In the Navy!

Well we are very excited that Aaron was finally accepted and sworn into the Navy! We are so excited and so happy! Last friday Aaron's entire family all swarmed in and his dad was able to swear him in, which was really nice. We had Grandma, Aunt Nett, Nick, Blake & Jessica, Lance & Gayla, and even Janet and Daryl (aunt and uncle) from Utah came to see it. And of course Eric & Jenny and Justin & Carrie and Preston (his wifey was at work) met us at the park for the swearing in. Both Blake & Jessica and Lance & Gayla stayed with us for the weekend so you can understand, i'm sure, of how glad we were to have the bigger apartment. 
Aaron was sworn in Saturday morning at Smith park. In fact we did it right when there was a perfect break from the rain (as soon as it was over it just started to pour!). Then everyone came back to our place for some way yummie cupcakes i made (oh dont worry i'll post a pic of them cuz they were way cute little sailor men). one of my new hobbies is cupcake making...i know weird!
Now we are just waiting for all the paper work to get sent to all the right people and processed. The bummer is since we get paid by direct deposit it could take up to two months (but of course we will be back paid!). we are just so excited that Aaron is already set with a job after he graduates (which so many around here arn't) and that in this terrible economy right now we dont have to worry about job security or health insurance or just getting by, its refreshing.
thats about all the excitement for now.
