Hawaii

A month or so ago, Chris and I took off for Hawaii while my parents watched Ethan. We met up with Chris's cousin, Josh and his wife Ilse and had an absolute blast!  

Highlights of the trip included:

- Staying at cottage on the beach. Way better than a hotel! 

- Snorkeling with the sea turtles

- Rock jumping at Waimea Bay

- Riding on a Catermaran 

- Hiking. Olomana trail and Maunawili Falls trail

- Feasting on DELICIOUS sushi

- Paddle boarding with spinner dolphins 

- Going to the Laie LDS Temple

We loved everything about Hawaii and loved coming home to a happy healthy boy. We sure did miss Mr. Ethan! 

California to Utah

Our last week in California was filled with fun, friends, and a triathlon. We were so sad to leave all that we love about California, namely our friends and the beach. However, we are excited to start a new adventure here in Utah. We purchased a townhouse in Lehi and will be here for at least two years while Chris works as an associate at Sorenson Capital.

Here are a few pictures from our last week.

We miss you California and friends. Our door is always open, come visit anytime : )

Yosemite

We took a last minute trip to Yosemite 2 weekends ago and it was so worth it! The views were incredible! The hike was amazing and fun (and exhausting). And Ethan was an angel in the car for the 4 hour drive. We sure are going to miss beautiful California!

Family

We had the opportunity to go to Utah this past weekend and the trip wouldn't be complete without visiting our Collin.

Words cannot express how grateful we are that families can be together forever! 

We love you, Collin.

Utah

If you're reading this blog I'm sure you already know, but if you don't, surprise! We're moving to Utah in a month. Chris will be working in Lehi at Sorenson Capital (a private equity firm). We are excited for the new adventures ahead. We are excited for his new job which will be much more reasonable as far as the hours go. We are excited to be close to family. And we are excited for our new townhouse! But...we are so sad to leave California. We have had a wonderful two years and have made some incredible friends! More posts to come about the amazing California but this post is going to celebrate our new townhouse. More pictures will come once we move in
