The Winds of Change

Wow...I don't even know where to begin. For starters...we're moving! Well, we've moved. Peter got a job up at the ranch owned by BYU-Idaho called Badger Creek as the Asst. Supervisor (or something like that). We are so excited to start a new adventure! Technically, we're not all moved in because Peter headed back to Utah to finish up his last few days with his internship at ScenicView.

This is definitely a bittersweet change. We are going to miss the Bensons. It was such a wonderful experience and blessing to live with them these last few months. It's so wonderful to have strengthened those relationships. We are REALLY going to miss our friends the Andersons. Molly became like a sister to me and their little girl, Emyli, and Livy became wonderful friends. Livy still asks if she can go see "Ennee" =) and it tugs at my heart each time. They have been such great friends and examples to us and I am so blessed to have them be a part of my "extended family". Definitely an eternal friendship there. ScenicView has been such an incredible blessing for our family, especially Peter. The people there (both staff and students) welcomed us with open arms and I know Peter's mentor/supervisor, Ryan, has also become one of Peter's great friends and I know we'll be staying in touch with him and his cute little family.

On the up side...this is the view we have just a short walk from our new CABIN!! That's right baby....our own friggin' cabin!

How gorgeous is this? The ranch is just outside Driggs, Idaho and so we are so close to the Tetons. Seriously, the view takes my breath away. Peter will be helping with maintaining the grounds/facility and helping with the groups that come up for the many fun, exhilarating, self-discovering, growing, experiences. Here are a couple of pictures of what YOU can do when you come visit us. =)

Rope's Course: The Jungle Gym

The Powerpole Jump. So fun!

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of our cabin as of yet, but I will post it ASAP cause it is the most adorable little place and I am so excited to put our own touches on it.

For those of you who would love a fun-filled getaway, come stay with us! (We even have a guest bedroom!) There are so many fun things to do! Even when the snow comes flying...did I mention the AMAZING sled hill with a tow rope! Every kid's (and kid-at-heart's) dream come true! There's cross country skiing, snow shoeing, and we're just a little ways from Targhee so we'll take weary skiers/snowboarders anytime and anyone else wanting to come visit the great outdoors.

Peter officially starts his new job tomorrow! So excited for him, not to mention the fact that he'll be back by my side. I miss him somethin' fierce when he's away. I am so dependent on his incredible strength and calming influence. He is such an amazing man and I am so blessed to have him with me for the rest of eternity because in my own opinion, even that isn't going to be nearly long enough. He is definitely my better half and makes me want to become the best that I can each and every day. Peter is the best dad in the world! Seriously. The girls love him so much and he loves them even more. I am the luckiest girl in the world! LIFE IS GOOD!!
