Already August!?

I have been having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that it's already mid-August. It's crazy to think about. Another year already more than half over and I haven't posted anything since January. BOY have I been slacking!!!
Here is the rundown for the last 8.5 months (give or take):
Anthony turned 27 in March. He says he doesn't feel any older. lol He certainly acts like it. He also got officially hired on with NAPA Auto Parts in June and he loves his job. He is a delivery driver.
Alida turned 3 in July, though she keeps telling everyone she's 5. That's the true sign of a woman... lying about her age before she can even count!!! (just kidding, she can count to 17, minus 1 and 2. lol) We have been working on some homeschooling starter things with Alida. We work on colors, shapes, numbers, letters and we sing songs. She loves nursery and often times, she is the one that reminds us about church. She loves going!
I turned 26 at the end of July, though I don't feel 26. I find myself becoming nostalgic lately. I miss a lot of things and people.
We moved up to Salt Lake with the help of my sister, Michelle, and her wonderful husband Brian. After about 3 months living with them, we were finally able to move into our own apartment up here and have been here for about 6 months now. It's a great little 2 bedroom apartment in Salt Lake on Redwood Road. We live just south of the Salt Lake/Davis County border.
Alida and I like to go out swimming in the community pool a lot, though I must admit, we don't do it as much as I'd like to be.
Now we are looking at getting Anthony into school for his degree in... (I'm not gonna tell. It's a surprise).
One of my childhood friends is going to be coming up and staying with us for a while in a couple of days. That should prove interesting.
We are all in great health and we are enjoying our new surroundings, though I admit, I get homesick occasionally. I find that I miss the quietness of Spanish Fork. Salt Lake is a loud, busy place, but it's not bad.
I will be posting pictures of us taken just a week ago... so they are current. I hope you enjoy them!
I will be trying to keep up with my blog. I guess I had just pushed it out of my mind.
We love you all and hope that everyone is doing well!
