Everytime I write on my blog, I feel like I need to apologize, like with my journal. I admit, I'm horrible and taking time to write. But to be fair, we have had a BUSY busy summer with lots of hiking, camping, exploring and traveling. It started when the good weather happened, and has been winding down since school started again.
Trevor had a GLORIOUS 8 1/2 months off of school. It was beautiful! He worked at the complex that we lived at and so I saw him all day long and then when he was home, he was actually home! No homework, no tests to study for, and did I mention, NO HOMEWORK?! I am sure he loved it just as much as we did. We made sure to take advantage of what seemed like our last summer before life happens!
We went camping to Green River, hiked Arches, visited St. George and hiked around Zion's National Park, played at Downata, celebrated the 4th of July, Trevor and Ryker had a fun Father/Son campout, camped in Logan Canyon and flash mobbed a nearby wedding (yes, for real and I didn't feel one bit bad about it), celebrated the 24th of July (for the first time in years and years), went to Hoogle Zoo, This is the Place, played at the park, had Sunday dinner's with the BFF, and had tons of play dates. We were busy up until we moved.
Thats right, add in trying to de-clutter again so we didn't have to haul a junk load again. Our summer was fabulous and we loved it! I was super sad to move out of Spanish Fork. It was such a fun town, close to great shopping, my bestie, and attractions, and I would move back in a heartbeat if Trevor was offered a job there. It was just the small town feel with everything close by! My kind of thing.
We moved to the greatest city, another small town feel with lots and lots to do! I am further from Ikea, which is a money saver and a bummer all in one. I LOVE where we live! We have a nice old neighborhood, meaning BIG trees with lots and lots of shade! We have a garage (YAY!!!), a back patio for grilling and letting the kids out, but not out of sight, lots of grass (BIG YAY) and 5 fun playgrounds within walking distance. The aquatic center is around the corner along with the zoo and fairgrounds down the street. We are in what I think is the best part of town and I am so happy here! My kitchen has more than 5 cupboards and we have 4 bedrooms to stretch out it. It is glorious!
Now we are back to the student life again and its a bit of an adjustment.
