Playing Catch Up

Well a couple of people have been asking about our blog and it has motivated me to play catch up and update all who are wondering "What is new with the McGraths?"

So this year has been quite eventful and full of blessings from our Heavenly Father. This pregnancy has been wonderful, I have really enjoyed the journey. I can't believe it is almost done! I'm due August 17th which is just around the corner. We are expecting a girl and we will name her Audrey Jana McGrath. Thanks to all for the great gifts, it has been a huge blessing! I was able to finish 2 semesters of school and I even graduated with my Assosicate's Degree this past April. Rod and I also celebrated our one year anniversary in April--it has been the best year of our lives!

Rod has completed another semester and only has one more to go! He will graduate this December. I am so proud of him and his devotion to school and providing for his family; he is such a hard worker! Rod also has a new job working as an accountant in Rexburg for a hotel located in Island Park (near Yellowstone). It keeps him busy and he really enjoys it. His boss loves his professionalism and work ethic and wants to keep him around for a while which means if all plays out we might become permanent residents of Idaho! Scary thought. Rod also enjoyed playing for the Eastern Idaho Lionz a semi-professional football team.

A little bit more to say...
We recently bought a car and sold the 4runner. We are now the proud owners of a 2000 Toyota Avalon. We put the baby's car seat in the other day and it looks so good! Last thing: We are moving into a new apartment! We found a great apartment that will be affordable and a better fit once the baby comes. We are moving in August 8th (so I'm hoping Audrey will stay put until we get settled).

Hope you have enjoyed the update. Love you all!
