Living in Utah


So we have been in Utah for three weeks now. We have secured an apartment and Chris has started a job. We have met some new friends. We have put the apartment on hold because Chris interviewed in SLC this week. So We are still in limbo as we wait/decide what we want to do and where we need to be. We have done some fun things since we have been here. Chris and I hiked to white pine about a 7 mile round trip and camped for the night. We got to try out some of our camping gear. It was so beautiful and full of wild flowers. I picked a beautiful bouquet for Gigi on the way down the trail. Gigi got to play with Grandma Anderson she went to the Parade and swimming. So much fun.

We have also had a new family member come since we have been here. Gigi has a new cousin, Kayden. He is a cute little peanut. Gigi loves it when we go visit or they come over. She is such a big help with both Brielle and Kayden. In fact he decided to come while we where in Oregon visiting my Grandparents. We went to the beach and saw Cameron come home from his mission too. It was such a pleasant trip visiting with family and enjoying playing games and eating home made pies all week.

Of course there was the fire works too. Which we went to Utah State Stadium to watch the fire works. So cool. It was Gigi's first time seeing them live and she was mesmerized. There was also a jet that flew right over our heads and really surprised us. Still we had so much fun with everyone. We had homemade chocolate chip cookies and played games while we waited for it to get dark.
