Waaaaay over due

Okay to start off this blog post I am going to apologize for how long it is going to be.

 We have been SOO busy the past month and a half. So I am going to do a short summary of what the last part of living in D.C. was like and what our new adventure in Rexburg, Idaho is like, enjoy! 

Chad and I were both so sick of working. 

The last month in D.C consisted of us going to New York, going to the zoo, Phillip Phillips John Mayer concert and visiting the gorgeous Temple of Washington D.C. 

New York was incredible! I absolutely love the city feel! Makes me want to live there someday, but Chad thinks I'm crazy. While driving in New York City (yes we drove in the city) we saw some pretty interesting people, along with the craziest drivers. I now know why people ride bikes. I have also been numbed to the sound of car horns, it was just a constant noise. But I am so glad we made the trip! 

Look who we found!! I love this brother of mine

These boys rock!

Might as well get one of us as well

He's a cutie

Then we went to the empire state building

82 floors later...

We left Saturday morning, and we tried to hurry home because we had the Phillip Phillips, John Mayer concert that night. Holy cow that was such a good concert. Well except for the random girls trying to party dance to John Mayer music. That was interesting. Anywho, we had fun, and had a good last weekend in D.C.

We thought we should take a cuter picture

We are procrastinators. We had meant to go to the temple many different times during the summer but with his work hours and the traffic in D.C. it was about impossible. We finally had the opportunity to go. It is such a gorgeous place. Just being on the grounds I felt so peaceful.

Then we headed to the Zoo. We saw and met a lot of interesting people. We didn't see many animals though. Thats okay though, we were together with friends being weird.

The next day (Tuesday) Chad thought he better go knock a few more doors to make some money. That night the office called us and told us we had to be out of our apartment by morning. 

"WHAT?!" that was what went through my head.

 I thought it was going to be impossible to pack everything up and move to a new apartment by morning. But we did it.

 We also decided that we were going to leave a day earlier because there was no point to unpack everything to just pack it back up. So that Thursday we left at 6:00 a.m. 

We arrived home Friday at about 11:30 p.m. 3200 miles in 2 days. I never wanted to be in a car again. But Chad made it fun, and calmed me down when I got road rage and made wrong turns to add another hour onto our drive. He is the greatest (:

Here is a picture of the sunset on our drive. 

We made it back just in time to attend one of my very best friends' wedding!

 Jamie Jensen, now Roberts, looked absolutely gorgeous! I am so happy for her! I am also so happy I got to see some of my friends! 

We stayed in Utah for about a week until we started another journey up to Rexburg, Idaho. This is the door of our new apartment. 

I would post pictures of the inside of our apartment but its kind of a mess, and not quite put together yet.

These right here are the gems Mattie and I found at D.I.

Side note: Mattie and Chris live RIGHT next door to us. Like if we were to both open our doors we could just stare at each other. It is so fantastic because we all get along so well and its like we are on a big fun double date everyday! 

This is a picture in the middle of our workout

Mattie and Kelly make me get up everyday to workout. 

Rexburg is home away from home.

  I love love love it here and am so grateful I have the amazing friends and especially my amazing husband that puts up with me and all of my moods.

 I love life right now. 

I just don't think it could get any better.
