We are in our own place again and it feel marvelous!!!  Two years ago when we sold our home of twelve years, we somewhat reluctantly took a detour to my mom's house.  She needed someone to take care of it while she went on a mission to Bolivia.  We were the obvious choice, since we were selling anyway.  We grew to love our ward and neighbors there, but we were definitely ready to be in our own place again. 
We moved to Rigby!  We now have an acre lot for our boys to run wild on!  It is also connected to a cul-de-sac.  We love it!  The kids just all gather there and play for hours!  I can see them from the window and know they are safe!  We have great families around us, with great kids.  As it's getting warmer, our boys have loved being able to hop on their dirt bikes and ride around our yard. This is a video of Talmage learning how to ride the 110.

We love the house!  I wouldn't have done anything different if we had built ourselves!  The perk to finding one we already loved is that the yard is already in!  Yay!  The garage is big enough to double as a shop for Oliver.  We have already made lots of great memories working on projects together.  Oliver and I have been working to finish the basement.  He and the boys have spent several hours fixing up dirt bikes. 
We are also super excited because some of our good friends from our last neighborhood are buying the house next door to us!  We seriously feel so very blessed!  This would not be complete though if I didn't share a picture of one of my favorite things about our new home...the sunsets here are amazing!
