A Bitter Sweet Day

Saturday was the last day of Zion Drug. We are merging with the new Walgreens in Hurricane. Zion drug was established in 1961, and it has been a standard for other pharmacies ever since. After 6 years of working for Zion Drug, I am aprehensive about the changes to come, but hopefully all will be well. The following pictures are of the employees cleaning up and preparing for the big move. I have been blessed to have fabulous co-workers and a wonderful boss, and I hope that will not change.

Christmas Is Coming!

I am so excited for Christmas to come this year! There is nothing like the holiday season to lift my spirits, and this year we'll have our new little baby to celebrate with us!

Under Construction

Well, so far, this is how far I've come in updating my blog template for Christmas. This is a lot harder than it looks, and so for now my blog looks a little strange!

Fun on the Beach!

We went on a trip to Puerto Rico recently! We had an amazing time chilling on the beach.
The huge delay in posting is due to the fact that the internet in our new house is extremely slow!

This is me on my very first plane ride!

We slept at the airport during our layover.

This is the resort where we stayed

Justin just can't resist joining in the picture!

Justin finally cracked open his coconut!

We went snorkeling on the island. It was

amazing! I even got stung by a jellyfish!

All in all, the trip was amazing. The water was beautiful, and the weather was perfect. It was a much needed break after all that moving, and it was our last big trip before Sophie arrives.

We Finally Got It!

All of our paperwork for our house has gone through! We will be closing before the 14th! We are very excited and feel very blessed to begin this new chapter in our lives!

Labor Day Weekend

Our labor day weekend was fantastic!
We spent friday with my family at Peach Days in Hurricane. Justin even got to talk to an old time black smith, so he enjoyed the occasion!
Monday we spent with Justin's family having a wonderful BBQ and water fight!
I didn't get too involved in the water fight after I saw all the guys were completely drenched!

The big water fight!

Justin was soaked, so he had some towels to help him dry.

(Mostly, I just think he likes to dress up.)
