When we got back to Rexburg we headed to my FAVORITE place: Karie Anne's.  For those of you who don't know, Karie Anne's is a little snow-cone place that has this amazing thing called a gelati.  It's a layer of shaved ice, then custard, then shaved ice.  It. is. so. good.  I used Andrew's leftover cup for these flowers or weeds or whatever they were, found in a field close by.

I am so thankful for all the service men and women that dedicated their lives to fight for this country.  I live in such a great country, which wouldn't be possible without those that serve our country.  Thank you.

Love, Emily

(I swear this picture wasn't taken by a 2 year old.  I was just in a hurry and didn't notice my finger in the way.  But really, how cool is this frog?!)

Sadly, it started raining the next day.

This was the second bedroom the morning before we moved.  It was very crowded to say the least.

But first, In N Out. 

We stopped by a home decor store called Hidden Treasures in Shelley, ID.  It was the coolest place ever.  I told Andrew how glad I was we don't live closer.  I would probably spend a little too much money there if given the chance. I went in looking for a few drawer handles.  They had rows and rows of these containers, totally filled with handles.

Our hotel in Park City was awesome.  It was bigger (and much nice) than our entire apartment here in Idaho.  (We stayed here.)  It was gorgeous and such a fun place to stay.  After our vacation we decided we need to go to Park City more often!

3. We got a second car!! Yay! Splitting one car between Andrew and I was not going to cut it any more.  Between work, school, and everything other place we both needed to be at the same time, sharing one car was not enjoyable.  After figuring out a budget, I spent a lot of time researching the kind of car that would be best for us for the next 5+ years.  I decided on...(drum-roll please)... a Ford Escape!  We got a cute Escape that's perfect for our family.  This new car was going to be mine to drive, while Andrew drove around our smaller car.  But somehow Andrew keeps driving it more than me...  Oh well.

4. Preschool starts this week!  For those of you who follow along, I announced a while back that I would be working in the on-campus preschool this semester.  I've had orientation for the past two weeks and am thrilled to get this preschool started!!  I'm a little nervous since this is so new to me, but wow: I'm excited!

Have a lovely rest of your Monday!  And may it pass quickly for all of you. :)

 

Love, Emily
