I feel like this post won't quite be complete. What it really needs is a photo/slow-motion-video memory montage with some sentimental musical ballad playing in the background like they do in the movies. Life in review always seems better that way, if only I were that computer savvy...
Moving has been a bitter sweet of course. We LOVED Rexburg and are leaving behind some wonderful memories. The home we came to as a newly married couple was there (bless that bathroom-less place!), the home we brought Brinlee home to was there, the school that gave us both degrees is there, and our very best friends were there.
Such good times! But alas, life moves on, and here we are now becoming Blackfootians. I think so far we still need to explore the area a bit. But we certainly are in love with our new apartment!
Never mind the fact that we clearly need to do a bit more unpacking/decorating/cleaning, our new home is brand new and completely adored! We've actually been taking note and compiling a list of "firsts" that we are enjoying since the move. So far this apartment has been
- our first garbage disposal
- our first second bedroom
- our first bedroom connected to a bathroom
- our first washer and dryer (thank you Amy!)
- our first dishwasher
- our first designated parking spot
- our first thermostat
- our first back porch
- our first encounter with counter space
- our first doorbell
The day we moved was our anniversary and we actually really enjoyed spending the day reminiscing fond memories and looking forward to new adventures. We will be here about a year while I get some ICU experience, Tim gets a Master's degree, and Brinlee learns to walk. Certainly lots of wonderful things to look forward to.
But, dear Rexburg, you will always hold a special place in our hearts!
That place looks awesome!! Brian and I are moving to Seattle, I hope we find as nice of a place as that!! :) Brinlee is soo adorable! I can't wait to put little Luke in a bumbo, I'm sure he'll love it!
