Change

Well my friends, a lot has happened since I last wrote. 

July 8, My brother Dustin and his Fiance Natalee got married in the San Diego, CA Temple.  Travis, his girlfriend Jamie, Jeff, Mason, and I drove to San Diego for the weekend to celebrate in their sealing!

Mason learned how to roll over and sit up by himself.

August 20, We moved to Minden, NV - where Jeff will be working for New Valley Property Management doing Accounting, Finance, Bookkeeping, and Analyst work.  So far we like living here in Minden.  The drinking water is the best in the state! the ward isn't so bad, (and for those of you who didn't know, I lived in Minden from Grade 6 to my senior year in High School, and then once over the summer in 2008 for my Internship), I am becoming friends with the parents of the kids who were my age growing up, Even though I lived here once before - I feel like I am living here for the first time - both Jeff and I are excited to experience all that Nevada (northern Nevada and minus the gambling) has to offer.  We are currently living with my parents until we can save enough money to get out on our own again.  In these economic times, I'm just glad that my parents were willing to take us in... I feel like a chick lit and my mother is the hen, opening her wings as we come under them. It is only temporary, but I don't know how long temporary is.




August 24, I cut all my hair off! I am now officially a PIXIE! :)

August 25, we drove back to Utah, had to return the jeep and trailer we borrowed in moving back to Jeff's parents, also, Travis and Jamie got married August 27 in the Bountiful, UT Temple.  It was a short and sweet ceremony, and afterwards, the photographer got straight down to business and we weren't there for very long.  Plus, it was good to see Andrea, Mikke, Ayden, Norah, Ivy, and Lydia again (it always seems to be too far and few between that I get to see them and hang out), and we got to see Dustin, his wife Natalee and her daughter Ashley!

September 3, Travis and Jamie came to NV to have an Open House.  In preparation for that, we landscaped the yard (we - my dad and Jeff), prepared the food - and all that that entails, the decorations, media, cleaned the house and even got to redesign and decorate it! (that was the fun part).  The Open House turned out to be small, but more people showed up than what Travis was expecting, so that was good.

September 4, Sunday Evening, heard from Ashley, (Jeff's sister who lives in UT, but came down to Tahoe for the weekend) that the Lake was having fireworks for Labor Day, so Mason, Jeff, and I went up and enjoyed that with her... Kind of random because I had lived here before and this was the first time I had heard of fireworks up at the lake, heard it from a Utahan visiting Tahoe. 

September 5, Labor Day.  Mason is Officially CRAWLING!!!! Today was the DAY he learned to crawl, and boy is he fast.  He is so inquisitive, eager, interested, and strong.  He gets into everything and everything goes into the mouth! we just love it, and what is even more fun is that my parents are just eating up every second with him. :)
