New Beginnings

About two weeks ago we moved back to Provo. It's interesting being back in my hometown. I'm still trying to adapt. Since I am done with school, we decided to move back so that Garrett could pursue is dream of becoming a firefighter. He started taking classes in May, and he had to drive down to Provo a couple of nights a week to come to class. We figured it would be better if he was closer to school. So we are back. Here are some things that I am really enjoying about being back home:

We live in a house (huge plus).
I am two doors down from a lovely sister who I thoroughly enjoy spending time with.
Being close to my dad, old neighbors and friends.

Most of all, I am enjoying the house. I have been missing Salt Lake though. I've been trying to figure out why I feel so tied to that city. I think it is because I found myself when I moved there. I became my own person. I have also made friends who became like my family. I had so many great experiences there, and even though it is only an hour away now, I still feel sad. I feel sad that my close friends (not including family) are no longer five minutes away. I feel sad that I cannot walk over to ANOTHER sisters house and visit whenever I want. I feel sad that a chapter of my life is now over. I just have to keep reminding myself (as does Garrett) that we are starting something new. We are progressing. I will continue to keep that in mind.

I wish I had pictures of the new place, but I haven't taken any yet. I will soon and post them. But, I do have some DARLING picutres of my little man. Check him out.


We went to the pool on Saturday with Liz, Scott and the boys, and we had a great time. Here are a few more pics of the little event:


One more thing, I thought this was really funny. I wanted to take a picture of Grayson and I together, and every single time I held up the camera, Grayson either gave me a huge grin or giggled. It was so cute I ended up taking eight or ten shots, but here are just a couple. In the second one, you can tell that he was actually giggling. He is so cute.

Your haircut is super cute!! And welcome home! Provo--ah Provo. Those last couple pictures of you and Grayson are priceless. Frame and mantle worthy.

I love the hair! And.. welcome back! Change is always a little difficult but I'm sure you'll adjust just fine! We'll have to get together sometime!

Those pictures of you and Grayson are so cute. I think my favorite is the first one.

And, selfishly, I am super happy that we get to live so close to each other for the time being because it means that we get to hang out all the time. ;)
