Leaving Home


We've had a lot of fun with family and friends trying to milk out our "last" everything. We have packed up our home and moved East. Here is our last week in a nutshell. The moving company came and packed up all of our belongings. Then we moved in with the Hansens ( My sister and her family who are always so good to us.) One weekend we went up to Park City and enjoyed dinner with our great friends the Keiths, Aarons and McGowns. We went to Baja Cantina, a restaurant we all enjoy. While up there we went on the Alpine Coaster, a version of the Alpine Slide but much better because you can go so fast without tipping off. (My pictures for this are on my other computer so you'll have to check Matt and Shannon's blog for pictures.)


On the 27th we blessed our little Maggie. She was so good and her dad gave her a beautiful blessing. Thanks to all of you friends and family who joined us that day.
Later that evening we had a party at Rich and Anne's (Mike's brother) they have a fantastic yard and we enjoyed food and visiting with people that we love.






Tuesday I was able to have lunch with my girlfriends. We've had fun together and been able to rely on each other with questions and the occasional boredom we suffer.

Tara, Shannon, Summer & Shauni (Jen couldn't make it.)


My sister has spent the summer re-doing her pool.
This put a big damper on our summer. So the pool was finished two days before we flew out but they still had to fill it. Thursday night the pool was getting close to being full.


She added a rock waterfall and slide. Mike just couldn't resist the ice cold hose water and took a plunge. He made our night. It ended up being a busy and crazy week.
