Home Sweet Home

I can't believe it has already been two weeks since I've moved down to Utah. Time sure does fly when you're having fun! Or something like that. Actually, things have really been going well with my internship and life down in Farmington. I've loved being able to live with family and not by myself somewhere. It has helped a lot.

The last two weekends have been absolutely amazing. I have had a hard time not seeing my family and loved ones every day like I normally do. But last weekend Tyson came down and we were able to spend the entire weekend together. The original plan was for him to come on Saturday, but he decided to leave for Utah right after work on Friday. He surprised me with a dozen multi-colored roses, they were so pretty. We were able to visit his brother, sister-in-law, and neice in Magna while he was here. We also met up with one of his friends from his BYU-Idaho days. She was a lot of fun and super nice. It was such a great weekend! I didn't want him to leave though, it just went too fast.

I spent this last weekend in Idaho and it was a picture perfect weekend. My plan was to leave from work on Thursday night (I don't work Fridays, it's nice) and get to Idaho Falls around 8:30 or 9. Atleast that's what I told everyone I was doing. Instead, I left work at 4:00 (I had to get to Rexburg anyway) and drove to Idaho Falls to surprise Tyson after he got home from work. The plan worked out great, I even surprised Amber. I spent that evening in Rexburg getting some things done and seeing old friends. I miss them all!

On Friday I picked Tyson up for lunch and we headed to Carino's. It was fun being able to see work friends again. We even ran into some regulars that I know just from serving them. Kathy was our server so that made lunch that much better. I love Kathy! She's one of my best pals. It was fun. That night we spent the evening with Tyson's family having pizza and playing games. We played a game called "Laugh Your Butt Off" and it was hilarious. Clark and Tyson were making me laugh so hard, I couldn't breathe at times. It was great.

On Saturday Tyson and I spent the day together relaxing and watching a movie. It was nice to be able to just sit there. That night we had a game night at my parents' house. Amber, Che', Aaron, and Britney also came over so it ended up being a lot of fun. I love my family. I went to Tyson's ward on Sunday to hear him speak. He did an awesome job.

I ended up leaving at about 7:00 last night to head back to Farmington and it was hard to go. I hate leaving my family like that. I just have to keep reminding myself why I'm here, and it makes things easier. Take one day at a time. I love my family, and I'm so glad I was able to spend the weekend with them and with Tyson. It was a lot of fun. And it was so nice being back in my comfort zone around everything I know and love. I already can't wait to come back to visit!
