Let's catch up!!


So much has happened with us in the last three weeks and I haven't had anytime to update so here is what has been going on with us . . .




The long awaited day arrived and Brandon came home on May 9th.  He was delayed three hours which was the longest three hours in the whole year and 4 days he was gone.  We were so excited to see him and Addi didn't let him out of her sight for the next 24 hours.  It was very cute!!




We headed on a road trip to see Brandon's family.  We stopped in Boise for a few days with Brandon's sister and her family and made our way to Oregon and spent five days with his folks. We went to the coast one day.  It was so fun to see them and it made it even better to have all of us there this time.




We must have been crazy because we decided to drive 13 hours down the coast and take Addi to Disneyland for one day.  We drove the following day 11 hours to come home.  SHE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!  That made all our craziness worth it.  We had a great time and she was more interested in seeing the characters than any of the rides.  She was a trooper and she even kind of like Matterhorn.  We had a great time.  She was out like a light the minute we got into the car.






We had to hurry home from our trip because we BOUGHT A HOUSE.  We closed last week and got the keys on Friday.  We are excited and stressed all in one package.  We are looking forward to having our own place, but man it is so much work.  We love it though and with a little of our touch it will feel like home soon.

Last, but certainly not least I am an aunt again.  My brother's wife had the cutest little baby girl on Saturday and they are all doing well.  Emery loves her aunt Tiff the best already.  She was trained well.

My goodness, sounds like you need a vacation. :o) I'm so glad you're all together again... thanks to Brandon (and of course you and Addi) for the sacrifices you make for our country. The house looks great - you're going to love having a place of your own. Love and best to all of you as you start a new adventure chapter in your lives. :o) You will be missed her in SLC.
