The East Coast

    I am just feeling really grateful today! Chase takes such good care of me, and he is an extremely hard worker. He finally hit over his numbers a few days ago for work and has excelled at his job. It's been fun being able to live all the way on the other side of the coast with him. I just really appreciate him! So here's a list of 10 things I love about him

1- He is an amazing cook

2- He cleans! Even when I don't ask him to

3- Children adore him

4- Even old people and not so old people

5- He does great sound effects

6- He is always happy as long as I have some sort of beverage stocked in the fridge

7- He always brings me home sour straws (candy)

8- He is very passionate about cars and keeping them clean

9- He is very intelligent   

10- He lets me watch my shows and will even watch them with me sometimes (: 

I am very lucky to have him in my life. He is such a great husband.

     The past few days I have been reflecting on our summer! I have gotten to do things I didn't think I ever would have... or it would have taken me many years to do. I got to live and visit New York, and Massachussetts. I got to experience firsthand the whole huge city experience! My sister was always the one who wanted to move to the bigger cities. 

I was able to:

- Go to the Statue of Liberty

- Walk and explore around Manhattan

- Visit beaches

- See the Empire State Building

- See Ground Zero, where many innocent lives where lost

- See Central Park

- See all the historical sites in Boston

- Go to the aquarium

- Swan boats

- Go to a Red Sox game

- shop and so much more! 

Chase and I planned our trip home the other night. It is going to take us about 4 days to get home. We are going to stop in Ohio and go to Cedar Point! I am so excited but it will ruin me for the smaller amusement parks that I love. We have 12 days left out here. This summer has gone by pretty quickly for me. 

Becoming a baseball fan

    We moved again to Marlborough, MA. We live about 40 minutes from the city again. I am excited to say we only have 18 days left! I am not really looking forward to the long drive home... but I am excited to see and go thru states I have never been before! We plan on stopping in Ohio and have a day at an amusement park. I am not sure what it is called but Chase went there when he was younger and loved it. As excited I am to be home I will miss the hustle and bustle out here. It has been a really fun experience. I love the big cities. Chase and I were lucky to have relatives that travel for work! My father in law came out and spoiled us rotten! We got to go to a Red Sox game, which was amazing. They played Baltimore. Of course we had to get hamburgers and hot dogs at the game. It was my first professional baseball game! We also went on the Freedom Tour. (It was my second time) I recommend it if you find yourself in Boston. 

    I am looking forward to being home for the consistency of living in one place longer than 3 weeks at a time haha. Being out here really makes you appreciate all of the things we took for granted, like our own bed, being able to see family and friends whenever we wanted, breathing air that doesn't smell like landfill and pizza mixed, and also a lot less traffic. 

    Until next time! xx

Sturbridge, MA

I am enjoying this little village type place we are staying in for hopefully the remainder of the time. It is more open here. There are places to hike, camp, and right behind us people are always boating in the lake or whatever is behind us. It is also really green here and humid. We only have like 29 days left until we move back home until next season (but who's counting). I am so excited. We found a nice church a half hour away from us. The ward is little still but probably bigger than any we have been in so far. The past couple speakers we listened to have been from Utah, and Arizona and have moved out here. 

Since we have lived here my crock pot and rice cooker has been a life savor. I love pinterest recipes! 

My baby sister finally got engaged! I am so excited for her and her fiance! The past couple weeks have been uneventful for Chase and I exploring wise. There isn't a whole lot to do in this area, but it has been nice to relax. I am hoping to get some hiking in though! 

I am quite surprised with all the stores and restaurants out here. They all close at 10, even on the weekends! We have decided it's worse than Utah on a Sunday haha. 

Until next time. Xx
