Family Fun...


We forgot how much we love being with family! It had been 3+ months since we had seen the fam but the last weekend in June we went home to have loads of fun with them. We did all kinds of things...
Facials and Pedicures
Paintballing
The worst war wound goes to Cody!
Swimming
Chuch-A-Rama
Classic Skating
Minute To Win It...Matt killed everyone! But they ALL still thought they were tough.
We went to opening OWLS game...


We ended the fun with some family pics...


Thanks mom and dad for so much fun. More than the activities, it was so nice to be with those we love. Being in our own little world down here we easily slip away into our haven but we enjoyed our time at home way too much...in fact we went up again the next weekend for some fireworks. We love our family so much and we appreciate all the love and service they render to us. We would not be the grown up kids we are today without them, especially our parents. We love you all!

Life!

Life in St. George has been perfect! We play hard and work harder for sure. There is at least 1 day a week that we go swimming...having a pool in your backyard is the way to go. The hot tub under the starry sky after a long day at work is just the thing.
Here's what's going on: We have recently started in the nursery. We are definitely getting insight to being parents...this is no hint. We are having fun...and the best part of the day is when we come home and take our Sunday nap. Every Sunday we also take a walk and look at the beautiful homes down here. There are some beauties! The landscaping of St. George is even more incredible. We are truly in our own little haven. Not to get too spiritual, but I do have to say that we are very blessed. Our Savior has given us the greatest opportunity to build our lasting relationship and try to plan for our life ahead. Try being the key word...nothing is set in stone. As I applied and anticipated a postion at the hospital down here, just last week I was informed that I was not a chosen. This was somewhat heartbreaking but only for a moment as I can't wait to see what other path is in store. My Heavenly Father knows what is best for me and I trust in him more and more with each passing day.
Cody started summer school at Dixie. He is a nervous school boy but he will be just fine. It is weird not being the one doing the homework but I like it. I am taking some religion courses through BYU Idaho getting ready for my bachelors degree.
We watch the Bachelorrette on mondays and SYTYCD wednesdays and thursdays. Good shows this summer!
The first 10 mo. have been a blast! Time has passed so fast...2 more mo. and we are at our first year mark. Crazy!
