Utah aka BEST PLACE ON EARTH!

So, you know when you don't really feel homesick or you forget you are homesick until you go home? Yes, well that is what happened when we went to Utah in the beginning of August! I miss it so much. I miss the people, the mountains, the air, the family and the friends. We went to Utah for a family reunion and a small little vacation.

We had a fun potluck with a few of my good friends from West Jordan and other places in the Salt Lake Valley. It is strange to think we are all married, and most have kids of their own. Man, we grow up fast. I remember freshman year of college when we were still getting used to each other and our "fungus"! What great memories, and what true friendships I made.


On Saturday, we had the Giles family reunion. What bittersweet feelings from that. Most of my extended family was in attendance. It was great to see everyone, we haven't all been together since my grandmother was alive. Sure we've seen each other at a few weddings, but there was something to say about the special reunion this summer. If I learned anything it is FAMILIES ARE FOREVER! And that is what it is all about. No wonder the church has such a strong spirit there. Love you all!

Okay, Okay...UPDATED!!!!




What's up everyone! Nothing happens to us and we don't have kids....which is why we rarely have anything to talk about! About a month ago, my work set out on the social networking and facebook venture so I created a profile and I must say...I'm getting caught up with everyone and loving it.
It seems that not only do people have a facebook page but they update their blog all the time too...where do you find the time? I guess that is what Sunday morning is for!

Anyway, we are alive and well. Logan is working for Blue Sky Pest Control still and is now working a lot in the hot phoenix sun. He has determined the best way to stay cool is to wear a floppy sun hat (no joke) and dip it in the pool or use a water hose to soak it. By the time he is finished servicing the house....his hat is dry and he has remained cool. Innovative or ridiculous! lol But that's what I love about him, he is always thinking outside the box and how to make a situation better.

As for me, I'm still working for Mark-Taylor Residential as the Executive Assistant. It is pretty stressful at times but I'm becoming an expert in so many things. Recently, I took on a bit of the Marketing department which has done nothing but opened my eyes to the big picture of business. WHY did I not take more business classes? I love working for a company who appreciates hard work and good people.

As far as Logan and I, we don't have any definite plans for anything major right now. We are still looking to buy a house by the end of the year, but we are not rushing the process by any means. Logan and I plan to go to northern Utah in August for a family reunion so we are looking forward to that! We hope to see you all very soon!

Love,

Jennie and Logan
