BRAZIL - Here we come!

Graduation week was crazy for us! Besides all the preparation for finishing school, we were packing our apartment into two categories....Brazil and Charlotte. We had our luggages packed for Brazil and our boxes ready to go for Charlotte. The apartment was empty on Thursday so we spent the night at Uncle Layne's house and got ready for Friday (graduation day and our last day in Provo). From Friday until the next Wednesday, we stayed with Ellis and Terry in Layton. The last of our "sleepovers at Grandpa's". Wednesday morning Ellis and Terry drove us to the SLC airport, we boarded our plane, and that was our last look at the beautiful Salt Lake Valley. We would spend 5 weeks in Brazil! (April 26-May 31)

The day we arrived Monica lost a tooth while jumping on Roger's trampoline. (Arthur's head was involved.)
