*the begining of our summer vacation*

We had a huge trip planned for the summer.

It unfortunately revolved around a big baseball tournament in Omaha. Justin and I debated back and forth if we should still go because not only were we going to Omaha, we would hit Nauvoo, visit family in Wisconsin, see a couple MLB games, and finish it off seeing Mount Rushmore.

We decided Nick should go to support his team and we would hang back and start moving into our NEW HOUSE!

This has been a long time coming. We searched for over a year, had offers in on five different houses, lived in a couple apartments and even had a stint with the inlaws and we finally found it.

We love our house, we love our neighborhood and ward, and have never felt so welcome in a new neighborhood as we do here. We are so grateful to Heavenly Father for blessing us with faith and patience that this home actually existed and that we have such a wonderful place to plant roots and watch our family grow.

The house had been updated quite a bit but there is still much we want to do. It is ideal for us since it is totally liveable but I have always wanted to remodel a home but we don't need to do it right now.

Here is our kitchen:

and if you follow the hall from the laundry room there is Nick's room on the right and then a storage room. Directly across from the storage room is Luke's room, then a bathroom, and the utility room.

The boys are pretty excited too!


We didn't just start moving in, we did have some other fun too. Nick helped us over the weekend and then we dropped him off at his coach's house on Tuesday to head to Omaha.

While he was gone, we went swimming, ate at the Sizzler and saw the Avengers, made smores (twice) and visited the downtown library and the City Creek Center.

I love this summer already.
