Where We Are

As it turns out, an international move can be a bit exhausting. And catching up with family that you haven't seen for 3 years can be time consuming (in the best way possible!).

Alright, we flew to Atlanta and then on to San Antonio where we spent a few days with Ray's sister and her family. We had a blast with them tubing the local river, eating some amazing BBQ and meeting our nephews who were born while we were gone. It was so much fun!!! We played non stop and took pretty much no photos, but it was a party. 

Then we moved on to Ray's other sister and her family up near Dallas. Highlights included: lots of nephews and a niece to play with, Mexican food, and a Blue Bell Ice Cream buffet! It was so great having time to spend with family without worrying about anything else for a while. 

From Texas we flew to Utah! We spent a few days with my grandparents which was a nice quiet reprieve. Then it was on to a huge, impromptu family get together in St. George. On a whim we ended up there with Ray's brother's family for a bike race. Family from CA met us there, and we all celebrated Easter at Ray's uncle's with more cousins! It was a great time. And we again got to meet another nephew who had been born while we were gone. 

When we got back to Utah county, we stayed with Ray's family and played with our nephews and niece non stop and then one more new nephew! 

Yes, lots of family. It was great.

So then! Ray and I decided to head to San Diego where Ray is now doing summer sales again. I was going to stay behind in Utah and finish out the school year at an elementary school I had been offered a job at. However, we went to the temple together and both of us felt that I needed to be in San Diego with Ray as quickly as possible. I ended up staying in Utah 5 days beyond when Ray left with his brother. I then drove our car down to San Diego to meet up and settle down in our new place.

Since then Ray has been selling great, and I have spending time with my SIL and my nephew, making new friends, and enjoying some fun sight seeing of San Diego. 

Our plans now are to finish up the summer strong, and then head back to Utah in August. But first, there is a family reunion, endless beach trips and BBQ's, and lots of fun to be had in San Diego!
