Careers and holiday celebrations.

I'm lame. I have a hard time updating this whole blog thing - and I know that Nathan would never update it, I wonder if he even knows that this thing even exists? Anyway, to make up for my lameness I will just have to fill you in on the latest and greatest of the Leavitts. Since the last post we had an open house for Nathan's sister Emily and her husband Tucker from the wedding during Thanksgiving break (you will have to stalk Emily's facebook for pictures) and we also celebrated Christmas with Nathan's family in Lewiston. We stayed at the Leavitt's house for practically an entire month - and that is no exaggeration, but we had lots of fun and ate way too much food. Nathan claims that he gained 10lbs while we were there, which may be a slight exaggeration.

Oh, I forgot to say that when we got home after Thanksgiving we had a snow day! It snowed 8inches overnight in Boise, and the entire University was closed! Best. day. EVER. Duke really enjoyed the snow. Oh, and I had to buy Duke a Christmas sweater...Nathan hated that I dressed the dog.I think it's cute.

In January we started school again, I am taking some studio art classes, and Nathan is busy with sciences classes and an "internship," which he is basically getting credit for job shadowing. Oh man - I almost forgot the most exciting news of all, Nathan has decided to become a ....

DENTIST!

Maybe you all aren't as relieved as I am to know that Nathan has finally made a "final" decision as to what his career goals are. Originally he was pursuing Medical School but after job shadowing some of the professions that he was interested in, he decided that is wasn't for him. Erin, Nathan's dad-who is also a dentist, always has Nathan come in and help at the office and during Christmas Break it just sort of dawned on him that dentistry is the really the best option for what he is interested in. With all that in mind, he will be taking the placement test, DAT, this summer, and be applying to schools this fall and hopefully he will snag an interview. Yay!

Lastly, Valentine's Day is my FAVORITE holiday - but no one really knows why, I just like it. We went and had lunch together instead of dinner, we both have night classes, so it just worked out that way. I got Nathan Mario Kart for the Wii, and don't worry he has had it for a week, and the whole game is nearly beaten. And I got flowers and an iTunes gift card, which I really wanted. I also made chocolate fondue with strawberries, pound cake, rice crispies and brownies - it was, delicious, not to brag - but it was.
