We are now residing in Utah! Matt got the job at IM-Flash in Lehi, Utah, and has been working there now for two weeks. We are also going to be moving into our condo sometime in the next week or so. Our household items are on a truck, heading to UT from VA, and are guaranteed a delivery date before November 9th. Our new address is: ask me if you'd like it. Here is an outside shot of our new place that we are renting for a time.
Matt and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary by going to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple, which is just a 5 minute drive from our new residence! We are so excited to have a temple so close! In almost 16 years, we haven't lived less than 2 hours away from a temple. We will attend often! We must not take it for granted how easy it is to go do temple work.
The cousins hanging out on Grandma's bed. Cameron, Nathan, and Sarah get along perfectly. Sarah has been waiting for the time when she could be closer to her cousins. Our biggest advantage and blessing in living in UT, is that Sarah will get to see her cousins more often. She may even get a trip down to Las Vegas, NV, in the near future, to go visit her cousins on Matt's side. She has yet to meet the three cousins there. We only live an 8 hour drive from Matt's sister and family. We are close, relatively speaking! No pun intended!
Playing in the Autumn Leaves!
Sarah and I met up with an old friend who lives closer to Salt Lake City. She and I knew each other and become close friends while in Junior High. We have kept in touch since our graduation from High School. I saw her again, after 15 years of not living anywhere near her, last year. We made a trip out to Utah for my nephew's baptism, so made time to see each other and have our kids meet. Kim Swensen has a son, named Cody, who is now 6 years old. We met up a couple of weeks ago at an amazing old park (thank you for introducing us to Discovery Park, Lindsay!), chatted, ate a picnic lunch, and watched the kids play for 2 hours while we chatted some more. It was a great outing for the moms and for the kids, who get along great!
