home sweet home

i spent all last week in the wonderful state of arizona... withOUT will.

it was the longest we've ever been apart, and the only time 
we have since we got engaged.

i thought it would be a lot harder than it was (don't take that the wrong way) but i kept busy catching up with my friends, lots of swimming, was in a wedding, and helped my mom with my sister in law's baby shower. i had sooo much fun!

towards the end of the week, i was ready to go home. 

HOME. that's right.. utah feels like home now. that's a big step for me.

i love everything and everyone that moving to utah 
has brought into my life. 

i love the 4 seasons here, even the snowy winter. 

i love our cute little apartment and the way we've decorated it. 

i love that we have choices in which temple we are going to do a session in, so many close to us! 

i love my in-laws and will's extended family that are now mine too. 

i love his best friends and the super cute girls they're all married to or marrying next month (will is a "best man" in 3 weddings in one week!). 

i love the people i work with that take the time to teach me tips and tricks to make me a better teacher and make me laugh 
and smile so much. 

i love how successful will has made his business up here. 

and i could go on and on.. 

but basically, mesa will always hold a special place in my heart but salt lake will be the perfect place to raise our family. 

i'm excited to see what the future holds here!
