Getting All Caught Up


This picture has nothing to do with this post, but I love this picture and posts without pictures are pretty boring. Anyway, we have had a lot going on the past couple of weeks. The first big thing is that we are all FINALLY home. Nixon and I flew home (it was seriously the flight from hell) last week Friday and then Nic joined us this past Wednesday. The Boston office moved down to Georgia and he was going to go with them but then we had a few things happen and we knew that the right thing to do was for Nic to come home. So he left Monday morning and started the long drive all by himself. He made it home safely on Wednesday afternoon and Nixon and I were so excited to be with him. For any summer sales wives out there, you all know that you hardly see your hubby's all summer. It has seriously felt like we haven't seen Nic all summer. It's been so nice to finally be able to spend time with him and hang out with him.
And sorry about the quality of this picture. It's and iPhone pic and for some reason turned out all fuzzy. Friday night Nic and I went to the Jack Johnson concert. This is the only picture we took all night. We had a fun time just hanging out not having to worry about a thing. It was my 5th time seeing him in concert and Nic's first time so he was pretty excited. The very first opening act was a band called ALO, we've never heard of them before, and frankly, didn't like them very much. When they started to play Nic and I both looked at each other and thought that the music was extra loud. HAHA. We weren't sure if it's because we're old parents now or if it was extra loud. It turned out that that particular band was extra loud for some reason because we were fine the rest of the concert. We enjoyed the evening and after the concert headed to the Marriot hotel up in Cottonwoood canyon. Nixon had a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's and as always, had a blast. Saturday Nic and I went up to Park City and did some shopping for Nixon and the little one on the way. It was a very nice little getaway with just the two of us because it seriously has felt like Nic and I haven't had any alone time all summer. Thank you so much mom and dad!!!!

Nic starts school again on the 26th. He starts the fire academy at UVU and is so excited to be getting into that. I'm going back to work part time so it's going to feel like we're getting back into our old routine. Nixon is 19 months old now and is as busy as ever. He's nonstop all the time and he definitely keeps us busy and on our toes at all times. He's the cutest thing ever and we love him to death. We're SO SO SO happy to be back in Utah. We're loving the dry summer heat compared to the nasty hot, humid weather back in Mass. It's been so nice to be back home with all of our families!!

We're SO glad to have you all back home, SO glad you had a nice getaway, and SO glad we got to have Nixon to ourselves for a day! Even though he didn't sleep too well, it was SO fun to have him! Oh yeah...and we're SO happy Nic has made a decision about school. He will be awesome at serving and taking care of others!!
We love you all!
