Sean and Eunice's wedding celebration!


This past weekend we got to celebrate with our friends Sean and Eunice at their wedding! With help from our nanny, my brother and his wife, and a babysitter, we were able to trust that our kids would be okay back home for the weekend. Based on the photo below, can you guess what airport we flew to?



We flew from Provo to Portland! I guess this carpet has been teased as very ugly and it was a trend a while back to take photos of your feet with the carpet when you pass through the Portland airport on social media. Most of the carpet has been replaced at the airport and the Portland airport has also been significantly beautified since. 

We got to see many people we love. On Saturday before the meet and greet at the wedding, we were able to hike a section of the Pacific Coast Trail, a trail that goes thru the United States from Mexico to Canada (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Crest_Trail) with our friend Dan. 


The connection of us to Sean and Eunice and a subgroup of the guests at the wedding was that we all worked in the Seattle area several years ago and got together at parties, board game nights, and dinner groups. We took a Seattle photo of our crew at the wedding (that I hope to update this blog with when I receive it) but for now it's probably good enough to share that it was a lot of fun reuniting with old friends. We spent the weekend in Sisters Oregon (with a small drive over to visit Bend), and it was full of meals with friends (including this cute couple who now have two beautiful children together: https://mrdandmrsm.blogspot.com/2018/10/matthew-and-camilles-wedding.html).

The groom, Sean, moved to the east coast a few years ago and we have missed seeing him; however, when he was back in town a couple years ago, he invited us to join him on a camping trip. We had been camping with him several years prior, so it was fun for David and Neil to camp out with him near Mount Rainier. We've always appreciated Sean's love for the environment and appreciation of nature and the outdoors.

We are happy for Sean and Eunice to be married now and to have been able to experience their wedding and wedding ceremony with them. Sean is incredibly genuine and thoughtful and we are glad he's found someone who values and adores him. Can't wait to see what their future holds for them.

Come visit us in Utah and stay in our Primary Suite

Back in July, David and I looked at homes as we considered moving here to Utah. One feature that was a little bit unique about our home we ended up picking, is that it has two primary bedrooms (one on the main floor and second one upstairs). We thought it would make sense for each of our three boys to have their own rooms upstairs (with us on the main floor), but that meant one of them would get the primary suite, which seemed a little much to us. We decided that our oldest son could have the big bedroom, but told him that he would need to share it when we have guests over. So far the arrangement has been working well.  We were hopeful my parents (who still live in the Seattle area we left) would visit us often as well as my sister and her husband who currently live in Texas. We added a king bed and have been using it to lure our family members into visiting us. We are pleased to share that we've gotten to host them several times. At Christmas we got a little creative with our extr...

We are Utahn's now!

We've moved to Highland Utah and are enjoying this new chapter of our lives here! We have discovered that Utah has lovely late summer/early falls. The weather is nice out each day and we are finding ourselves spending a lot of time outside. The kids ride bikes and scooters in the front yard in our cul-de-sac with the neighborhood kids. Our neighbors are warm and friendly. Now that we live on a flat street, Neil has learned how to ride a bike. We live near a paved bike trail called the Murdock trail that is amazing. We enjoy going to Neil's soccer games as a family. The doorbell rings every day with neighbor kids coming over to play. James was invited to his second-ever friend birthday party. Feel free to comment with what you like about where you live and your favorite things to do outdoors.
