Looking Back on 2016
This year has been so full! We've moved around and accomplished a lot. I wanted to take a look at our year and review what we've done so here we go!
The Last Festivities of 2016
Christmas this year was exciting although I admit it didn’t feel
much like the holidays. This mostly had to do with our move. We didn’t have a
tree or any decorations up since we were still focused on putting the house
together. We spent Christmas Eve day and Christmas between my dad, mom and
Dallin’s parents. It was a lot of driving around but it was nice to be in homes
that were decorated for Christmas! It helped me get more into the spirit of the
season. We truly had a good Christmas with our families and it was so fun to be
able to see Jared through skype!
A few days later was Dallin’s Birthday! I am so grateful for him and everything that he does for me. I loved being able to celebrate him all day. We spent most of the day lounging around and playing board games and then his parents and Greg came out with KFC! We had dinner, played more games and ate cake and ice cream. It was a good day.

Graduation and Moving
Things have settled down for a moment and I finally have the time to sit down and write about the last couple weeks! Its been very busy and stressful but also exiting! We've experienced some big changes in our life and its been great so far
Last week we were finishing up our finals, trying our best to make sure that we passed our classes and that graduation was a go! We somehow made it through that hectic week to Friday. We were supposed to have both of our families at our apartment for dinner before graduation, which was at 8. Mother Nature had something different in mind however and a big winter storm rolled in, covering all of eastern Idaho. It was unbelievable how much snow we got overnight! The roads were horrible and an interstate was closed so a lot of our family couldn't make it. Dallin's parents and his brother Greg came.
It was a cold and snowy graduation but Dallin walked and got his diploma. Afterwards we took a bazillion pictures and then went to G's Dairy for some hot chocolate or ice cream!
The next couple days were spent packing and getting ready for the big move on Monday! We actually did really well getting everything packed and the apartment ready for the move. It was probably the most prepared we've ever been for moving. It was our seventh move so we've definitely had some practice! We rented a u-haul trailer and Dale picked it up with Dallin Monday morning when he brought his pickup.
The move went great and we were out of there pretty quick. It was harder than I thought it would be to leave Rexburg for good. I thought I would be thrilled but part of me was a little sad to be leaving. We made a lot of memories in Rexburg and it will be a chapter in our lives that we will always remember.
We arrived at Dietrich late that afternoon and got everything moved in with the help of Dallin's family and a couple of elders from our ward! It was really nice of them to come out an help us. It didn't take long before everything was moved in.
Its starting to feel more like home little by little. We've spent the last few days organizing and cleaning the house, putting our belongs where we want them and figuring out how we want to decorate. It's been fun living in a house and I still haven't gotten used to it but I know that I will love it!
It's going to take some time to fill the house. Right now we are using my sewing table to eat on and Dallin sits on a cooler! I can't wait until we can build a table and have a real dining room!

A Very Late Apartment Tour
This should have happened months ago but I finally got around to taking pictures.. 3 days before we move. Anyhow, here is our tiny little apartment which we grew to love and call home! It was a small and cozy 2 bedroom one bathroom apartment.
