Spent conference weekend in Park City with the Gingras clan...

Mom and sis came up to help us move because we bought a house! Who does that? haha Crazy to say we are homeowners, but we are beyond excited to have our own place! So yes, they came to help us move but long story short we ended up not moving in that weekend, so we spent a few days playing! It was fun to just hang out and have some girl time!

...and hal rode an elephant (scared face emoji) haha i was panicking but she had a great time...

MOVING DAY

we went from this...

...to this!...

and hal went from sharing a room with the piano, and storage and cory's wardrobe...

...to having a room all to herself!! It is so fun having my own home to do what I want with it! Having way too much fun decorating over here!

We are now residents of Lehi, UT!

We absolutely love the area and everything else about this new change we made! Including this awesome trail behind our home, I know we will get great use out of it!...

Hallie time!... :)

Logan moves to Utah!... 

I have been very excited to have another sibling live close again! All but leah were able to come and help get logan settled. I sure love these brothers of mine!

 

Half Marathon #2!! Are we crazy!? 

Actually, to be honest, after doing this twice now, 13 miles really isn't that bad! I never thought I would get into running like this, but it has turned out to be fun! It is something Cory and I enjoy doing together throughout the week and it is a great way for us to take advantage of the scenery where we live!

This race was down Cottonwood Canyon, and it was such a gorgeous run! I didn't get in as much training as I hoped for, but I still managed to run the entire time and break my record by a few minutes :) I even had a bunch of the fam at the finish line cheering me on! Thanks everyone for coming to support us!
