Packing the U-Haul....Thanks mom and dad!!!!

What a mess~ Our house in St. G

Helping mom pack...It was only the beginning!

Moving is never fun!!! But we got through it. Justin was at work and couldn't help so I packed a little of our house each day for about 3 weeks before the acutal move. My parents and sister(Mel) were lifesavers and came down to St. George and helped me pack up the moving truck. Even better was that my dad drove the U-haul back to Evanston (I was so nervous that I would have to do it). After two days of packing the truck we headed home.

Once in E-town we unpacked all of our stuff into a huge storage shed. I was sad to leave so much behind but excited for our next adventure (the move to Georgia). Once all the unpacking was done we enjoyed our 2 weeks of being in E-town and around family. We went to star valley, and enjoyed the family reunion (as you have seen prev.).

I plan to post our long journey to Georgia soon :)

George Family Reunion...

Our Family Reunion was a blast....

• Started with Ranell, Capri, Tori and I going to see our grandparents in Star Valley (we only stayed one night but it was great to catch up)!
• On the 7th of August we had an amazing Dutch Oven dinner in my parents backyard. My favorite Madrin Chicken, salads, melon, and best of all Carmel Apple Desert (which I couldn't even eat cause I ate too much chicken).
• The next day we got up early and headed to Bear Lake. Our Plan was to go to the Minitonka (I am sure it's spelled incorrectly) Caves and then to the lake. It was so cold, cloudy and rainy that we went home after the caves.
• I had such a great time despite the horrible weekend weather and loved haning with my family.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Busy Busy Busy

So I don't even know where to start. It has been a long and entertaining few weeks. We got all our stuff moved up to Evanston and put into storage. I drove to Star Valley to see my grandparents, went to Lyman to see Justins family and had an amazing time at the George Reunion (even though we didn't make it to Bear Lake due to the sudden chill in the weather). I also have had a few days to relax and hang with Justin's mom and sister and all my fam.
Yesterday I was sick and so was Tori. Oh boy has it been rough. I have never seen that little girl cry that much in the entire 8 months that she has been with us! It has been so sad to see such a mellow happy-go-lucky girl be so miseralbe. I am now better and she seems to be improving. I just hope we both feel better by wednesday.
Wednesday is the Big Day! We are driving the long 30 hour drive to Georgia. NOT excited for that but SOOO excited to be with my hubby. It has been over two months since we have seen him. It has been very hard for us and I am sure even harder for him. We hope to be there by saturday or possilby friday. I cant wait to experience that part of the country. There is an amazing journey ahead for us and I can't wait to share it with everyone!!
I will post pics from this past month once we get settled in Georgia!

July 4th

Ok ok...I def. have not been on top of the blogging thing lately. This was from the 4th of July. I have been waiting to post pics because I just got photo shop and wanted to do some cool things. Unfortunately I just havent had the time. cccccccccccc(thanks 4 ur imput tori) Anyways..the 4th was fun but we did miss the usual fireworks display and most of all we missed Justin! I will try to do posting more often but for now its short and sweet and to the point. Mainly pics because I know thats what i mainly look at when I do my blog checks :)

Father's Day

It was Justin's first Fathers Day this year. I know he is so happy to be a daddy and wishes he could be here with his precious little Torrance. It's so sweet how he talks to her over the phone. Even though she tries to put the phone in her mouth when I give it to her I know she recognizes his voice. I usually try to send him a photo or two daily and sometimes I will send him video. This is Tori talkin to her dad...it's a little dark(due to the cell phone) but I love it!

Torrance posing for daddy on Father's Day~

I think she is just such an addorable little/chunky girl. I put her in this outfit because...1- It finally fit her, 2-I love frogs and the color green and 3-Her daddy baught it for her and I knew this pic would be special.

So Yay for Father's Day and all the daddies out there!!! Justin...Your baby loves you and so do I. We both know you would do anything for us and you definately deserve a special day ment just for YOU!!

Our 2 year anniversary and Tori's 6 month B-day~

So Beautiful. Thank you Justy..

Mommy and Tori on June 9th, 2009-Missing Daddy!


Wow...I can not believe Justin and I have been married 2 years. It doesn't feel that long at all. Justin and I have been together for a total of 8 1/1 years. It feels like a long time but it the grand scheme of things its only a second. We are so happy how our lives have been going so far and cant wait for all our new adventures as a family!!! My grandparents just had their 50th wedding anniversary on June 7th and my parents had their 26th anniversary on June 4th(I think...) I just hope we can stay as happy as they have been so far!!

Our Torrance Sue turned 6 months old on June 9th. She has been our greatest joy to date!! She is growing like a weed and at times I just want her to stop. Other times I just can't wait to see what she will do next (crawl, walk, her 1st words). I am just so great full to have the family that I do and all the love and support that we have from all those around us.

JUNE 9TH WILL ALWAYS BE A SPECIAL DAY!

BITTER SWEET

We have been so busy lately. We have had fun! We have loved being with each other and our families. WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TOO MIGHT YOU ASK...

*Mostly traveling up to Evanston to see the family. We always have a good time there but are usually ready to come home (St. George) to re-coup:)
*Enjoying the amazing St. George weather* we couldn't ask for a more perfect place to be in the springtime!!

MOST RECENTLY~
*Planning our move to Evanston...That is right, Crazy I know but it's time. We are ready to be around family as much as we will miss our life of six years here is St. George. Man are we going to miss this warm weather. I don't even know what a good winter coat feels like :)
*Getting daddy ready to go back to work:( It has been so great to have Justin home...it's been two months of pure bonding time! Justin left on 05-30-09. The job is in Georgia and is scheduled to last 18 months. It's great that he has this job opportunity be we sure will miss him!
*Due to Justin's distance is the main reason we are ready to be back in our home town. We plan to go to Georgia to visit daddy often and will most likely live there with him once we get a "good sized trailer". Most of our belongings will stay in Evanston though for when we find the perfect home and Torrance is old enough to go to school.

SAD BUT READY~
*Leaving St. George will be hard. I will miss my few friends that I have made over the years! I will miss the great job that I have. They have always worked so well with me there(especially through the pregnancy and after). I will miss the weather...I just can't say it enough! I will miss the nice movie theaters and restaurants. For those of you who know the town of Evanston there is not many restaurants or nice theaters. And most of all I will miss my MEMORIES that have been made!!!

NEW EXCITEMENTS~
*Spending endless amounts of time with my family. Looking forward to the shopping days with the girls:) Getting Torrance and Capri together. Walks at Bear River. Going to SLC or Park City for decent shopping and food. BEING A STAY AT HOME MOMMIE~ AT LEAST FOR A WHILE.


Wow life is crazy but I am ready for it as long as I have my Posy...Justin, Torrance, Gizmo and the rest of the Fam!!
