Edinburgh the Most Magical City



 As surprising as it is we actually were out the door by 8:15am today! We were not messing around that we wanted an early start to get the most out of today in Edinburgh! We caught a taxi to the top of Royal Mile where the castle is located and it is a magnificent castle! Then we started working our way down the street and stopped a bunch to take pictures with pretty buildings. Then we stopped at the Elephant Cafe which is where J.K Rowling started writing Harry Potter! 
Then we went to the National Museum of Scotland which had a animals, history, and other cool things. It was a nice break from the cold weather. Then we went to the University and ran into 3 missionaries on campus, one of them was from Utah but had an accent already and we really didn't believe he was from Utah. He had to tell us like 3 times that he really was from there. Then the other was from Utah and one was from London. We talked about our trip with them and then asked them about how missionary work was out here and they said a lot of college age kids get baptized, it's the older people who are harder to teach. It was pretty cool running into them. Then we ate at Byron Burgers which was actually really delicious. Then we did some souvineer shopping, then headed up a mountain to Arthur's seat. It wasn't necessarily a hard hike, only took about 30 minutes to get up, but we were in our coats, boots, scarfs, heavy bags, so it winded us a bit. But the view at the top was worth it, compete 360 view of the town! Really incredible. We took our time down so we wouldn't slip in the mud and at that point our feet were killing us! We just went back to the apartment to sit for an hour before we needed to head to the airport to catch our flight to London! Overall Edinburgh has been my favorite place and I am so sad we only spent 24 hours there and can't wait to come back someday!

September First Camping Trip with Myla

Image
  Started out with Labor Day and Lucas had it off so Micah joined us on a bike ride. We we’re still watching the Millett’s so we had Jane sleep over so she could watch Myla while we rode. Then we had breakfast and hung out there and then had all the cousins over for a swim party to celebrate Alli & Jacobs birthday. Myla started developing a rash around her eyes and mouth that seems to be caused from heat. It flares up in the car and after naps. So hopefully it will go away soon. We had Sunday dinner with my family and the boys had fun laughing Myla around In a box. This week I filmed Traci Beagley and her breast cancer journey and it was very powerful and I’m glad I was able to be apart of bringing awareness to so many. I just had another afternoon with the Millett’s. Next I went to the library with Tayzia for baby Olympics.  Then that night we went to the ASU game with the Packard’s and Trennon & Cari Anne. We got shaved ice that smelt like gasoline so that wa...

Now What?

This past month has been different and not quite what I was expecting. This whole semester I had been working hard for ADI and with the hope that they would hire me on after the internship was over. They had been telling me multiple times that they love me and are trying to get a position open to keep me here for good. Having that said I was kind of banking of getting hired post graduation. Well a couple weeks ago Sue took me to lunch to inform me that they actually do not have a position available because Hotel Site Select has not taken off as fast as they were hoping and they will not have the money to pay me. I was pretty upset and sad because I really LOVE this business, and the other employees are so good to me, and I was already making my future plans to be with them. That lunch meeting was not the happiest, and I was pretty down the next week or so. Many thoughts began to run through my head about being jobless, and how am I going to pay off my loans, and where should I apply no...

October Beginning of Holidays

First day of the month and we had the Bodine ladies over for sister lunch which was really refreshing since we had been home all week not feeling good. It was a good time like always, I’m glad to have them as my sister in laws! Friday we did pickleball with the Skousen’s, Packard’s, and Standage’s for date night and it was super fun to be active and have a group date night! Saturday I had a Romanian Pentecostal wedding that was from 8:30am-7:30pm. It was looong but fairly easy since there is a lot of driving to different locations. It was also conference so I listened to a little bit during the drives. Sunday we started potty training... again. We woke up and “threw” the diapers away and made Myla say goodbye to them and she gladly did. Then we put on underwear and told her to tell us every time she has to go. She had about 7 accidents that day which is normal cause I was pumping her with water & juice all day to make her pee more. It was really nice to have Lucas here on day 1 bec...
