So its been a very long time since my last blog post...all i can say is life has been so busy. Lets see where to start.
I guess our major news is we have officially moved. Last year i made a blog post about moving in August. Then everything fell apart and we were unable to make the move. This year everything came together and we were able to find a place to live, Eric was able to sign up for classes, and i have a few leads on jobs. I was very sad to leave my job as SLOC where i had made many friends and had great co-workers. I had found a job that i didn't hate, and actually looked forward to going to. I am trying to stay in the medical field as we make our transition up here. My other big news is that i was able to start school. I started about 2 weeks ago and i am so excited to be continuing my education. I received a tuition wavier and FASFA so it wasn't an added expense for me and Eric. It will be nice to be doing homework as Eric is doing homework.
We spent the last couple of month preparing for the move as well as our trip to Disney World. We went with Eric's foster Family. It was a group of 10 people. We had a great time. I always feel like a little kid when going to Disney. The family was focused on trying to do as much as possible. I wanted to look in shops...and lets me honest meet the characters. I don't think i will every be to old for Disney. Eric said he prefers 6 flags because of the intense ride. We had a great time with the family, and it was a great vacation right before life changed for us. Eric and I were unable to join the family at universal studios, but we rented a car and drove out to Cocoa beach. (i later found out that is the beach for I dream of Jennie, now i wish i would have gotten something from there! other than sand) It was so nice to be in the water without a wet suit this time, it was so warm! Eric decided it would be a good time to wash my hair with sand and use the sand as sunscreen (it didn't work) and he had to take me further out to wash the sand out of my hair. I love thinking back on that day and how much in love i am with Eric.
We were able to rent a jet ski's twice this summer. The first time was very spare of the moment and we went to Utah lake with Grace, Marie, Chris, and Ethan. We also had a tube, it was so much fun. Our jet ski had a few problems...like dying! But it made for fun, Grace Eric, and myself tipped twice! i had a nasty bruise on my leg, and Utah lake now owns Graces' sunglasses. But we had a great time! The other time we rented from someone else and Eric and i took 2 jet ski's up to Bear Lake where we camped with the family! We had a lot of fun and i even got to drive! i enjoyed them but was super sore the next couple of days!
We both got to run the Dirty Dash, It was my first time (not Eric's) we had some friends that couldn't use their tickets so they gave them to us (thanks again!) it was a fun experience but i'm not sure i will do it again! I never backed down from an obstacle. and with Eric's help we were able to do all of them! I was also able to Run *walk* the Hit and Run 5K (again we had a friend unable to do it ...THANKS AGAIN) It was a group of 3 women. We enjoyed our time and Eric was there as our professional photographer. We went camping with Morgan, Derrick, Tyce, and Natasha. It was so cute to see Tyce in his element. He was always covered in DIRT! His favorite activity was collecting rock to throw into the river. Then seeing him sit in his chair and roast starburts was so cute! I was grateful Morgan let us join her camping!
I am constantly grateful for Eric's constant support in my crazy ideas! The latest of which has turned into a blessing in disguise. When discussing moving up to Idaho i told Eric i wanted to find a job that would pay enough so that he didn't have to work and school would be his priority. But the more i searched the more i couldn't find a high enough job. Well i had a super close family friend who is in need of a place to stay for a few months. So instead of our second room being an office it will be a bedroom for our friend. He will help pay rent and have responsibilities to help out. This has been a major blessing because now Eric won't have to work and can really focus on school. I am so excited for him to start. (as i am writing this he is currently in salt lake with my parents working until school starts, so of course i'm excited for it to start because my husband will be with me again)
Well i think that about sums up our summer life. Here are just a few pictures to go with the post. Now that we are here in Idaho i am hoping to have time to write more so we can keep everyone up to date with our lives.
