Last weekend we went to Bear Lake with my family. We had a GREAT time!! Bear Lake is probably my favorite lake in Idaho/Utah. It is SO beautiful. I love the green/blue water. I love the endless beach. I love the tan I get everytime I go. And I love how it feels like no one is around you on the lake even though there are thousands of people. I have so many great memories of our family vacations to Bear Lake. Here are some pictures from our weekend.
I am sorry I have not posted for several weeks. Things have been crazy for us. We moved back to Idaho about two weeks ago and we are enjoying the cooler weather. The ride home was crazy and I hope I do not have to do anything like that again. My parents flew in late Friday night and I picked them up at the airport around 10:30. We went back to my apartment, load a couple last minute items and we got in the car and truck and headed for Idaho. We drove through the night and all of Saturday. We arrived in Shelley about 6:30pm on Saturday. We were exhausted!! We chose to drive through the night so Jason could sleep and so that the drive would not be so hard on him. Even though I do think it was best to do it this way, it was so hard! All of us were so tired!! We slept in until about 11:00am on Sunday morning and I think it took us a couple days to catch up on our rest. I am so thankful for my parents and their willingness to help us move! If it were not for them, we would not have been able to make the drive over night.
The first week we were back, we played hard every day. Kim has not taken a break since last September (winter semester ended on Thursday April 10th, we moved to Phoenix and Kim started his job for Keiwit on Monday April 14th) so he took the week "off" and we did most everything that was on our list To Do list. We had a great time hanging out with friends and family. In one week we managed to go horse back riding, to the zoo, to some good garage sales, we attended to a Chuckars game (a little bit different than a MLB game...but still it was baseball), Kim went fishing almost everyday, we went on endless 4-wheeler rides, we played in the sprinkler, we ate delicious dutch oven food (compliments to my in-laws), etc. Here are some pictures from our week.
Jason loves the cooler weather and the freedom of running in the yard and playing in the water everyday. He also loves seeing his grandparents, aunt and uncle, and cousins. Kim loves being back as well. He is such a country boy! The big city life is not for him...which makes me wonder how in the world we got married!! I love the city life. However, I must say that I would take raising a family in the country over being in the city. There are things about the country that the city just does not offer. On the other hand, there are pleanty of things about the city that you can't get in the country. So to sum it all up, I guess it comes down to what you want most. For Kim and I, it is to raise a family in a safe and caring community.
Well you are all probably wondering where we are living. We are currently living in my parent basement and we are not sure what we are going to be doing!! Our plan was to move to Rexburg and live in the BYU-I family housing because it is so cheap...$585/month and that includes all utilites!! We put our name on a waiting list in Feburary fully expecting to get in however, we did not get in. I called and was informed that we are still on the waiting list and that we would not be able to rent from them this coming semester. LOVELY!! So we turned to plan B, live in my parents basement until Kim finishes next July. Well, we found out on Tuesday that my parents recieved an offer on their home!! See my parents house has been for sale for about a year and they took it off the market in June because they had zero bites on it (and I think they wanted to provide a place for Kim and I to stay so that we would not be on the streets). Long and behold, a family that looked at it back in April now wants to buy it. Which is great for my parents, but a little stressful for Kim and I. We are not sure what we are going to do or where we are going, but I guess time will tell.
