We are Alive but warning now it is a Novel

We are still alive! I figured that everyone might have started to wonder if the move killed us. We got all moved and settled for the most part. I’m hoping to get pictures this weekend since we will actually be home and hopefully have everything finally settled and all the way unpacked.
The recap since I last wrote, this is going to be way long so brace yourselves. We went Bear Lake with my family which was awesome! It was nice to get to spend the whole week with the fam. It was the first time in a few years that everyone (at least in my immediate family) has been there all at once. I love spending time with family and just relaxing and not having anything pressing to get done. The annual golf tournament happened and a good time was had by all. We got paired with my cute cousin Alysha and her boyfriend Josh (the girls were just there for support). We had so much fun! I love my cousin and I’m a big fan of her boyfriend! He is a good catch! ;) We spent the rest of the week at the beach on the wave runners or in the condos stuffing out faces. There is always so much food when we go up. It was a great time!
The first part of August Rumel had is last day of work. I was so excited because it meant that we were getting closer to moving! After he quit, we went to Lagoon for a day. It was fun! Although we both aren’t as young as we used to be. We spent the first few hours at lagoon-a-beach. We both got tubes and went down the slides that required those. I never knew that playing in the water could be so dangerous. We had gone down a couple of times and the tubes were filled up too much, so we let some of the air out of our tubes (bad mistake). They went a lot fast on some of the slides. But in one of the slides it made it so Rumel got thrown off, hit his head and finish the slide without a tube. Well the empty tube got stuck and we had to stand at there for about 20 minutes until someone came down and pushed it free. At the end of the inventory of our wounds: a bruised toe (Me), cut forehead with goose egg (Rumel), and a scraped leg (Me). We didn’t fair too well on the rides either but we had fun!
Next on the agenda for August was to finishing the packing and cleaning and then get moved. We borrowed a truck and snowmobile trailer from Rumel’s dad and the two of us got most of the boxes and small stuff moved on the 17th and 18th. Then my dad, mom, and brother Todd came down on the 20th and helped us pack up the truck with the big stuff that we couldn’t get by ourselves. We headed up to Hyde Park that night then got up on Saturday and finished the drive to Pocatello. We had my parents, Rumel’s parents, his brother Tyler, his sister Tiffany and her husband Kyle come help us. With all of us, we had the truck unloaded in only 40 minutes. Thanks again to everyone that helped!! We couldn’t have done it without you all! By the time everyone left that day the kitchen was unpacked, the living room set up, and our bedroom put together. We are still working on the last few boxes but there luckily aren’t many left.
September has kept up pace with August so far. Over Labor Day weekend, we moved my brother Todd and his family to Centerville. Then later that day we finished cleaning out our old apartment (Thanks again for all the help Mom and Dad!) and met up with my Sister Jenni and her family (they were in Utah for a baptism on the other side) for ice cream. Then, on that Monday we helped my parents freeze the corn. It was Rumel’s first experience with helping do the corn. We have it down to a pretty good science so we were done pretty quickly.
The following weekend I went back to Logan Friday night and Saturday during the day for Time Out for Women. It was awesome! My sweet Grandma offers to take any of the girls in the family that are close or want to come. Sheri Dew was the speaker on Friday night. She is amazing! It was such a wonderful time and exactly what I needed! Thanks Grandma! Then Saturday I hurried back to Idaho to meet Rumel in Blackfoot so we could go to the demolition derby at the State Fair. It was a good time!
This past weekend we headed back down to SLC. We had dinner with some friends on Friday and then Saturday we had the walk through of our old apartment. It is so great to be done with it all now! After the walk through, we had lunch with my friend Lisa. I love that girl! It was good to see her. Then we head up to Logan and went to dinner and to The Scarlet Pimpernel with my parents. I love that show! It was amazing and the costumes were fabulous!
We are hoping for a more quiet weekend coming up since we haven’t really been home much since we moved. Sorry for the novel, but now you are updated.
