See You Later, Home Sweet Home

I haven't been very good at updating here lately! Oops :) But there is always time to fix that!
So we moved back home... to cute, little Logan, Utah. We had been praying about this decision for about a month and I just kept fighting it, because as much as I love being close to family and having our apartment and a real shower, all I really wanted was to stay in North Dakota. In our little home away from home where we had grown to love. Don't take this the wrong way, both me and Brett made the decision to move back, in fact on the last days it was my doing that lead us here earlier than planned. I just wanted it to be summer forever. I wanted to see the sunflowers every day as I drove home from work. I wanted to go fishing with my husband on weekends. I wanted to have corn roasts with Barb and Kim all the time. I wanted to go on runs out in the country. I wanted to work for Dean and help him build up the Wrangler. I wanted to laugh all day with my favorite "regulars" and meet new people all the time. I wanted to stay in our little branch and help it grow. I wanted to hang out with the missionaries and get frustrated with them when they weren't working hard enough. I wanted to meet up with Bro.Pederson, Bro Park and Marshall randomly and go get dinner or watch movies. I wanted to come home to the trailer and complain about the flies and play cards with Brett all night. I wanted to go to Minot once a week with my husband. I wanted to live out in the middle of no where with my best friend.
Yes, these are all things we did often and things we loved. North Dakota was the best adventure and perfect place for us at the time but it was time to come home and the Lord agreed. It was time to leave our favorite people and things and find new favorites. Find new adventures.
Yes, it was hard that we had to leave. We hate leaving places and people we love, especially when we feel so needed. But, like Brett said, this is like a mission, you serve people, you love them and then you get transfered. We were just getting transfered, we spent two transfers in North Dakota and we will never forget them but its time to move on to the next transfer and give it our all over here.
Leaving always makes me sad but I have to keep in mind that it's not goodbye, its see you later! Because we do plan on seeing those people again. Coming back does have it's perks, we got to see my brother open his mission call, yes, he's going to Billings, Montana! Right close to our favorite spot ;) We got to see Brother Worthen, and be welcomed home by Pres. Wallis. We made it to the Brigham City Temple Open House, we get to help mom with her big republican event. We get to be here before Bryan and Angie leave for Hawaii. We get to see old friends and be super close to our families! As much as I miss our place (ND) being home has been good, after all.. we've never been married and lived in the Valley, so it really is a whole new adventure!
 We are currently living with the Kendrick's until our apartment opens up in mid November. We feel spoiled, we have a hot shower every day and home cooked meals. Life is good. :)
