Ok- so I have just spent a few hours trying to use a blog editor to post a cute blog and I had it all figured out and now it wont post! GRRRR! Any ways- I guess I will just post and see how it works out... I will have to find a better editor or something who knows...Anyways... Here it goes!
Summer for us started out with our move from Pocatello to Boise. After lots of thought and prayer we decided to leave ISU and our family in Pocatello and venture to Boise. I was more than a little home sick and Aaron has always wanted to live in Boise so off we went! We were able to transfer with our jobs - Aaron with Money Tree and I was with Home Depot at the time. My Grandpa Beal and my brother Justin drove from Boise to Pocatello on Friday night May 30 and then back to Boise. The next morning we were up at about 5 am to sign our lease and get everything unloaded! Thanks to both Grandpas, Justin, Uncle Larry and some of our new ward members we were unloaded in 30 min! I couldn't believe it! I wish the unpacking went as quickly... Our new apartment isn't nearly as spacious as our last apartment but it will do for now.
June
The first part of June was consumed with unpacking, buying some new furniture, and finding a home for everything (other than it's cardboard tomb).
The end of June was our first year wedding anniversary! We were more than ready to get out of town and spend some time together. We set our sites on Cascade and McCall. We spent the night at the Ashley Inn in Cascade (it reminded me of London!). Saturday we took off for a day of wandering through McCall! We walked through town and then drove over to Ponderosa State Park. We drove through the park and walked on some of the little trails. We had some wonderful views of the Lake. It was a beautiful trip and we really enjoyed the time together.

July
My moms' brother, Brett, and his family were visiting from Utah for 10 days right around the fourth. We had a blast going to see the fireworks at the Meridian Speedway, going to the Zoo and some of the Parks around Eagle.
July was also our camping trip with my mom to the Lowman area. We had a great time enjoying the great outdoors! Mom brought Cocoa with her for the first night- she isn't used to camping so mom took her home the next morning and came back to finish out the trip. We had fun fishing in the river the first two days and hanging around camp. We had seen signs for some hot springs so Aaron and I decided to hike around and see if we could find them. It was about a 15 min hike along the river to a rock outcroping and the hotsprings spitting out the side of the mountain under the highway. We spent the heat of the afternoon sitting on the rock beach building rock stacks and keeping our feet in the cold river. Before we knew it we had spent about four hours by the water and had neglected to put on sunscreen- so our legs were a little fried! Thank goodness we had our hats on to keep our heads and faces shaded! It was a good trip and we can't wait to go camping again!
Our next adventure in July was our quick trip to the Twin Falls Temple open house. We went with my mom, my dad's brother Joel, his wife Jenn and their two children Jared and Julie as well as my Grandpa and Grandma Campbell. It was so wonderful to experience the spiritual joy of the Temple with my husband and family. I have been so blessed to be able to attend the temple many times, but each time I go I feel the warmth and comfort of the spirit. Every time I go to the temple I feel like if I could turn around fast enough I would see my dad sitting with me. What a blessing it is to be able to attend the temple and feel the love that our Father in Heaven has for us.
After the temple tour we drove up to Shoshone Falls for a picnic dinner and to walk around the falls. It was so beautiful and a great end to a wonderful day!
