That's right, we are back in the land of Washington state! For good this time. I took great pictures of our travel here, but I must have packed the cord that connects my camera to the computer, so once again, you have to wait on the pictures. Funny, it's almost been a year since I actually posted pictures. Guess the rest of the world is a bit more "with it" than I am. Oh well.
We moved back to Rexburg for Tyler's final semester. I went back to work at Beehive FCU as a temp teller, which was fun to see old friends and make new ones. We made a few trips to Utah and Washington over the next few months for friend weddings and other events.
Tyler graduated the end of July, and we decided that we were supposed to be in Washington. So we are back. We are still job hunting, so if you hear of anything great that opens up in the accounting/finance field, please be a bug in our ear. The adjustment has been somewhat okay for William. He loves to be around his cousins and all of Tyler's family, which is great, but he has a hard time going to sleep at night. He has become very attached to me, so every time I leave the room, he gets really upset. I'm blaming the new environment and all of our lifestyle changes, but who knows what the real reason may be. He has even remembered most everyone and is getting really efficient with names. I love the new communication skills.
It is weird to change from "school mode" to "real life mode". We have been in "school mode" for the past 5 years, so it is quite an adjustment to make. I'm excited for this new adventure, but I must admit that I miss my family and friends from Utah and Idaho. Distance makes it hard to travel whenever I want, but it will make the trips we do make that much more special. For now, we are busy becoming fishes in the pool and on the boat in the Columbia river, playing all sorts of outdoor games in the great backyard and visiting several different parks. Did I mention pretty much every store you can think of is within a 10 minute drive? Oh, and one of my absolute favorite restaurants, Texas Roadhouse, is being built here!!!! Yaya! So, the situation isn't really that bad. I'm just not one to love being patient for all the kinks of unknowns to workout. What's important is taken care of, but now we wait until everything else falls into place. Miss you if you're somewhere else, glad to see you again if you are here!
