the BAR

Aaron takes the bar this week! It starts tomorrow and finishes Thurs.. 3 long days of essays and multiple choice questions. ugh. He will take it at a hotel in North Las Vegas, and instead of driving there everyday, (fighting traffic our favorite thing about Vegas) he is going to stay at the hotel. This is a big deal and we are all praying for him. Good luck, good-looking! We know you can do it!
The good news is.. my wonderful, fabulous in-laws are taking our crazy boys to Arizona for 3 days. I am going to stay at the hotel with Aaron.. (swim, read, and be there when he's ready to eat a meal.. you know, give him the support he needs :) while our kids are off to play with their grandparents! After the bar, Aaron and I will drive to Taylor, AZ to pick them up and hang out for the weekend! Three cheers for Aaron's parents! Hip-hip Hooray! It's not that I won't miss my kids.. it's just that I need a practice round for when we go to Hawaii. 3 days will give me a taste of what's it's like to be away from them for 8... That's what I'm really looking forward to!

Good Luck Aaron. Chris just took his step 3 and it was a two day test and I think he was really exhausted after so I can't imagine doing it for three. Good thing your there Janet. Have fun reading. There is always Harry Potter. Which is one of my favorites right now. Man I am jealous of all that you time you are getting. Enoy!!!!

AARON! AARON! AARON!!!! I hope it went well. Such a great idea from the grandparents...for everyone involved. Grandparents are the best! I am anxious to hear how he feels about it and then in a few months (?) to hear how well he did! Love you guys!
