Thanksgiving= yoga?








Happy sweet 16 to my sis! Sorry the shout out is a little late
So we just got back from very quick trip to Seattle for Thanksgiving and we had fun! This was Smitty's first Turkey day with my family and I was very excited for him to see how we spend thanksgiving. We drove to Twin Falls, ID on Tuesday night so that we could drive up to Seattle with my grandparents. We all left Wednesday morning and after hitting a thick wall of fog in the Blue Mtns we made it. First off Hannah tackles Smitty and everyone else hugs. While we went to rent WALL-E, Gavyn our surrogate brother showed up to hang out with Smitty & Dane. We spent the whole turkey day eating a hanging out with family. We had about 17 people show up. On Friday after our personal yoga session- yes, Smitty is doing yoga but he wants you all to know he is not happy about it! We then did my family's favorite family activity- shopping. We were on a quest for new shoes for my grandpa. After 6 hours of story telling, 3 salesmen, three stores and my grandpa trying to play 'outsmart the salesman' we got them, we also made a trip to Molbaks, a nursery close to are house that has a poinsettia festival every year. We finished the day with salmon, crab legs and calamari at Ivar's fish house. That's how we roll in Washington state!

Number 2!


After a little confusion we have another interview! Smitty will head to Henderson, NV January 13th for interview #2. We are excited about this one because our friend's the Nelson's are applying to UNLV so we will still have friends close by. Way to go babe!

On a sadder note....


First off- this is ashlee- I always seem to post as SMitty for some reason.
We recieved our first rejection letter yesterday from Pacific Northwest University in Yakima, Wa (2.5 hours from my fam) I talked to my dad yesterday so he knows the news, so this is for the rest of my family because they don't seem to pass along info! I am a little bummed becasue my family was pretty excited at the possibility of us being somewhat closer to them. Sorry babe, we tried.
