And Just Like That Summer is Ending

The next time I post we will have moved back to Idaho! Our summer here is almost over! In a week and a half we move back to Rexburg to go back to school. Every day of this summer felt so incredibly long, but now that its practically over I can't believe how fast its gone.

We've definitely been busy this summer! Between work and going back home I feel like we haven't gotten much down time. our 2016 summer has been packed.

The first weekend in July we went to Twin Falls to go through the temple with Jared. It was really good for me to go back since it had been a really long time. I was nervous but it was really nice to have Dallin's mom and my sister in laws there. It just feels good every time you walk out of there. Such a beautiful and peaceful place.

We went to the fourth of July celebration with my mom and in Malta and got to watch the fireworks which was really fun!

I also had the opportunity to speak at the Declo stake girls camp in July! It was such an incredible experience. The spirit was so strong and I am so thankful that I have been blessed with the ability to share my story. I've gone through some difficult trials in my life but now I can share them with others and help them. As I talked to girls and their leaders afterwards my heart was touched by their stories and I was overwhelmed with a deep love for them. I feel blessed to have been able to be there.

That same weekend we went to Jordan's graduation up in Rexburg. It was a busy weekend. We've made a lot of trips back home, particularly to declo and I've really enjoyed the time we've spent there.

In August we went to the fair and to Harris pond and a family reunion on Dallin's side at the Elba Park. Now THAT was a busy weekend. It was good though and we had a lot of fun!

This last weekend we went to Rexburg to get our keys and move a few things into the apartment early. It was fun to see our apartment and get a few things moved in! Dallin also went that day to Idaho falls with my younger brothers and played airsoft wars with a group there. He had a lot of fun and said that it didn't hurt nearly as bad as paintball. We were supposed to have some couches delivered to our apartment that day but when we text the guy we were getting them from he never answered and he never answered our calls either. It really sucked. They were the perfect couches. However, I think we found some other couches so I'm excited about that! On our way home this last weekend we stopped at the Salt Flats. It was super cool to see. Just miles and miles of salt!

We are looking forward to moving in to our own apartment again. I can't wait to decorate and make that space our own. Its going to be so much fun!

In between all the fun Dallin has been working so hard on the farm and really enjoying it. Ive also been keeping up with my blanket business. Still going strong!
