August

August 3rd Peter and his brother Derrick started the long drive out to Massachusetts from Utah. I was grateful I didn't have to participate in the forty something hour long drive as I flew out a few days later.

A few days after getting to Springfield, our house was such a disaster with boxes and everything all over the place. We really needed to get out of the house and relax so we went to the temple. The Boston temple is so gorgeous and was definitely what we needed to take a break from unpacking.

After being in Massachusetts for a week, we had a spur of the moment opportunity to go visit family in North Carolina. So that's what we did! We spent a week in Charlotte relaxing and catching up. We really do feel so grateful with how much we have been able to see family lately. We feel totally spoiled and know that time with our loved ones is valuable and may not always be so frequent with how busy life gets sometimes. Here are some pictures of our week:

As soon as we got home, Peter has been in full on Law School mode. His official first day of school was August 26th. I am so proud of how hard Peter has been working. I'm even more happy because everyday he comes home from school talking about how much he loves it. We both feel so strongly that this is what Peter is meant to be doing. I know that these next few years are going to be so crazy but I know Peter's hard work will pay off and be worth it.
