Surrounded by Ocean = Surrounded by Mountains


My Grandpa took us for a drive to Brighton & there abouts. We stopped & while Jocelyn napped in the car with Grandpa & Grandma my Mom & I enjoyed the beauty of the Earth! It was such a nice day! Perfect weather. I had been raining that week and was nice and cool.











Do you see what I see? We barely saw this lively bunch in the brush... they are so beautiful!











What a natural...

































On the way home the rain began... once we arrived a full on thunder storm began!



Jocelyn loved it! She kept waiting for the thunder and lightening. This is her focased face. She'd point whenever she saw lightening. We also sang in the rain under an umbrella. It was a perfect day.

Well, this is all the pictures that have been on my computer. Now I need to go thru the ones that are still on my camera! Exciting news... we have a new-to-us vehicle that will wait for us in Fresno! We also only have 2 more days. So guess what I'll be doing these next few days?! Laundry & packing! And squeezing in a few good byes. My favorite thing. We have been so blessed to see all we have seen to visit with family & some friends. We have recieved so many hospitable acts. Prayers have been answered. This truely has been a successful 6 weeks. Derek has loved his internship and looks forward to potentially working with them as long as they have an opening in December/January. This is our final stretch. I will hate leaving behind what I must, but look forward to keeping precious friendships and memories! These 2.5 years have been AMAZING! Loves&hugs

Marriott Residence Inn Downtown Salt Lake City


The Grand Entrance


Who is that fine lookin man behind the counter?! DEREK! This is when we was working at the front desk. He has shadowed the Sales/ Marketing department, Housekeeping Manager, taken the night shift with the Auditor, Maintenence, Shutteled people to and from the airport & got the front desk done! He's really enjoyed his time there! He loves the people and the company. They have told him they hope to be able to hire him on after he graduates... there are going to be a lot of changes before then so it just depends where there are openings. They are opening a few new hotels... one in Rexburg and one in NEBRASKA! :> hahaha Wouldn't you wanna come visit?

The Lobby



Potentially where we may be after graduation...
