Moving

So, a lot has happened since the last time I posted. First off, Josh got a promotion at work. He will be assistant manager of the Twin Falls/Hailey Branch. So we are moving this weekend. Josh will be starting his new position on Monday, Aug 1st. I'll be staying at my job here in Boise until I find a new one over there. I'll only be working 3 days a week here so the majority of my time will still be in Twin Falls.

We also went to family reunion this weekend for my Mom's side of the family and it was so great! All of us cousin's are grown up and our family is growing! We started out by going to the Manti Temple, which was such a great experience to have the family there and know that we are all on the right path! We then continued on to my Uncle's cabin which he's still working on, but it was nice and big and plenty of room for all of us!!

Josh was most excited to be able to ride the horses, so we went on about 1 1/2 hour ride and that was fun. We even got to have the horses run for a bit which wasn't something I had gotten to experience before and I enjoyed it so much!!

The rest of the time was spend hanging out with family and taking naps and everything was awesome! I am definitely looking forward to continuing that every year. We used to do family reunions every year when Grandma was alive, but after she passed we've only done it once or twice. I'm glad we'll be starting to do them more often. I miss being able to see my cousins and know what is going on with everyone.

The next big trip is Disney World!! Only 4 months away and I just can not wait! It should be a lot of fun for Josh and I!

Well, I guess I'm not very good at elaborating on anything, so still a short post, but plenty happening! Back to packing now :)

Loving Summer!

So it's been almost 2 months since I last updated!! I don't think too much has really changed though. Summer has finally arrived and it has been so hot and sunshiney and beautiful!! I haven't gotten to enjoy being outside too much yet though :(

On the fourth I had a day off of work so spent it in Nampa with the family and that was a lot of fun! It was the perfect temperature to play outside in the water and splash around and enjoy the company of my nieces and mom and dad and sister. While we were all playing in the water dad built the kids a treehouse! It looked great! He's such an amazing guy, got it all built and put together and I don't think it took more than 3 hours!! The girls of course absolutely loved it!! Josh had to work that day so that was 3 Independence days in row that we didn't get to spend together. We are determined to be able to enjoy the holiday together next year!!!

We have put a hold on the house hunting until we know a bit more about what our next "life" step is going to be. Which is basically all going to come down to Josh's promotion and where that will take us. Hopefully we'll know before too much longer. He grills (takes this test and interviews with the area manager I think it is?? to be able to go from Management Trainee to Asst. Manager) on Tuesday and after he passes with flying colors (as he does with any test and everything else he ever tries) he'll be able to apply for the position!!

I am still loving my job and hoping that I get to continue to advance in my career as well, or I might end up as a stay at home mom, or work a couple days a week, depending on what happens next!!

Our trip to DisneyWorld is all planned and set and I am looking forward to December and know it will be here before we know it!!!

Well, I think that is a pretty good summary of the past two months! Not much changes when all we do is work!!

Oh yeah.. and my hair is now purple...
