So it's been awhile...

I haven't posted since April so here are a some of the things we've been doing...(sorry for the lack of pictures)

We moved across town....well it's actually less than a mile from our old house and we LOVE our new place!! 3 bedrooms so Oakley finally has her own room, awesome neighborhood, the inside is all brand new with all new appliances in the kitchen, new countertops and cupboards, brand new hardwood floors, new paint...pretty much everything updated and super nice! We also have a two car garage and a HUGE basement! It is unfinished but is so great for storage, toys, all my craft stuff and not to mention a great place when those tornado warnings come around. We didn't get internet in our new house because we knew we'd be leaving for the summer so that is why it's been so long since a post. We will get it as soon as we get back and I can post some pictures of the awesome new house!

I ran a half marathon!!! Seriously one of the funnest things I have ever done! We had about 20 girls from Kirksville that ran the half or the full and it was so amazing to train with and support each other through it all! I loved it so much that I talked Ty into running one with me in Utah on July 7th (only about a week and a half away!)

Oakley started walking at 9 months and is EVERYWHERE!  It's been pretty crazy having her walk so young!

We came to Utah!!! We've been in Utah for a month now and I am loving every second of it!!  We have been playing nonstop....Moab, 7 peaks, Lagoon, Trafalga, Jump on It, Strawberry Days Rodeo, my cabin, game nights, Orem Summerfest, Fireworks, Parades, BBQ's, runs up the canyon, baseball games, basketball games, Sunday Dinner with the Fam, playing with cousins... I honestly forgot how much there is to do here!  We have spent the last two summers in Missouri so it has been SO great to have a summer in Utah.  I LOVE that in Utah you can hang out outside without constantly be dripping in sweat with all the humidity.  The grass isn't full of ticks and chiggars so you can actually run around bare foot.  It actually cools off at night!  I also have missed the GORGEOUS view of the mountains.  I seriously have cried a few times just staring at them.  I also love that we get to run right next to the temple on our morning runs everyday.  Being by family all the time is amazing of coarse.  Being right by Target, Old Navy, Hobby Lobby and pretty much every other store is not so bad either.  Having babysitters pretty much whenever you want has also been the best thing ever.  So basically, I am really enjoying my summer!  We have another month before we go back to Missouri and the craziness begins and Ty will be gone all the time so I am trying to soak up all the time I have with him.  When we get back to Missouri I will post pictures of all our fun!
