What Will I Miss?

For those of you who have not heard, Mike and I are moving to Spartanburg, SC. We will be living in Charleston for two months with my parents while Mike completes his internship but then we will officially start this new phase and be on our own again. Anyone who knows me knows that I hate Rexburg weather and I do not like that I have to drive 25 miles to be able to go to a descent restaurant or to go shopping. However, Rexburg is where I went to college and where Mike and I met and got engaged so I guess I'm a little sad. I'm going to miss our ward the most. Mike and I have been sunbeam teachers in the 13th ward for almost two years and we have LOVED it. We have had the sweetest kids and the best behaved kids (trust me they didn't start out that way though). Some may say that having favorites is bad but oh well, we did. We had one favorite sunbeam and she knew it. She may have our favorite but Mike was definitely her favorite. It was pretty cute :) Aeris and Mike

Aeris and I

When I asked Aeris to take a picture on my lap I got tons of funny faces. This is still a great picture of us though. When Mike asked her to take a picture with him, she gave that adorable smile that I had been waiting for. I would have been more upset but she is too sweet and that picture of the two of them is just too cute. This leads perfectly into the next thing that I will miss. The friends we have made while we have lived in Rexburg. First, Lisa and Skyler Hebdon. Lisa and I in our graduation outfits that were found after many shopping trips.

Second the De Jeans. They were our neighbors for the past year and great friends. We don't have many pictures but these are few at the good bye party we had with everyone who was moving. We'll miss having great friends and neighbors like Kim and Arthur.

Something else I will miss about Rexburg is having a temple a mile from my house. I will miss being able to see it from my living room window.

Living in Idaho has also allowed me to be closer to my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I have enjoyed being able to get to know them better and visit them. Mike and I were sure to stop in Salt Lake to say goodbye to my family before we move East. I wasn't able to get pictures with everyone or of everyone that I wanted mainly because I just forgot but I did get a couple. We were sure to visit my cousin Breanna and her family.

We also got to visit Aunt Gail, Uncle Bob and my grandparents even though I didn't get any pictures. For those we didn't get to see, we hope you will come to visit us one day so we can see you again. We're now off to our next stop....Las Vegas!!!!
