What We've Been Up To

I haven't blogged in while.  I've been a little busy with these:



Brief Update:

1) Moving/Graduating
The last week in April was probably the most stressful week of my life.  I was trying to graduate, move a piano from my parents' house to Layton, pack up our apartment, say goodbye to people, finish scuba certification, and arrange everything for our move.  Honestly it sucked.  The positive side was that I got through everything and it only lasted a week.  We had a ton of support from our friends and family and ward (especially Zach and Emily, Bob Zipf, and my brother Alex)  and the move went as well as possible.  We packed up Saturday morning and drove all afternoon and night, arriving in Whitefish at about 12:30 pm.  After a long stressful week and an 11 hour drive, I was neither looking my best or having my best attitude.  I am so lucky Erik puts up with me.
2)Hawaii
It's funny that two back-to-back weeks can be so opposite.  Hawaii was so fun and so relaxing.  It was great to spend that much time together after Erik and I had been apart for a few weeks, and it was fun to hang out with Erik's brothers and parents.  As evidenced by my blogging, I didn't die scuba diving, in fact, I really liked it.  We went out to eat, laid out at the pool and the beach, and did a little exploring.  All in all, a raging success.  
3)  Our New Home
We are settling into our new home really well.  We love our new house.  I liked it a lot when we first saw it, but I love it now that we have all of our stuff here and we're pretty much moved in.  We had so much help unloading our moving van, it was awesome.  I've been really impressed with how friendly everyone here seems to be.  Our ward is great, store clerks have all been really nice, and people in cars that I don't know are always waving at me.  Erik is doing well at his new job, and I'm looking forward to starting my summer gig in a few weeks.

Alrighty!  That's all for now, folks!  Come visit us.
