My thoughts as of late

I'm going to give you a little inside peek at what's been going on in my head lately:

Things tend to go back and forth.

• I want a baby...I don't want a baby
• I want to go to grad school...No more school forever!!
• I want to lie on the couch and watch Netflix documentaries all day...I want to do crazy workout videos all day and make my body want to die
• I want to start packing right now...I never want to leave Provo
• I want birthday cake ice cream...I must have birthday cake ice cream

What's difficult is that it seems that most combinations of these thoughts don't really work together.  Well, at least in my head they don't seem to work together.  I can't have a baby, go to grad school, watch Netflix all day, work out like crazy, and both leave/never leave Provo.  Life is all about choices and right now,  it's hard to know what's best.  Long story short, prayer is a very important part of my life right now.

And thank goodness birthday cake ice cream works with every option/is always an option.

Fourth of July Weekend

The Monday after a holiday weekend is always the hardest.  It's back to reality and really, who wants to do three loads of laundry and start meal planning again?  No thanks.  

I thought I would give you a little review of our weekend in pictures.  We spent all of it with family and I wouldn't have had it any other way.  Andrew is lucky enough to have family close by in Logan and Pocatello, and seeing as how we'll be moving across the country in less than a month (I can hardly believe it either!) we decided to make the most of our close proximity.

First, our day in Logan.  Meet the most adorable children:

Mercedes (7)

Grant (4)

and

Kyra (1) (who liked getting really close to the camera)

They greeted us with a sword fight which Andrew eagerly joined while I tried my best to not get whacked in the face.

We spent the day eating delicious bbq, talking, laughing, playing with water balloons, and of course, making homemade confetti and throwing it in the air (what's a holiday without confetti??)

We ended the day back in Provo with friends and watched the Stadium of Fire fireworks which were amazing as always.

Friday morning we got up and headed up to Pocatello, ID to visit the Coray's.  It was my first time in Pocatello and I must say, it did not disappoint.  We were treated to all of Idaho's finest.  Because of bad weather, I didn't get to bring my camera to everything, but I got pictures of the most important things.

Coolest thing we did?  We went shooting!  It was my first time shooting, let alone touching a gun, and I thought it was a blast (pun intended).

Overall it was a successful weekend and I couldn't be more sad it's over.  Here's to family, friends, and of course, America. :)
