job opened up in Twin Falls so Nathan decided to apply. I believe this was on a Tuesday (May 18th) and by Thursday (May 20th) someone contacted Nathan about the job. Nathan told them that he would be in the area that weekend if they wanted to interview him in person. They set up a time for that Monday (May 24th). When Nathan originally applied for the job I believe he was under the impression that they needed someone with a breast fellowship so I think he was hoping that if he got the fellowship and that they liked him he would hopefully come work for them a year later in 2023. It turns out that they were looking for a general radiologist that could read breast and start in 2022. Nathan felt the interview went well but he told them that he would need to know if they wanted to hire him before June 1st so he could take him name out of the match for breast fellowship. They contacted him that weekend and told him he got the job! We felt good about it but I was still a little nervous since we didn't have a contract in hand. Everything thankfully worked out in the end so we will officially be separating from the military and moving to Twin Falls next year!
We took the kids out of school a day early so we could travel to Grandpa Layne's wedding. It was a nice ceremony in their backyard. Nathan was really nervous about officiating but he did a great job! It was really nice to see everyone and to finally meet Karla. She is super sweet!
Everyone but Blakely?!?
I have no idea where she is. I know she was there for our individual family picture but somehow she must have snuck off to play for the whole family picture.
Something funny...Karla has two granddaughters. One is named McKinley and the other is named Blakely. What are the chances? I guess we just have good taste in names!
The pictures I took weren't very good because of the lighting and shadows. I should have took a video of Nathan...
