Our goings-on this month

About 6 years ago Richard and I moved to Rhode Island for school. We made so many great friends and had a very memorable time there. Thanks to Bethany Chambers, we were able to have a get-together of all of us who were in RI and are now living in Utah. Unfortunately, not everyone was able to make it. But we had a good time chatting, eating and catching up on everyone's lives since RI. I found out my camera had a nice little smudge on the lens, so hence the smudge right in the middle of the photo. Oh well.












When we moved into our house 2 months ago, there were no plants in the front. Then something started to pop up after a few weeks and now...they are taking over our house!! They are pretty and I love the red sunflowers! Hopefully you can see them in the close-up. This past saturday, Richard and I went out and took control and pulled a bunch of these sunflowers up. We left a few of the yellow on the end and some red ones on the other side. It looks a bit better now. We'll probably end up pulling more out soon. They grow like crazy!


Today, my little Preston started Kindergarten. It was so strange! I actually got a tiny bit choked up, but I didn't cry! He looked so cute (and nervous) as he went in. It'll be nice to have alone time with Sara now. We'll be spending time at parks and gyms now, yay!

How fun! We would have loved to be there. RI is proving to be the best place with the best people that we've been to so far. It's not that we don't enjoy others it's just .. I don't know, something special about that beautiful place with amazing people. So small and yet so big :)
