This was actually taken at the concert that we were at, I was right next to this girl.
I just love Blue! This was the 2nd concert that I have been to and it was so great to be able to be so close to the stage. Their music is so inspiring and has so much meaning behind it. We saw them in Austin while living in Dallas and were so excited to learn that they would be playing in Salt Lake. During the concert Justin sang to me and then threw me a guitar pick. I told Rick that he should be jealous :). After the show I got to meet him, he signed my shirt, and then I got a hug from him. It was so great and I can't wait to see them again. Thanks mom, Jackie, and Cari for watching Bella and letting me have such a great b-day present!
Life in Salt Lake is good. The weather during the summer months here is so much better than the hot and humid summers in Dallas, but I REALLY miss Dallas. This statement is so funny to me because I hated it there for the first year and I really wanted to move home, but it was such a great place to live and the people there are so friendly! Not to mention all of the great things that there is to do there. I wouldn't be surprised if one day we move back :)!
The house that we are living in is great and we love our ward. We are right smack on the mountain and the views from our deck are amazing. You can see the entire valley. I am sure the winters are going to be a nightmare, but lets not think of that quite yet.
Bella is doing great and has almost mastered potty training. Okay so that is a little premature, but we are on our 3rd day and the accidents are getting fewer. She is now signed up for dance and gymnastics. She has been wearing her ballet slippers to bed at night, because she is so excited to start dance. She is getting so big and her vocabulary is just growing. Her funny saying now is when we ask her what her name is she says "Bella Dr. Larson". We don't know where she picked that up other than maybe from Rick's graduation, but it is so funny.
Rick is enjoying work and is keeping busy. I must say that I love his four day work week. He is staying active with soccer, flag football, and cycling, which can get a little annoying :)...love you Rick!
I am just busy with Bella and work of course. It has been great to be around old friends and especially have Rachel move here.
Hope all is well!
Bella playing dress up.
This was Yancy. We had him for one day and I am tempted to go get him back. He was such a great dog and I just wasn't ready.

Your little girl is sooooo cute! Keith is actually in Dallas right now and says it is superhot. I loved Texas when we went there for a few days last winter. I can see why you miss it!
Your right Rick totally should be jealous. I am sorry I couldn't make your girls night. We should plan something again go to Vegas for a couple nights or something. I can usually get really nice rooms for cheap.
Super excited to see you so soon. I kinda wanna see your place...the view from your deck and all! Chat with you next week.
I love Blue October too- that is awesome that you got to go see them again!
You guys are just too cute and I am glad to see you are doing well!!
OK, so a lot has been going on with you. Potty training and pets, among other things, are a huge challenge. I have a strange question. What is the name of that Mexican place we ate at with you and Rick (in Dallas) that we loved (I know we ate at a couple, but this was the sit-down place, not Chipotle)? C.J. is making a little trip in D and wants to eat there.
YEA! Way to go on the potty training! Its good if you're still sane enough to blog. :) Mckenzie has been talking ALOT about Bella lately. i think because she has a new friend named "ella" and she immediately thinks of bella, and will start rambling about how she TALKS now! And about all her fun toys. :) We miss you guys! COME BACK TO TEXAS! (preferably Austin) :) Glad things are going well though!
so there is hope that maybe one day you'll move back. That makes me smile!!
We miss you SO much! It's no fun having friends move :(
