Where have we been??

Wow I feel like we have been cut off from the rest of the world for quite some time now. We recently moved and have not had regular access to the Internet, so I've had to take a break from life online:) Honestly, we've been so busy that I haven't had much time to worry about it anyway. A lot has happened since the last time that I was able to blog.... Where do I begin? Where I left off I guess, which was at my parents house just before Christmas... On the 22nd of December we were supposed to fly to Oregon to spend Christmas and New Years with the Probert's . I say supposed to because our flight ended up being canceled ( after waiting 5 hours at the air port might I add) because of the awful weather in Portland and in Salt Lake. We tried to find another flight but they were all booked until the day after Christmas! We tried every air line and there was nothing. So in our desperation and lack of sleep we decided to drive. The worst ever. We drove for 8 hours to get to the Idaho border to find that it was closed. Yep. No one was allowed to drive into Idaho because the storm made the roads too unsafe for travel. Our only option then was to turn around and drive back to Tremonten and stay the night in the Sandman Motel:) We found an alternate highway to get into Idaho and were able to reconnect to I80 the next day. We had an early 5am start and arrived in Lebanon Oregon at McKays parents house at 2am the next morning. Little MalaKai was such a trooper bless his heart. It was way too stressful on him, (in turn causing me to stress and worry), for me to ever do that again with such a young baby. NEVER! In our family though our motto is that it is all about the experience, and what an experience it was. We tried to make it as fun as possible and the memories will last a lifetime! MalaKai's first Christmas was one to remember!!
Oregon was a blast and the drive home was just as long and stressful but we made it just in time to start moving the very next day. Looking back I can say that I am so happy to be done and moved into our new place! Speaking of which... We now live in Canyonlands Apartments. Student housing right next to where we used to live. Why move next door you are wondering? Well, for free rent that's why! We help to manage one of the buildings here and in turn live rent free. It is so great because I can be with MalaKai and take him with me while I do whatever I need to do, and McKay can go to school and work, and we can afford to live AND save!! It's beautiful. Plus it is where our romance first began... McKay and I met while living here when I first moved to St. George almost 4 years ago. Good times. We still have 3 rooms, we now have 2 bathrooms, new tile floors which are a breeze to clean, and my favorite; a washer and dryer of our very own. The best part of it all is that it is all FREE!! All we pay for is the electric bill, everything else including the other utilities, cable, and internet is paid for by Canyonlands. We are so blessed to have found this so we don't have to go broke while McKay finishes school and I can be a full time mom to my sweet MalaKai.
Next up, for those of you who haven't heard the news... little Jen Jen is getting married! I can't believe it! My baby sis is going to be married come June. My parents will have gone through us all. CRAZY! I love her so much and I am so excited for all of the fun and festivities!
I have tons of pictures so I'll just shove them all in a slide show and call it good:) Probably the worst up date, but an update none the less:) Until next time. Peace!
