BREAKING NEWS!!!

IT IS OFFICIAL WE ARE MOVING!
After 5 long months of waiting to hear from the Idaho National Laboratory, our prayers were answered today! Ben got the job and he starts October 27! We're moving quick! I'm still in Idaho and when I get home it will be a quick 2 weeks of work left and packing and then we leave! I can't believe it has finally happend but we are so excited and grateful! We will miss all of our friends and family in Virginia but are excited to make new ones in Idaho! We are also excited because the INL has offered Ben a generous moving allowance which will allow us to move for free! What a blessing! Grandma Breese and Uncle Nathan are very excited to have us near and we will probably be living with them for a few weeks until we find a house. We get to buy a house! Yeah! Okay, enough rambling on my part but we are very excited! HORRAY!

Greetings from Idaho...

We made it from Idaho last Monday. After working all night, Ben thankfully stayed home to let me catch 3 hours of sleep before getting on the plane. Hyrum fell asleep the first 20 minutes and I was so excited...then he woke up and was up the rest of the flight. Oh well. We luckily had nice neighbors on the plane that enjoyed entertaining Hyrum. It is so nice to be home though. We have pictures to come soon. My mom made me get Hyrum out of his carseat before I could even get out of the aisle in the airport so she could hold him. He loves seeing Grandma and Nathan. Hyrum's Great Grandparents arrived yesterday and he is enjoying getting to know them. Nothing too exciting is happening. Just a nice relaxing vacation. We are loving the cooler weather and how it cools off at night. It's nice to have some dry weather after the Virginia humidity. We miss Ben a lot and are grateful he is working hard for us while we get to relax. Hopefully we'll all be out here together soon! More to come!

The Perfect Day...

Friday night at work they said they were over-staffed for the holiday (labor day) and needed a few people to sit out(rarely this happens). I volunteered! So-I only worked Friday night last weekend which was heaven! Two whole days of no work and Ben home! The above and below picture is of Hyrum getting ready to leave for church.
Monday we decided to go swimming with Ben's parents. We tried this earlier this summer but the water was too cold so we tried again. We got Hyrum a floaty for the pool which he loved. We were only there for an hour but it was great and it wore Hyrum out!
Loving the floaty!
Mom and Hyrum sunbathing to get warm!
It was so nice to spend all day with Ben and Hyrum. We slept in, we played, we relaxed. It made me miss our former weekends together without work involved. Hopefully someday again soon we can enjoy this luxary! But for now, it was a perfect weekend!
