Summer Summary

Everyone has been getting on me for not posting lately but I seriously haven't uploaded pictures and had a chance to blog in forever! We have literally been on vacation for the past 2 months it feels like & now I have TOO many pictures I want to post! Here is the run down of our Summer: We went to Newport with the Freemans 1 week, 1/2 a week home(Arizona), 1/2 a week back to Newport for a Nutrition Conference(Ya, I am certified in Adult Weight Management!), 2+ weeks to AZ, then 1 week in Oceanside with Udalls...phew! So fun but I am very happy to see my own bed, fridge, bathroom, living area and just not having to live out of a suitcase! But I owe a BIG thanks to all my family/friends for the wonderful time spent with them and fun vacation sites. Me & Craig were just talking about how blessed we feel to have the family that we do:)

Now we have just been enjoyed the last little bit of our summer at home together and it has been so much fun. I love just being with Craig, I know I won't have this again for a long time which makes me sad but I have really enjoyed just spending time with him & Ruthie. He is always such a big help to me & is always so sweet about it. He really is just plain wonderful and wonderful for me. I feel SO blessed to be married to him & Ruthie is so lucky to have him as a Dad because he loves being with her and always makes her laugh!

On a sad note, we have had some really amazing friends move away which makes me feel teary just thinking about it. I am going to miss my Brittany Anderson & Kasee Thomas playdates! I feel so blessed to have them around last year - they are amazing ladies. On a happy note, it has been fun because Craig's best friend from highschool & his wife (Kreig & Brittany Lewis) are going to the same school as Craig! They live .2 seconds away from us in our apt complex which makes it fun & easy to get together to play. Of course it changes now as Craig & Kreig start podiatry school & Brittany starts PA School - They are like the power med school couple, what smarties! There have also been several other fun families that have moved in which I'm excited about & I know our ward is too! And we can't forget about the other fun people in our ward that have stayed here - thank goodness for them!

So tomorrow starts a new school year - Ding, ding, ding - ROUND 2! Let the adventures begin! It is back to being a "Med Wife Widow" as I call it or "Miss Independent" in the words of Kelly Clarkson - ha. I can do it though & so can Craig, I know he has a tough year ahead of him - as long as we depend on the Lord & put him first, everything else will be ok! And I also just have to think, "hey, we made it last year with having a baby, so we can do anything:)
