A really really really good day: probably too many exclamation marks

So, while we were soaking up some California sun, Jesse was back at the ranch. Monday (yesterday), he had his last day teaching Seminary. His kids made him a HUGE card with quotes from him and bits of things they learned during the last 6 weeks. He really made an impression on the kids. We are so grateful for this new job, but we've promised each other that Jesse's still going to be a teacher someday.

Which brings me to the good stuff...

Jesse had his first day at Avista. He was the bearer of good news yesterday. He called while we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house to say...we passed our theses! We have Masters degrees! Yahoo!

Then, he texted me some more great news: we have full benefits!  And three weeks paid vacation!

So when he got home, we broke out some sparkling cider and he was the toast of the town. A good day indeed.
