We SURVIVED saying goodbye to all of our sweet friends who were graduting and moving on! It is such a bitter sweet moment. We hate to loose them, but love thier accomplishment.
We also SURVIVED saying see ya laters to our friends who will be waiting for us when we get back! We are happy that we will have some constants in our life at least for another year!
We SURVIVED packing and cleaning our house in preparation for our 8 week vacation (Josh can we call it a vacation?) We GIGGLED after we loaded the girls in the car and drove from our apartment to Joshs school (about a mile away) to grab some papers on the way out. The girls, I kid you not, asked if we were in UTAH! YES, we packed and cleaned for 2 days, loaded everything on top of our car and into the back, got movies and games and treats all for a 1 min car ride! YOU WISH!
We SURVIVED driving 21 hours straight (stopping only to get gas and go potty twice)!
We SURVIVED thenext day getting only 20 miles in 3 hours due to Brielles sick little tummy, and having to change out a wiper blade.
We SURVIVED 2 blowout from Rigs, but at least it wasn't a tire!
Needless to say we SURVIVED a 40 hour car ride with 3 kids!
Today was Josh's first day on his internship and we SURVIVED saying our goodbye for the week. The plan is for him to leave Monday morning for Orem and come back Friday night. We can already tell that in order to SURVIVE we will need a Wednesday visit.
Josh SURVIVED his first day reporting that the worst part of the day was the 6 inches of SNOW! We are sure missing our Virginia weather of 85-90 degrees.
I am SURVIVING my first of many lonely night! The days always seem about the same, but it is the night time when the true ache sets in.
The good thing is we know that this is just for a short time and like alway time will pass and like always WE WILL SURVIVE!

Come visit me in Springville. Ellie always loves visitors!
You can stand tall on that accomplishment!
If you'd ever like to come visit for a little more daddy time we'd love to have visitors :) overnighters are the best with cousins you should know, but you don't.
Really, come any time, we're pretty little people proof, and we'd love to have you for as long as you'd like to be here!
