Fam, Flash Floods & Fun

Well, well, well - it has been almost a year since we started this blog and this is the first time i've been on since. Sad! :) We have had a busy year.

I graduated from BYU in April and Brandon is selling APX Alarms for the summer. He is doing great, but they weren't kidding when they said it was hard work. Geezze.

We are currently enjoying good ole Des Moines, IA of all places. We actually love it here! We started in Davenport, but after we were stuck in a tornado (no joke) we were transferred. We still get a good flash flood every now and then, but anything is better than the scare we were put through!!

We've made several trips to Chicago (love that) and Nauvoo --- a real treat.

Both of my brothers and their lovely wives are enjoying Iowa this summer as well. Along with them comes a slew of babies!! Gabe (2 years), Bailey (3 months), Wesley (1 month) and new baby Bentley (1 week). It is way too much fun. There is rarely a dull moment. It has been such an adventure so far!

Although we are enjoying the luxury of beautiful apartments, family, a new scene and big cities - we do miss our friends so much. We will be returning to the wonderful P-town in the fall where Brandon will finish up at BYU and I will start at the University of Utah! Back to the grind. Tee, hee. ;) We can't wait to see everyone.

Sounds like a summer for the books! Nothing is better then living around family...with kids! Must have been fun to play with babies all summer, but back to reality, right? Emily and LJ, plus families, are moving to Orem next month! So you should check in and meet his prego wife. We will be in Salt Lake for Nancy's wedding maybe in December or February, so we should hook up and you can meet our newest monkey! Shelly Mac will be very excited you updated!
