Isn't life crazy! For those of you who don't know we moved to El Paso, Texas in May. So I guess we have been here for 4 months already. CRAZY! And I haven't even blogged about it yet. Huh...shocker. I am not very good at this thing. Well we love it here in El Paso. We are always busy with family, work, school, football, birthdays. I pretty much don't have any free weekends anymore. Don't get me wrong I do miss quite a bit about Arizona. Although I am glad I don't live there now. I DON'T miss the 120 degree weather. I do miss our friends and family from the good ole AZ though. We will be visiting soon. So we just moved into our own apartment at the first of July. We lived with one of Quin's brothers and their family until we got settled and found a place. They were so great to let us live there. We really appreciated it Greg & Kami! THANKS!!! I still have a few pictures to hang but for the most part I am starting to actually feel like we live here instead of just visiting. We spoke in church on Sunday and now both have callings in our ward. So I guess we are here to stay. I was so blessed to find a job only a week after moving here. My wonderful Sis. in law was working for a Lending Company helping part time processing mortgage loans. I had an interview and they told me I had the job on the spot!! That has never happened to me before. I really love my job! I must have been really burnt out of Tax returns. Can you blame me. Now I have my own office and I don't have to answer phones. They actually treat you like a person here. I don't feel guilty for asking for time off. In fact they are so great and tell me to take whatever I need. I have never had that before. Anyway I like my job. Quin is enjoying his as well. He still has another year and half left of school. He is so tired of school but I keep telling him 1 1/2 isn't that long. I am proud of him. He is getting all A's. He works really hard! We are loving life here in THE BIG TEXAS! I can't wait for summer to get over though. I can't stand the heat and the humidity. Its a killer!




This is a big catch up on Photo's!


 I did my first 10k in January! Wow I haven't posted in FOREVER!


Brittney, my mom and my aunt Lucy did Londons Run too! So proud of them.
I am going to run a 1/2 marathon in December!! Whoo Hooo! Wish me luck!


 Brittney & Casey took us repelling in Snowflake!
 I was so freakin scared. But I am glad I did it!


Quin was way braver than me!I did it once and I was good!


This was an art exhibit at the arts center in Mesa, AZ.
It was awesome. It felt like we stepped into a DR. SEUSS book.
We went with some of our Best Friends Paul & Carrie!
They were so much fun!





Cody went into the Air force this last year! I am so proud of him!
We went to a Diamond Backs game!


Poker Night in El Paso with the Hatch's. Quin and Travis
were the bar tenders they mixed drinks for all of us. Some were
great and some were pretty gross! And yes that is my husband
wearing white shoes. He is HOTT I know!
I learned that I wasn't the best at some of the card
games. But I got lucky!
Braxton came down stairs and decided he would  be the
bouncer. Just in case anyone got out of hand! ;-)

 Quin turned 26. We went to Texas Roadhouse with
all of his family. He was a good sport and got on the saddle!
 Balloon festival in New Mexico!

 Quin was a little cranky! Guess he didn't really want
to wake up early to see all the balloons! But I did!
 Cody graduated from Lackland Airforce Base!
He is so stinkin skinny and tall!
 The Alamo! It is such a sad story.
 Beautiful Brittney! I miss her so much! I wish she
wasn't so far away!
 4th of July in El Paso...well its fun with family.
Definitely not the best parade but it will do.

 We always stay up really late when we get together.
Dad never makes it! Over the years its been harder
and harder for him to stay awake!
 He was so tired he fell asleep on a canister of mixed nuts!


 Tori was baptised this July. I can't believe how big she is!
We tried to get a family picture...  : )


This summer has been crazy! But we are surviving! It is different but I like it. We have definitely had some new adventures here in El Paso. We really enjoy being with a lot of family.
Hope everyone has a great week!
