{3 places, 45 days}

Whew...the title just wears me out thinking about

our busy, crazy summer. In a span of a 45 days, or

to make it sound better a Month and a half we lived

in 3 different places. So in a nutshell here is how

our month and a half went....

 Place #1.

On July 18th we moved from place #1 were we had been

living for the past year. We loved our stay in Wyoming.

We then temporarily moved to Grandma and Grandpa McFaddens house

for 2 weeks while Tyler studied his guts out for his 2nd

set of boards which he had scheduled to take in St.George

on Aug.1st.

 During the 2 weeks we were there,

Addie made her first debut in the New Harmony

parade on July 24th, Pioneer Day. Earlier

that day we got to go watch a parade in Ivins, UT

with Grandma and Grandpa Hansen and enjoy some

carnival fun after.

 Addie and Trey also swam their hearts

out while staying at Grandma and Grandpa

McFadden's house with 24/7 pool access!

1 day after Tyler took his test we moved

to place #2.

 I introduce to you...

Place #2.

A small quaint apartment that suited us just

fine for the month we would be there. It was

located in Cedar City, UT. Tyler signed up

for a Pediatric rotation in Cedar City and wanted

the family to join him for the month. So we packed

up the bare necessities to get us by for a month and

headed up to cedar city. Lucky for us we found a

furnished apartment so we didn't need to haul

furniture.

 While we were there we found great

joy in headed up Cedar Canyon

and taking the kids to the Kids Pond

to do some fishing. It was beautiful up there

and not to mention like 10-15 degrees

cooler! The kids would have fun

casting and reeling in for the first 15 minutes

then get bored and go play in a pile of sand

they found. While they were happily

occupied with the sand Tyler and I got

do some fishing of our own! And guess

who got the first and only fish???

 Me!!!!

I guess there is a first time

for everything, right?!! I have to say I was very excited

when i reeled this baby in and saw that it was

a pretty good size. So we kept him and cooked

him up for dinner the next night! Yum!

We also enjoyed going on hikes, playing at the

parks, and making new friends while we

were there. After Tylers rotation was done we moved

to place #3.

Place #3. St. George, UT.

A place we can finally call HOME.

A place we can finally settle into for good

("for good" meaning, a year)

And fortunately for me this place really is HOME.

I grew up here and am very grateful for the

opportunity to live here and take care of the

place while my parents are gone. We are finally feeling

settled and into a more normal routine of things.

And it feels so good to not be living

out of suitcases anymore!!! Yay!!!
