Well, I need to keep track of my life and I guess I feel the need to let y'all keep track too! So here we go.
~ The end of April we loaded up the Uhaul and hauled our lives to Cody, WY. We had bought our house 1 year earlier and of course nervous.....and very sad...... to sell it. BUt we were blessed beyond belief and it got 2 offers on it in the first week on the market and the first people to come and see it were actually the ones who bought it. Plus we got such a good price on it when we bought it that we were able to break even. So here we are in Cody. Jake is working in a private practice now and really liking it. The weather is really nice for summer compared to the outrageous heat that is going on in WA right now. I won't complain too much about our near 90 today. Some things that I am loving about Cody: 1- The library is awesome!!!! They have the best summer reading program that the kids read and do activities to earn tickets which they then can put into drawings for different prizes....like awesome prizes and there are A LOT! 2- Our ward does fitness classes 2 days a week, and one of them is Zumba... my new found love! 3- It's fun to get to see family on a fairly regular basis....Plus we are closer to mine.
We are excited to be here and can't wait to have a place of our own again here.
~ We had my family reunion this last weekend and it was fabulous. We went to Glacier National PArk and rented a house big enough for all of us in Columbia Falls. The house was awesome! It was roomy and had a beautiful yard. It was nestled up in the trees outside of Columbia Falls. The kids played outside basically anytime we were at the house. It had a pond with a waterfall so they would "fish" with sticks in the pond. Then on the last night we were there, at just about dark, a neighbor came over and told us that he had watched a grizzly walk from his back yard and was heading toward our house. ANd that there had been another one pass through earlier in the day.. Holy Freaky! Our kids had been playing outside the whole time we'd been there with not a whole lot of supervision!!!! BUt it was a good time! The WHOLE family was there too! Rhett was in the states on business for the month of June and was able to take some time off and come too!
~ We are traveling it up this summer....June started with a trip to Idaho, just me and the kids, Then it was just my reunion, and next week is Jake's reunion in Bear Lake. Jake also has the 5th off so maybe we'll leave early! I'm sad it's already July though. I don't want to go back to real life!
