absent

Ok so the last couple of months I have been completely absent from the blogging world. I feel like I have been so busy....


SO this entry is going to be all over the place but we are just going to do a little bit of a catch up.


So the beginning of July my mom and brother came up to thatcher for the fourth. We had a lot of fun together and it was so great to see them. Mom and Brett thank you so much for helping out with our yard work. You guys are the best. My mom had brought up a couple of surprises for me. The first surprise was a desk that she got from my grandpa for me to redo. The second was the most beautiful lamps for mine and Ethan's bedroom bedside tables. Ah I love them so much. They look so cute in our room. Thank you mom! I love you so much!

 Cute lamps my mom bought us!

 Ethan and I have since then made a couple small trips back and forth to Mesa and to Sierra Vista to visit our families. We love family time.


A week ago we got back from spending a week in Cali with my family! Best vacation ever. We love our family vacations every year to Newport Beach! I am the worst at taking pictures. I only managed to take three pictures the WHOLE trip. I am so lucky that I have a sister who is a photographer! Here are a couple of pictures from vacation!

We have the cutest niece and nephew ever!

 My dad and his "IDOL" Dave off of the TV show Storage Wars. You should have seen my dad.. he was like a little boy on Christmas morning.



Brett these next pictures are for you punk



Ethan and Benson were BEST FRIENDS this vacation. It was the cutest thing ever. They sat down by the waves for over an hour just playing together. Ethan is going to be such a great father.

A special thanks to my mom and dad for giving us such wonderful vacation! We had a blast this year and loved spending time with you. Thanks for all that you do! We love you.

                 

Here is a fun video of our week in Cali that my dad made! Check it out!http://www.vimeo.com/27445804



So after vacation we had some big decisions to make. We were contemplating about moving into a smaller apartment because our house rent was getting too expensive. We prayed about it and got the answer we needed. The next week we were packing up boxes (actually I packed every single box in the house while Ethan was at work)and moved into a tiny one bedroom apartment that we now love! We unfortunately had to get rid of a lot of things to make everything fit. But we love it and got everything moved in before school started.

Goodbye cute old home!



School started this week and its going great so far. Here is my cute husband on his first day of school. We got him a whole new wardrobe of clothes when we were in Cali. He is such a stud!
