summer 2011... so far..



Alright so far this summer... well, we moved to AZ. Unfortunately we aren't done moving. We are staying with Dallas' dad while we search for a house, once we do that hopefully we'll be done moving for a while! The ward we've been going to since we have been here is wonderful. We are both still working at Apply KI, we seriously have the greatest boss who is letting us work from home, Dallas, for as long as he wants and me, until I am able to find a job down here. I finally got my AZ Esthetic license so let the job search begin. I have so enjoyed getting to spend time with and getting to know Dallas family even better. It's so nice being close to family. Although, it really does make me miss my family! Fortunately there is a little airport about 10 minutes from where we live that has fairly low (sometimes extremely low) plane tickets straight to Rapid City. In fact we will be leaving next Thursday to spend some time in SD with my family, I can't wait!


 June 14th- Dallas' 25th bday! This day always
guarantees flags everywhere and  german
chocolate cake :) My wonderful mom shared
her yummy recipe and it turned out AMAZING!
 so... now I've given proof that I am still a blogging newbie and don't know how to turn this picture right side so you can actually see it haha! Anyways, it's one of Dallas' score cards from this summer. His best round of golf ever... so far ;) He's gotten lots of practice in and he loves going with his dad and brother.

We've gotten to spend lots of time with Landon! Dallas' sister's little boy. He has quite the personality. He is starting to get more used to us, but probably still likes us most while he's asleep haha!
 It's probably a good thing that my job does not require me to work outside. I think I have adjusted pretty well to the heat but I'd be lying if I said I didn't notice it!
Here's a picture of the house we thought we were in love with. We were so set on it. Our realator found it by chance while we were out looking at other houses. It seemed so perfect. Long/stressful/confusing story short... it didn't turn out the way we had hoped so we are back at square one searching for our perfect dream 1st home! Who knows, in a few weeks this house might end up being ours afterall. Which would be kinda nice since we measured for new carpet and counter tops. Not to mention I already had so many great decorating ideas :)

I can't believe it's already August! I always think I won't wait so long to blog again so I guess we'll see :) Hope every one is having a wonderful summer!!!
