Saying goodbye to Washington :(

Not matching was kind of scary for us and this was supposed to be a weird, in-between year... so I am so incredibly grateful for our time in Washington being so amazing. Our easy transition, the people, our cute house, amazing ward, and sooo much great stuff to see there. I will always look back on this year with the greatest memories and I was way more sad leaving than I ever thought I would be after just one year.

We spent almost every single night during our last month here with different friends. We will miss so many people here!


I had a birthday! I went to breakfast at a cute place downtown then we went to Tacoma when Dal got home and went to dinner (Mae even kind of behaved herself) and found the cuuutest park and it was lovely. Plus Dal made me a delicious cake!

Some of my friends from high school stayed at our house for a few days so they could jump off a crazy high bridge. It was fun to see them but stressful to watch their bridge jumping because I have 2 toddlers and I almost had a heart attack watching them run around up there.

We had a Saturday spent at Black Lake with the Paynters. I had low expectations for Mae but she loved it and kept her life jacket on! Woot! It was the best day. We love that family.

Me + Tiffany with our babies














Meeting Jenna and Sam's new baby Rory! The cutest.
We had many fires with Tiffany and John, which were all difficult since it was so rainy all the time

Always sunday selfies

So sad that Kailee moved to WA right before we left. On a hike with her at Rattlesnake Ridge






Cookies for the kids' teachers on our last day at church :( I was so sad.  Best ward EVER.

Dennis and Lisa came out to drive one of our cars to SLC. They are the nicest.

And now we are in Utah. Happy to see family but I already miss Washington.
Thankful for the most amazing year there.
