Here are the rest of the pictures I promised from Vancouver!
Once we got back home we realized we only had a couple more weeks left in Seattle forever. Arriving back in Seattle we both were surprised how much we felt we were back at home. Josh and I tried to figure out the best way to get all of our stuff back to Utah. We decided there wasn't enough room in the car for me and our stuff. I flew home a week early with as many bags as I could take. Naturally since Josh would be out there for another week selling I went to California for one last trip with my parents and grandparents. He insisted that I go with my family on one last trip before I started work. I still felt so bad that he had to work while I was on vacation and then drive back alone. He reminded me that if I didn't go to California and insisted on making the drive with him I would have to be strapped to the top of the car anyways. He is such a good husband to have packed up all of our stuff and make the drive alone.
My parents and I drove to Newport Beach and enjoyed 5 days at our timeshare. This was the first trip without any of my siblings. Everyone had school but me....lucky me. Anyways, I felt like I was an only child and I won't lie, I'm not sure I liked it. It was so different to not have my siblings around. Luckily my parents are pretty cool cats and we had a good time. My sweet Grandma would give an arm and a leg to live in California. The whole trip she just stared out the window like a little kid on Christmas Eve waiting for Santa. She gave me permission to sprinkle her ashes in the ocean one day. Here she is trying to rationalize how to buy her dream home in Newport...
I went on some great runs along the beach and cannot get enough of the ocean.
An exhausting bike ride with my dad. The "short ride" he promised was sooo NOT
(Newport Temple)
Swap Meet with some tall freaks
Dinner, shopping and Pink berry are always on our to do list
The trip finally came to an end and back to Utah for good it was. We flew home Thursday night for the BYU Football game. I was so excited to be back in Utah for good with Josh! Going to the BYU football game was a different experience than I was used to. It was the first time in 6 years that I had ever actually sat in a seat and watched the game as a fan. There were pros and cons. Being on Cougarettes and working for Marketing gave me the best seat in the house...the field! The pros of being a fan with nothing to do was I was free and could actually sit back and enjoy myself!
Josh and I are currently living with his parents for the next couple of months until our townhouse in Draper is finished being built. We loved our summer in Seattle and left so many great memories behind. Now that we are back it is time for a new chapter in our lives. We are so excited to live in a brand new place of our very own come November! Josh and I are having way too much fun making preparations and looking at furniture!
I start my new job at Domo tomorrow doing Marketing, I am so anxious. There are so many new exciting things taking place in our lives and we love it!
Peace out for now.
Love the Newbolds
