Packing and Moving and Preparing

We have finally made it home to Idaho! We had such a fun visit with all our friends and family! We spent a lot of fun family time with Mike's family in Virginia, we were able to visit with our friends Kyle and Alice and their cute little baby Emmaliyah. I was able to go and be a part or Kelsey's wedding and we got to visit where Mike grew up in Illinois. Anyways we had an awesome time away, but it feels so good to be in our own home. But we will be moving out in a few days, so we have to pack and pack like crazy in the next couple of days!!

We will miss Rexburg a lot more than we thought we would. Rexburg is where we met, where we dated, where we started our lives together and spent the first year of our marriage. It really is a great place to live and to start a family, but there isn't much left for us here. We will miss it, but we are very excited about what is still ahead of us elsewhere. The birth of our baby boy, Mike finishing up school at wherever we decide to go, and the many other things that the Lord has in store for us in the near future.

So, off we go to face the world, have a baby and hopefully get a really good job so we can move wherever the academic winds take us.

Crazy Kicker!

We have been in Virginia for a week now. We are having fun with Mike's family going to the movies and clothes shopping for Mike, myself, and even the baby has some new threads!! ;) And since we've been here little jr. has been kick kick kicking away like there's no tomorrow!! It doesn't bother me or hurt me any (yet) but he sure is letting the world know that he is in there. Reece would take this as a sign that he will follow in his uncle's footsteps and become a pro soccer player hehe ;)

Anyways, just a quick update that we are here enjoying our little vacation and that baby is doing good. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and summer as it comes to a close for a lot of you.
