Hello my wonderful friends and family!
So much has happened since I last wrote!
I don't even know where to begin. I just feel like I need to keep somewhat of a journal for our family.
Idaho has been a dream! We loved working for Redfish Lake Lodge (&co.).
We loved living on the lake, making great friends, having adventure right at the tip of our fingers.
We hiked a little, made our tiny little box of an apartment into a home, loved a lot, and laughed. I have very fond memories of our car-camping, catching minos under the docks, taking the pontoons for a spin around the lake, and growing more into our marriage.
We had almost all of our family join us up at Redfish for a couple of camping days.
I took a promotion and am currently managing Triangle C Cabins, and Trevor has been helping with maintenance for all of the in-town properties. We've lived in the cutest log cabin-studio.(Sadly, we will be moving in a few days to a camper trailer, but it'll still be a great summer.), and we've gotten accustomed to the cold and snow.
In October we adopted Aero, our stubborn, personality-filled, possessive and energetic Husky/Austrailian Shepherd. She has been such a light for our little family, and I've learned that I have a lot of patience to grow before we start having children. She's a fantastic road-tripper, and sometimes I swear she knows exactly what I am saying. She's been a very fun addition to the family.
We went to Oregon for Thanksgiving and it was a BLAST. We stayed with Kylee and she treated us like royalty. And almost all of my family were there.
Jeep broke down on our way back from Oregon (so that was fun), but we returned just to turn around again.
Two weeks later we left for a week in Utah to visit family, and then strait to Washington for the Uri Christmas. It was a short time, but fun to see the babies and spend time with my brothers and mama.
We had Christmas by ourselves here in Stanley, and it was a dreamy. A white Christmas in the woods in our log cabin in the mountains. Trevor got me a sweeeeet camera that I have loved taking pictures with. And he made us the most delicious Christmas dinner. Best cut of meat I have ever had. I salivate a little just thinking about it.
New Years Eve was coldest I have ever been in my life. -38 degrees F. We were invited to a super fun NYE part at the Clegg's and Stanley puts on a pretty good fireworks show. For a small town at least.
The rest of the winter carried on! We spent a lot of time in the snow and negative degree weather. For our two-weeks off we went to Moab for a few days (which was totally awesome!), and we spent several days in Glacier National Park. It was incredible. It was such a refreshing vacation. And I am low-key in love with Southern Utah. I want to go again. And. I want to move to Montana. I want to settle there on a ranch near the mountains. Not a huge Ranch. But enough property that our kids can run and play and build tree-houses and rain pigs and cattle for FFA.
A week after that trip, I went to Park City with SQUAD. It. Was. Great. I missed them so much. We laughed so much. We cried some. And we laughed some more. I absolutely loved spending that time with them.
Summer is about to be in full-swing and I am grateful for the way things will be changing. I'm ready for the warmth. And for the friends.
OH. Jaden will be working up here this summer too, so I am excited for that.
AND. I am training for a marathon that I will be running spring 2023. I am thrilled for that. I've got big goals, and big dreams for my physical fitness. I've got to get myself ready to have children. My health deserves it. I'm excited for the future.
