So I am a month behind posting this, but moving and working basically comsumes your life for a while.

After a whirlwind of a summer we thought that everything was going to settle down and life would be normal. Not so much...

After coming home from California our landlords called us and told us that they are wanting to put the house up for sale. We panicked a little. We weren't really saving up to move. We just splerged on an awesome summer. We were a little worried. After talking to my dad, who was a realtor, and Tyler's dad, who is a mortgage officer, we decided that it would be an ideal time to move. With intrest rates low, house prices low, and it being a buyers market we took the plunge and looked for a house to buy. To say we were scared/nervous would be an understatement. We had many long talks for weeks. Many prayers were said. But we found a wonderful house that we can grow into, and hopefully live in for a long time.

With both of us growing up in Clinton (Utah and Washington) it just felt right to go back. I always shared stories with Tyler about how awesome Clinton is. They have a ferry we have the train. They have a Dairy Queen. We have a Walmart with a strip mall - lots of shopping and eating. Clinton, UT wins. :)

Our basement is unfinished, but it is framed and wired, which helps us A LOT. I am excited to personalize our home a little more in the next few years. It is still crazy to think that we OWN a home. Life goes by so fast!

Enjoy the pics, come and visit too! :)

Oh, how I love my family. I was so excited to have my grandma visit from Brazil. The last time I saw her was when I got married 3 years ago. I couldn't wait to see her again! Now that she is here it was a reason to update our family pictures. Since the last family picture session we added another little one to the family! It's so fun to get all the De Macedos back together for an afternoon.

After being home for 10 days we were off to California to visit the happiest place on earth. We just needed to make a pit stop in Vegas to say farewell to Phantom.

VEGAS:












HOLLYWOOD:
Going down the walk of fame street was fun, but being a tourist hot spot you sure do see a lot of freaky people. I feel bad for the people that live around there and deal with the weirdos constantly. :)









UNIVERSAL:
Thanks to my mom, we were able to get through all the rides in 90 minutes. Needless to say, we rode all the ride MULTIPLE times. Sadly I have to say "The Simpsons Ride" was one of my favorite. It truly hurts me to say that.







DISNEYLAND & CALIFORNIA ADVENTURES:
I felt like I was 8 and it was Christmas morning. The atmosphere alone is magical. The rides are wonderful and all in all it was a couple of  days I will never forget!
