We made it home!!!

We made it to Longview. It was a long drive but totally worth it. Tad and I went and looked at our place today with Peter and it needs a lot of TLC but I think it is going to be great when we are done. We might be able to move into the place by Labor Day how cool is that. I will keep everyone updated, I just wanted to say we made the drive safely so no one was worried.

The updates and rest of the pictures!!

Here are the rest of the pictures from our trip and some pictures from our camping trip and our temple trip with our friends. All of our trips were amazing. the temple was one of the best trips of all. We are so greatful to have such great friends and we are so blessed that we were able to be a part of such a wonderful step in their life.

Our duplex is going to be wonderful once we get everything done. We will have to replace all the carpets and paint. We will have to replece a few things but it will all be totally worth it. We will be living with my mom and dad for a couple weeks until we get everything done. It will be hard work but I will post pictures when it is all done. I am so excited to get in there and make it our own.

Our trip was amazing as you all know from my other blog. We got to spend a lot of time with my sister and her boyfriend and That was great. i was so excited to meet my new little neice Ali (the pupy) and she loved her uncle Tad.
