Our poor health seems to finally be over. After the last update Ezra came down with a 104˚ (by the way, the Fahrenheit degree symbol is option + k on a Mac) fever which didn't come down for two days and then mysteriously left. We took him to the doctor which was a horrible, traumatic experience for him and after running the tests they didn't find anything (which is exactly why I try to avoid going to the hospital/dr. office at all costs).
Meanwhile, Eli tripped over my big toe and peeled the nail back halfway. We couldn't find the alcohol so I dipped my toe in Listerine for a few minutes. Did it kill the germs? I don't know, but it hurt really bad so I think so.
Anyway, we are all currently healthy for the first time in 5 weeks. David is finishing up his finals and pulling kid-duty while I work like crazy to finish two web projects. One is due Apr. 24 and the other is due as quickly as possible after that.
Also, we are waiting to hear back on whether or not David will get a Fulbright grant to do research in Laos for a year. The letter should be coming within the next 10 days. We are also waiting to hear back from the NSEP Boren Fellowship, another year-long research grant but it would be in Thailand. AND we are also waiting to hear whether or not he will get security clearance to work for the State Dept. at the US embassy in Bangkok this summer.
So, we really don't know exactly what the next 3-12 months will be like for us. It's a major waiting game right now. Luckily the time is flying by with all the stuff we have to do, not to mention my new photography biz, which is more of a creative outlet than anything else but I would spend all my time on it if I could.
Anyway, that's what's goin' on.

I laughed out loud thinking of your poor, ravaged toe in Listerene. That's ingenuity! Let me know how it comes out. Your dad and I are glad your seige of illness has finally bit the dust and everyone is healthy again!!!!!!!!!
hey that's cool. but how the heck do i sign up for classes at byu?
All very exciting news! Laos is my husband's favorite country he's been to..so we are rooting for there. Hope what ever is best and your favorite comes through for you.
Hey I'm so happy to hear that the illness are now finally over. We haven't been able to get together as much as I would like. Let's play before you go. Good luck with all the waiting ;) your photography is amazing. Hope to see you soon. Let me know if you need anything.
You sound so busy, but that is good. I just love your photography website. Your pictures are awesome. If you lived closer I would try to talk you into teaching a photography class. I would love to learn what you know about photography. I know a lot is just your natural talent, but I am sure you could teach a lot too.

I'm super happy to have that detailed update. I agree with you on the doctor business-my gosh they like to traumatize. We couldn't be more proud of David, and I can't wait to give him a big fat huge hug!!
Also Jade-I seriously just dripped blood all over our whole place thinking my toe wasn't as bad as it was. With a closer look I see that the center of the nail is gone. ba-bye, gone. Okay gross. I'm so happy we had hydrogen peroxide, because Listerine does not sound like my cup of tea! You are too brave!! I can't wait to see you next week, I'm pretty much dying about it.
