Lately...

Moving to Rexburg and adjusting was A LOT easier than when we made the switch to Hill Spring.  The only issue with Hill Spring is that you seemed so secluded from everything, and when moving from a big city like Calgary, that took some getting used to.  However, we fell in love with Hill Spring! We miss our friends a lot, and being close to our family even more! Jeff has an Aunt out here Idaho, she lives about half an hour away, but we haven't gotten a chance to see her yet, but hopefully soon!!!


Ahhh... what can we say about our new Town of Rexburg....
It is a lot larger than our last "village" was...
We have a larger option of friends! (Which I love!)
There isn't an abundance of spiders in the house we live in. (Finally!)
There are stores close by, which can be a bad thing for sure....but I love that I can think "ooo I would love some strawberries!" and not have to plan a grocery trip in advance to go and get some, I just go...and 5 minutes later I've got them! Its awesome!
We are settling in quite nicely, and I am really starting to like it here. We have met new people, made new friends, and enjoyed the time so far.  Jeff is enjoying school (for the most part)! Says that "it is much better than Mount Royal" which I am happy to hear! Nixon also likes it here...he talk about it all the time....we think.... well he is happy pretty much anywhere, as long as he can sleep when he needs to!


In the past couple of weeks we had a chance to go to Utah to see some family.  We stayed with my brother Blake and his wife Brita and their daughter Sadie.  I love that we live so close because I would love to get closer with my family.  We had a blast staying there! They live right near the Salt Lake Temple, so we got to go through a session with them while we were there. I think it is really neat to go through the temple with family and friends.  We know that we have things in common, but to be able to do something so important as temple work together is just so neat!  We saw Brock while we were in Utah, and me his girlfriend...her name is Kayla.... it is kind of weird that we have the same name...in fact we had a lot of things in common but we wont get into that now.
Also, the lots of other people we got to see were..... Teralee and Jaime (which I was SO stoked on!), very pregnant Fallon (due any day now), Brice, and Claire (so cute!), Beth and Brennan and their two cute little kids, Mckay and Evelyn. Hilary in her gorgeous wedding dress and her husband Dane at their wedding reception.  So it was a lot of people in a short trip.  Next time we will go and see some more family like my Aunt, some more cousins and my Grandparents.


Anyways, I will post some videos ASAP! So keep checking in, I am getting better at blogging I promise!
