Let's rewind a bit....

To our last week in Florida and our journey back home. We actually managed to squeeze in a lot of fun amongst all of the packing. I still don't think I really believe that we moved! I'm sure that will change if and when we finally get settled in here...but back to Florida. We went for some nice drives around where Cam worked and took these:




We saw some amazingly beautiful sunsets and our good friend Dustin took some pics for us to remember the beach. I don't want to share them all because I'll probably use them for our Christmas card, but they're beautiful.





And then we made one last trip to the beach during the day to play and say our good byes. Tear.



We decided to leave a day earlier than planned, which I am so grateful for! A 26 ft truck pulling our van on a trailor equalled one slow ride! Hudson was totally obsessed with the truck and had to ride with daddy almost the whole three days it took us to get to Missouri.


I am so grateful for our great dads who both flew out there and drove home the rest of the way with Cam while the kids and I flew home. That wasn't a cake walk either though. I honestly felt like I deserved a prize for getting us home that day. I still don't know how I got all of our stuff on the shuttle bus and to the car!

It is great to be back home though. The weather has been beautiful and we have been busy with a lot of family stuff already. Cam started his new job on Monday and we think he's really going to like it!

We are so excited for you! Especially because this means we will most likely get to see you at least once a year when we go to UT in the summer You will just have to come out to CA to satisfy your beach cravings.

Still can't believe you are back home. I think I will soon be able to put my car in auto drive, I just want to come over there everyday. Glad you are in Wellsville, it makes it a little closer than Smithfield. I must say however, I will miss those beautiful Florida beaches. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to visit one of the places on my "bucket list". So, so many fun and wonderful memories. Of course, the best one of all is being there when Miss Kennady was born. For me that will always be a "sacred" moment in time.
