After our trip to Spain, we went to Yellowstone with Rob's family. We had found out that we were finally pregnant (after almost 4 years of trying), so we gave Mom and Dad Martinsen our souvenirs from Spain with a piece of paper - the results of the official pregnancy test that said, "Pregnant."
Mom just jumped up and down and screamed. Her reaction made it all worth it:)

This picture is special because it's the same map that Rob took a picture in front of when we were engaged. He sent that pic to me and that was the only picture I had of him while we were apart.

An excursion with the study abroad students took us to this breathtaking, ancient town that was built on the cliffs you can see behind us. Absolutely fantastic views everywhere you go.

Rob got a grant to do research in Spain -
so we took advantage and visited France
too. Crepes to die for; ancient, gorgeous
buildings and grounds. The Eiffel Tower
was amazing - sooo high and scary but
we did it!

Rob (excuse me, Doctor Martinsen) and one of his classes had a fiesta. Doesn't he just fit right in? He loves working at BYU and is doing an amazing job. He has been really successful in publishing his research and is a fantastic teacher. Lots of work, great people to work with, great hours:)
