Playing catch up

Here we are living in UT.  That is one phrase I never thought I would say, but there it is, and I’m really enjoying it so far.  Stephen is doing an amazing job at keeping everyone updated on our experiences here, so I’m going to leave that to him for now.  I love that he is blogging, and he is such a great example to me that I thought I better fill in some of the wonderful things I missed in blog world.

While I am sure this is where we are supposed to be, we loved our short time in SoCal.  In just 2 1/2 years we fell in love with our ward, the climate, the ocean, our friends, and all that there is to do in vacation land.  There was almost so much that you had to decide what not to do, instead of what to do.  Needless to say, we stayed busy.

Here are some pics of our last trip to the beach as local.

Before we left this wonderful place, our amazing friends threw us a going away party for anyone from the ward.  There were so many people who came and I felt incredibly loved.  I only got a few snaps, and unfortunately I didn’t get everyone in them.  I got too busy talking.  Surprised?!  I didn’t think so.  Thank you so much to the Shorr family, and all the beautiful members of the Tijeras Canyon Ward.  We love you all!

    Ever have those days where you accidentally let your head hit the pillow and immediately know that there is no way it’s coming back off?  Last night was one of those.  I planned on writing this all down yesterday, but yep, the pillow attacked and I was a goner for the night.

    12 years ago yesterday I saw the world upside down.  The lights from Phoenix were so bright that they drown out all the stars in the sky.  As my plane flew into Sky Harbor Airport it literally looked like the world had been turned upside down.  It seemed like a nice metaphor for me coming…

    Just in case you were wondering why I haven’t been posting alot lately I thought I would briefly throw up here what I have been doing.  If my brain hadn’t turned to mush I might have thought of a more creative way to do this.  Singing comes to mind, but you don’t want to hear…
