Quick update!

Wow can you believe how horrible I am at keeping up on this blog?! 

So much has been going on and we have been so busy. Since the days are longer in the summer, that means Chad is knocking doors later. I can't wait until we can eat dinner at a normal time. Summer sales has definitely been something we can learn from, and although Chad has been doing pretty well he doesn't want to pursue this career of being a door to door salesman. But hey it was something he had to figure out for himself, and some people can really make a living out of this, but its just not for us. 

Working in the office has been great, I've met a lot of really nice people, and a lot of not nice people. I'm glad I have a job that can keep me busy and allows me to contribute to our income. But not seeing each other and these loooong days are hard.

So a couple weeks ago Chad and I were both really stressed and it was his idea to take a day off and go to Six Flags just us. It was so dang fun! 

There were no lines and we went on the Superman rollercoaster about 7 times.

 Best. Ride. Ever.

 Then it started raining and there were warnings of flash floods so we had to go home. 

Six Flags adventure= Success!!

Changing directions

My mom, step dad and niece Kaylee, came out to visit Chad and I over the 4th of July weekend. Oh my gosh it was so much fun and definitely cured my home sickness. 

We had a blast watching the fireworks in D.C. 

We had glow sticks for the fireworks, thanks to my sister Kim (:

Touring is what we do best.

I hadn't gotten a picture with Dale that whole day and he made me get out of the car so we could take one. Notice how I am not wearing shoes. Love that guy!

Okay sorry for the picture overload!

Next..

 My mom took me to Costco while she was here.

 Bad decision. 

I spent so much money. That store just sucks you in. 

But on a good note, we have enough food to last the rest of the summer.

Saturday night Chad and I took Kaylee to a company dinner we had with Alterra. Man she was just a little flirt. She is basically fluent in Spanish and all the return missionaries were just in awe over that. She is just a natural I guess. So glad I got to spend time with her and buy twinner shirts!

Don't mind the instagram border.

We took so many pictures!

Okay I know I am switching topics again but I just have so much to squeeze into this little post. 

Yesterday marks the one year of knowing Chad. Man that flew by. I would have never thought I would be married at 19, let alone to the return missionary my Grandma set me up with. But I am so glad I went on that date with him. Staying up til the wee hours of the morning talking and laughing. He is the best thing that has happened to me, and I can definitely say he is my best friend. If it weren't for Chad I don't know how I would be able to deal with a lot of things going on in my life. He puts up with my moods and kisses me when I am sad. I know Heavenly Father put him in my life for a reason and I don't think I can thank Him enough for all of the ways Chad blesses my life.
