Recently I had the opportunity to fly back to Utah, sadly it wasn't the happiest reason why.
My "Gram" passed away.
It had been a really long 2 year battle of cancer and she put up one heck of a fight.
Even up to her very last days she still had her sense of humor and made us laugh. She always new how to make the best out of every situation. She also reminded us this wasn't a goobye,
it was just a "see you later."
I am so lucky to have had a "Gram" like her because of her determined, stubborn, and positive attitude. Also she had one of the strongest testimonies, which we all looked up to.
It was a really hard goodbye. But luckily I have the most amazing family.
(My siblings)
(My Beautiful sisters and neice)
(My good looking brother should be in a boy band)
We helped each other get through that weekend, and kept making jokes about what Gram would have said about the funeral. I love my family and I am so grateful that I got to see them! It has been tough being so far away. I also got the chance to go visit Chad's wonder family too.
They are such a hoot, and unfortunately Chad couldn't be there with me, because flights back to Utah are pricey and well we are newly weds. It was weird not sleeping next to him for 5 whole days. But it was the best reunion at the airport when he picked me up!
He is the cutest (:
Okay new subject. Chad and I are almost done with the Summer out here! We have about 5 more weeks. It going to be a sad goodbye but I am excited to be closer to family. I absolutely love everyone I work with. They are so much fun! Last week was Blake Moses birthday,
so naturally we had to surprise him with pizza and cake.
He absolutely loved it. He had a big cheesy grin on his face.
(the birthday hat makes me look bald)
Lets see what else has been keeping us busy.
Oh, the other night one of the other wives, Katriel, and I had a spontaneous idea to make desserts for our husbands before they came home from work. And you would think we would have learned the first time when we followed a pinterest recipe. But we did it anyways. We went to the store and when we were hauling all the groceries up to my apartment I ran into the mirror of my car
and smashed one of the eggs in the carton :( .
(poor egg didn't have a chance)
The desserts came out okay, they weren't amazing but luckily the boys will eat them anyways.
We have some good husbands!
Saturday night we hung out with a bunch of the sales reps.
While we were watching a movie their dog wanted to be keeping a real close watch on us.
Chad and I have been sucked into netflix this summer. We have made it through 2 tv shows.
New Girl and Modern Family. We just recently started a new one,
Breaking bad. HOLY COW! It is the worst/best show ever.
On Sunday it consumed us from right when we got home from church til about 1 in the morning.
It's SO good! Although it is about drug lords and cooking meth, and probably isn't the greatest wholesome show but its packed full of action and keeps us guessing.
The Summer is winding down and we will be home before we know it. I have been so grateful for the opportunities we have had out here, and so so so grateful for the success Chad has had out here. These probably are the ideal jobs but they work. I am so grateful for Chad's goofy personality to get me through those long days, and thankful he puts up with my grumpy moods when I'm tired.
I am so in love and thankful for my husband and family! I have a really good life and I would never have pictured it being this great! Heavenly Father has definitely spoiled me!
