LIfe as of late

Well, this week has been fairly stressful to say the least. Although both of us are happy the summer days are here, our anticipation of Harvard and the unknown way are lives are going to be changing is taking it's toll. It was our week to teach Sunday School this week and I didn't have the strength enough to do it so graciously Jason filled in for me. Some days I just feel so far from being the person that I want to be and having the home that I want that it is overwhelming. I want to be the wife that can come home from work and be happy for her husband and unselfishly serve and have enough energy to put the house together and most of all be happy and confident with herself. Some days are much harder than others. Here are some reminders (for me) of how good life can and has been over the past week or so. Oh and did I mention that we might have found an apt in Harvard? I'll let you know more soon :) 

Our trip to temple square to meet Jason's Aunt and Mom. Can you believe that after all these years I've never been on top of the Church administration building? It was so pretty! (Also I discovered Instagram and love it!)

 Our 9 month anniversary! I can't believe it's come up so fast and yes we are one of those crazy couples but why not be happy and celebrate when you have something to be happy about?

And last but not least was our day at the Strawberry days Rodeo with our Cambridge crew! I've never been to a rodeo so it was quite the experience! They had strawberries and cream which were delicious and reminded me slightly of Cambridge although we were far from there...yum :) Also I just want you to notice that in this picture the married couples are separated yet the ones dating (Rachael in the back) are sitting together, it makes me laugh.

Finally.....a VACATION!!

After working with only a few random days off here and there since September, I actually had about a week of vacation time and Jason finished school resulting in the most time Jason and I have had together since we've been married. Needless to say this vacation was much needed. Here's what we did

First was Stephen's graduation. Congratulations Stephen, I'm so proud of you.

 Also aren't my brother's so handsome?

            

And then we celebrated Jason's birthday doing all of his favorite things, namely golfing, eating at Spicy Korea, dancing at our friend's wedding reception and best of all partying with our Cambridge friends :)

Stopping at Jason's house to enjoy the family and farm and then on our way to Jackson Hole!

Thanks to my work we got to stay at the Amangani which was amazing! They have excellent service and gorgeous view of the valley. They had this box of chocolates when we arrived, cleaned our car, and gave us a parting gift of a wood carving. We definitely were spoiled.

Then we enjoyed a show at the Bar J Wranglers and the beautiful scenery of the Grand Tetons and a hike up to hidden falls. It was wonderful.
