Settling in!

So after a month and a half of being in Utah, we finally got an apartment! As much as we love our families, staying 4 weeks with different family members was getting a little old. We had our stuff in storage and finally moved into our apartment 2 weeks ago. It's been nice to have our own place and be able to unpack our stuff. It's a nice central location to all of my workplaces and a quick trip to shopping places. We live in Bluffdale, Ut and have been loving being back.

Makena has started to grow and grow up. In the last few weeks she has really started to talk, laugh and smile. She's a sweet and beautiful little girl that has given us so much joy. She has been such a little trooper with all the travelling and uncertainty that we've encountered along our move back. She's already got over 4000 miles of travelling under her little tummy and she's done the vast majority with a good demeanor.

Rebekah has been loving having a place to decorate and nest in. She's done a good job with the unpacking and arranging. We've already hosted many people for dinner or visits and a few for overnight stays. You are all welcome to come also. Thanks again for being so kind and helpful to us. We couldn't ask for better friends, thank you all!!!!!
Thanks to Katie Foote for the great going away party, it was great, and good job on the Apache cake.PS- So to all those that I forgot to mention in my "visited in Utah" blog, nothing personal, just old age. We still love you.

Here are some pics of our latest happenings, hope you enjoy!

Oh my goodness, what a cute video! You guys, she is so beautiful and she is even prettier than when we saw her before! I'm glad you guys finally have a place to call home. That must be a relief. By the way, you guys have some pretty good looking friends... Ha ha! :)

I can not believe I never took the opportunity here in Alabama to meet your adorable little girl! She appears to be a very smiley girl.

Three of my siblings live in Herriman so not far from you all at all! I am coming to visit in October so maybe we will find a way to cross paths then... and it looks like we may be home in Marchish. Time is flying by.

PS. we are taking care of the plants and I just love having them!

Ok so one more random thought. Rebekah, remember that sign you made crooked with your car down the street from us?! Well I thought I'd let you know that today I noticed that it was STRAIGHT! They replaced it today, haha! :)

Bluffdale, UT??? Is that any bigger than Ft. Rucker. Well I guess anything is bigger. Have fun painting and decorating.
