Happy Memorial Day

Typically by the time Memorial Day comes around I am just so grateful for a day off of work and a chance to enjoy the warm weather! This Memorial Day though I thought a lot about Marcus's brother, Matt, and his wife Marilee and their cute family. Matt is currently deployed in Afghanistan and is serving as a dentist in the Army. I am thankful for his service and all of the others serving to make it so that I can continue living the life that I do.

Marilee is amazing and is in Germany with her three cute girls and one little boy on the way. Thank you to both of you for the sacrifice that you are making for our country!















We love and miss you guys!

It's Sold...

To US!

Our townhouse is framed and will be ready for us to move in the middle of July. It is in South Jordan just west off 106th South and right behind Mulligans golf course. (I may never see Marcus again now that he thinks he will be golfing daily...) The builder is Brad Reynolds. We are so excited to be out of our basement and into a new place!

Waiting...

So Marcus and I put an offer on a townhouse on Thursday and now we are just waiting...the builder countered on Friday and we put another counter-offer in on Saturday. Now we just have to wait and see! Everyone keep your fingers crossed!
*Ours* {hopefully} is still being built, but this is {kind of} what it will look like when all finished.

Happy Here

It seems like it can be so easy to always sit and dream and think, if only I had this, or when I have that, when this happens, and on and on...

But today, I am thankful to be just where I am.

St. George

Marcus and I headed down to St. George Friday afternoon to spend the weekend. It was so nice to get away from the freezing cold and enjoy the beautiful weather. We got massages, ate Breakfast at our favorite Denny's, hung out at the pool, did a little shopping, and just relaxed. We met the Webbs down there and celebrated Laura's 18th birthday all day Saturday, finishing up with a delicious dinner at Outback.

Saturday night we went to hike the short and scary hike through the crack in the wall. Sadly, when Marcus hit the most narrow point he was realized he was stuck. He was determined he could fit through, after all, it has only been a year since we last did this. He wiggled around, sucked in, and tried and tried but never could get passed that one narrow spot. He had to give up and meet us at the top.

We had a great time and are sad to be home in the snow now! Where did the spring weather go?

SPRING...




LOVE it!
