Utah

   Well, I'm here. I drove down with my mom last Tuesday! So, it's been a little over a week and I am barely getting into the swing of things. This transition has been extremely difficult! It's always tough leaving home, but this time has by far been the worst. It sure doesn't help that Travis wasn't able to come down with me right away. He had to stay home and finish up some work! However, good news, he will be down in 2 days!! I really have to admit, I didn't think that being away from my husband for a little over a week would be this difficult?! My oh my, do I miss him.
    It is dang hot down here! I'm still trying to adjust to the heat. It's been warm at home, but Utah is a different kind of heat. Apparently, it's literally been on fire for the past month. Luckily all the fires have been calmed down. I have kept busy doing a few things and getting ready for my cute husband to come down!



1. I fell in love with a puppy...

  Fus was dogsitting for the past week. She's watching her friends greyhound and another little pup that I can never remember the breed of. However, one day the pups had a play day with THIS pup, BLANCA!! She is the sweetest puppy in the entire world, I swear. She is an English Cream Retriever! Pretty much just a WHITE Golden Retriever. She has the softest fur and is just so cute. I want one :( 

2. I've been trying to decorate our little apartment... I don't want to put up any pictures yet, because I still have a LONG ways to go. I also want some things to be a surprise for when Travis comes down. So, once things are a little more put together, I will show off our tiny little place. 

3. Bronson is HOME!

    The Kaufusi's were so nice to invite me to the airport to greet Elder Kaufusi. Bronson has been serving in New Zealand for the past two years and is finally home! I have never seen a missionary come home before, so it was so fun to experience it with the Kaufusi's! I loved seeing everyone so happy! Welcome home Elder!! 

  Absolutely love all of these people! They are just missing Corbin, who will be leaving for Korea in 5 days for his mission. Missions are wonderful things!! The best thing my Travis could have ever done for me was go on a mission! They teach you how to love and how to serve. So blessed to be surrounded by great examples! 

4. I realized that I have THE greatest husband in the world!!! 

 Love that face! 

Just so typical Trav! Goofy to the core and I LOVE it. 

  Being here alone, what I've really needed is someone to be patient. Travis has gone way beyond that! He has listened to me complain and cry about missing him and missing home, been so dang sweet and loving. He has been perfect! He's been at home working his tail off so he can come and be with me. I'm so lucky to have someone like Travis who loves me and supports me in everything. I can't even begin to explain how happy and how glad I am that he picked me!! I love him and am counting down the hours til' he gets here!! Your wife misses you!!!
