Hard to Believe

• It's hard to believe that Brennen and I will both be walking in graduation in two days. It seemed like just yesterday I was in my first college class.
• It's also hard to believe I'll be quitting my awesome job at the plasma center in three weeks and start student teaching 2nd graders!  
• It's hard to believe we'll be leaving cold, icy, windy Rexburg for sunny, warm, beautiful Mesa in just 6 months!
• It's hard to believe that in 6 months I will no longer have to put up with this kitchen:

and I will soon have this kitchen:

or something like unto it.

• It's hard to believe that in 6 month's we'll be graduating from our little, subsidized, 30-year-old apartment to a newer, cleaner, bigger townhouse.
• It's hard to believe this will be our last winter with snow (pffft).
• It's hard to believe when my children go to college, they'll say "I'm from Arizona"
• It's hard to believe that we're moving on and growing up so quickly.

But...

I'm excited to start this new adventure.

Excited to live somewhere new.

Work somewhere new.

I mean, look at this:

And it's only 20 minutes away.
Hard to believe, I know.

Bringing Sexy Back

...To Idaho that is.

So, I know that it's been a while since I've ventured

back into the blogging world, but it's been a busy past few weeks.

Why, hello there handsome.

Sorry, not a ton of pictures of OKC, but

it was beautiful.

I was there November 20-22 and it was still

green

with leaves

and grass...

and warm too.

We headed over to the OKC zoo

which was free that day..

Most of the animals that were out were all 

animals that were native to Idaho...

Elk.

Buffalo.

White-tailed deer.

Then later that day, we went to the OKC Bombing Memorial.

Now, if you're anything like me

you don't know anything about the OKC Bombing.

Well, if you would like to learn a little about it,

you can go here.

I wish I could have live in OKC with Brennen.

We loved it there and didn't want to leave.

But, duty calls.

One day I thought I lost my camera, so no pictures from that day.

Turns out it was just in the glove box of the car.

We left Oklahoma on Thanksgiving,

just thinking that we could pick up some dinner at a restaurant.

Ha. Ya right.

NOTHING was open that didn't have a line

out the door and twice around the building.

So we stopped at a supermarket/fast food joint called Braums

and grabbed some chicken strips and french fries.

That first day we drove through Oklahoma

through the panhandle of Texas

and ended our night in Santa Fe, NM.

Where we did some Thanksgiving night shopping.

The next day we drove from Santa Fe to Salt Lake.

Taking the scenic route.

  We came up through Moab since I have never been there before.

It was so cool.  Not a ton of pictures because it got dark pretty fast.

Once we got to SLC, we did some shopping,

sleeping,

and came home the next day.

For once, I didn't want to come home.

So....Home.

Pfffttt.  Ya, welcome home.

Don't think me an awful person,

but it's been HARD adjusting to having him home.

But, it was hard adjusting to him leaving, so 

I guess it makes sense that it's been hard.

But will all that said, I'm glad he's home.

So that was our adventure. 

Our three month adventure.

And now...

I have presents under my tree :)
