Welcome Home Mr. and Mrs. Smith

For all of those who were worried by my latest post...We're all moved in and growing to love our new little place! It finally feels like we're home!

Our lovely couch
Our Living Room
Our Entertainment
Our Bedroom
And Our Bathroom

Out with the New and In with the Old

So we moved out of our luxury home on the 1st of September and into our new... well if you can call it an apt. then I guess our new one bedroom apt. I thought not having a dishwasher or a disposal was bad but I think that Mike and I underestimated how much stuff we actually have and a one bedroom apartment that is falling apart just doesn't have very much space. A few photos to show you what I mean...

Sunny California

We spent two whole weeks in Rexburg alone and it was time for a vacation. So Mike and I decided to surprise Pat and Gregg and go to Rocklin for a week to spend some time with the Smiths. It was so much fun and great to be out of Rexburg. We spent the week lounging, boating on Folsom Lake, swimming, and we even got to stop by Eric and Sam's for dinner one night.

Then we were off to Southern California to spend some time with the Lindsey's. All the family was in town for the week and so it was perfect timing for us because I was in a wedding for my friend Cierra that weekend. After the wedding we spent a lot of time swimming, playing tennis, going to the beach, Mike beating Bryce in Wii tennis, and we went to an Angel's game.

Mike and Kyle decided to try it together!
Nice Air Babe!!
I actually did it... see no rope!
Pat did awesome and got up her first try!
Even Gregg got out there!
Loved being back at the San Diego Temple!
Beautiful Bride

We loved spending time with our families! Thanks for making our California trips so much fun! Oh and Mike and I are definitely going to work on our Tennis skills for next time!

Swim. Bike. Run... ALOT!!

Mike did another triathlon in Rexburg on the 15 of August and I am so proud of him! He swam just over half a mile, biked 14.2 miles, and ran 3.1 miles! He did so well that HE was even a little shocked. He placed 3rd in his age group and placed 17 overall out of 220 triathletes.
My Man is a Triathlete!

Try and find Mike (Hint: he's wearing a blue cap)

Mike and Shawn are the two closest to the buoy

He threw up like 4 times on the run, but finished strong

Lake Powell 2-0-0-9!

What a relief!! We finally finished another semester of school and what better way to celebrate then a family trip to Heaven on Earth?! Or in other words a trip to Lake Powell! It was just what we needed to start out our 7 week break from school and Mike and I couldn't be happier with the timing!
