Lately

For those of you who don't know we moved to Utah a month or so ago. We moved up there for Nate's job and will probably be in Provo for a few years - then hopefully somewhere else (like Virginia or back to San Diego). The move all happened really quick. We had the idea of moving up to Provo for a number of reasons but originally ruled it out because we loved our life in San Diego! But more and more if felt like the right decision. It worked out great to move when we did because our current lease was up and we were able to move before Nate had a big conference in November. 

We had a hard time finding a place in Provo mid-semester... We found a place on craigslist that looked ok, but when we got up there it was not ok. We decided to live out of suitcases until we found a better place and sold the contract we got. Luckily we were able to do both of those things in about 2 weeks. Now we love the apartment we found and are all settled! 

We miss our San Diego friends, the weather and the beach but have been loving living in Provo. Mostly because lots of people we love live here! I've been reunited with some of my best college girlfriends. I got to throw a surprise party for my BFF Jessica earlier this month (read about it here!). It's also been great hanging out with Nate's brother and sister who are in Provo. How lucky am I that one of my best friends is also my sister-in-law? I've loved being reunited with her because of our shared love for shellac nails, spin class, and spontaneous late night outings to Target.

Scott's first CougarEat Experience

Scott now loves his puffy snow suit!

Right now we are in San Diego! Since we didn't know we'd be moving to Provo we got our tickets to see my family for Christmas out of San Diego months ago. It actually worked out well because Nate's siblings are in town and Scotty got to see his cousins! The night before we left my friend Kasee flew into Salt Lake to visit her Mom. My girlfriends and I drove up to pick her up from the airport and hung out after. It was so good to see her!

Love these girls!

 

In San Diego we've been able to see some of our old friends. Nate's friend from high school Julia came to visit us with her husband Brian. 


I also got to visit with my best friend from work Erica. I missed her!

We've had a great time with Nate's family!

Sarah is 3 weeks younger than Scott and is the sweetest baby!

Scott loves his cousins!

John and Vanessa came from Long Beach and brought presents for all the kids!

 

We are off to Virginia in the morning. Scott has had an ear infection so wish us luck. We had to see his doctor here in San Diego after the drive and got some medicine/ I hope he has been on it long enough to be feeling better. Flights with infants are NOT fun. But definitely worth it to go home from Christmas! 

Merry Christmas to all!
