.On having family nearby

I was right when I said that we'd be spending a lot more time with Air's family now that they live about 20 minutes away!


I'm right a lot though, so that's no surprise :)


When I think about the past year that we've been living up here in Edmonton with no family nearby I can remember many many weekends of just Air and I hanging out alone. That was really fun and all, but it's also nice to be around other people now and then too!
People other than Air's single guy friends!
Luckily the fam moved up here just before I became a complete hermit! But it was a pretty close call!

This is the lovely view out our apartment window... Yep! It's a window well full of weeds...

We celebrated Tam's Birthday with them!

I guess the only birthday present they get in their family is getting thrown around?

We've been hanging out around their beautiful new home

Watching movies on their huge new tv

Air and the guys worked on the deck in the back yard

While us girls unpacked the garage

We got to play with the cousins and their cute little puppies!

Awwwww.....

We watched Sunday's General Conference with the whole family!

{As far as conference goes..... WOW! Is it just me or does conference get more and more powerful and motivating every time? My favorite was Elder Bednar's talk... I'll probably talk about that later}

And we've been eating some REALLY yummy meals prepared by these two lovely women:
Air's Mom, and her Mom (our Grandma for those mathematically challenged)

We've been having so much fun seeing them every weekend, and some weekdays too! Our family is so awesome, I love them to pieces!

Family. Isn't it about time?

that was a super cheesy joke
