I can't believe it has been 2 1/2 months since I blogged last. So much has happened in the past few months, and I have so many fun things to share. Instead or boring everyone with a huge long explanation of everything that has happened in the past 2 1/2 months I will just share a lot of pictures!
-In April we enjoyed spending a lot of time with family. We celebrated Easter with my Aunt Brittany and her family. We all had matching Easter outfits, we decorated about 3 dozen eggs, and we had an awesome Easter egg hunt.

- In April we made the decision to move to Cedar City where Shaun could finally start and finish his education. My Aunt Brittany and her husband, Joe were planning on moving to Cedar City so Joe could attend SUU for their Engineering Program. After touring the campus with them and after a lot of discussing and prayer, we made the leap and decided this was the best place for Shaun to pursue his Nursing degree. We have moved one too many times, but this move was necessary. So, May 12th we made the move to Cedar City with my Aunt and her family and we have settled down in a 6 bed, 3 bath home with two kitchens, three living areas, and plenty of space for two growing families. Shaun and I will both start August 22nd. I will finish my degree at SUU and Shaun will start his career as a student.

-The first of June we traveled out to California for my brother, Joshua's high school graduation. It is so amazing how fast time flies by. It really teaches you to take advantage of every second of every day.

- The home we moved into here in Cedar City has a pretty good sized backyard so we decided we would add to our family, and get a second dog (my Aunt has a small dog named Bella). We figured it would be great for Bella, who was getting lonely, and Shaun loves dogs. We got a mixed Lab and some other breed, we named her Mari, short for Marisol, one of Shaun's favorite girl names from his mission in Guatemala (one I refuse to use for any of our daughters because very few people in America pronounce is correctly, and it is not nearly as pretty when people mispronounce it.
