Fun in Laramie

Image
By
The days before Riverton and after in Laramie were filled with fun. It's always a great time being with Kevin's parents and siblings. Here is what we were up to while we were in Laramie...
-----
Lunch with Dad Fox on Dickey's. DELICOUS. It's always fun getting to go to lunch with him when we come.
----- 
We went bowling with Robert and his friend, Emilee. Emilee and I dominated the first round and then the boys demolished us on the second. I'm horrible at bowling but it was still super fun...
Such a booger for not smiling.
 Every time we take a picture together there ends up being one like this because I always look up to check if he's smiling. Hahaha. :)
-----
Kevin worked on his truck over the weekend and I couldn't stop laughing when I saw Robert and him getting into the truck to try and change the oil filter. 
-----
Pretty sunset on the way to watch the boys play some volleyball with my favorite little (even though she's not so little anymore) Lizzie...
-----
More working on the truck...
-----
The amazing coat Kevin almost wore to the Wyoming vs. Boise State game. Oh how I love this man oh so much. :)
-----
I love watching the sky and the sweet clouds outside Mom and Dad Fox's house. Its always so pretty!
-----
University of Wyoming vs. Utah State football game. SO MUCH FUN! Thank you Mom and Dad Fox for taking us!...
There was a sweet older couple sitting in front of us and Mom Fox gave them a couple of our blankets so they could stay warm. The blankets kept falling off their shoulders so she used some clips she got on the way into the game to clip the blankets around them. SO FUNNY. Everyone around us was laughing and commenting. :) They were such a sweet couple and I loved getting to chat with them throughout the game. 
-----
This was technically in Riverton but Sunday the 6th Kevin, Lizzie and I went to visit the Hansen's just for the day. It was so fun to get to see Katherine, Justin and the kids again even if it was just for a few hours. :) 
The whole time I was in Riverton Brayden would say, "Yaya (their name for me) I miss Bubba (what they call Kevin)." When I went back to Laramie Brayden and Carlei stood on the porch and waved and yelled, "Tell Bubba we miss him!" When we got to Riverton on Sunday the kids were at church so Kevin hid under a blanket when they got there. As soon as Brayden walked inside he yelled, "WHERE'S BUBBA?!?!" Haha. Those kids were SO ready to see their Uncle Bubba. :) 
-----
Mom Fox got us tickets to go see Dr. Strange so we got to go on a little date to the movies Monday afternoon. 
-----
Lizzie went on her first date while we were there so I got to help her get ready and drop her off at her friends house for the date. :) I can't believe she's old enough to date! She was 6 the first time I met her and now she's dating, my mind just can't comprehend it! :) 
-----
The sunsets are always beautiful in Wyoming. 
-----
As I was putting our stuff together to head back to Iowa I couldn't believe how many things we brought with us to Wyoming! I'm scared to see how much stuff we travel with when we have kids. Haha. :)
-----
We got a later start Wednesday morning because Kevin couldn't find his wallet but we decided to just go ahead and start driving even though we'd get in late. The drive wasn't too bad and we got into Mason City at 11:40 Wednesday night. 
-----
It was a great trip to Wyoming and I'm so glad we were able to go visit and see everyone there!

Its always bittersweet leaving family. We loved our time with family in Wyoming and miss being closer to them but we were excited to get back to our Fox family and ward family here in Iowa. :)

I'm so grateful for all our wonderful family!

Fall time in the Burg

By
Our church building is right below the Rexburg Temple. A few weeks ago when we got out of church I looked up at the temple and saw all the gorgeous fall colors on the trees and bushes surrounding the temple. I told Kevin we HAD to go up and take pictures. We went home, changed and headed back up to the temple. We walked all around and I couldn't stop snapping picture after picture of the fall leaves! I decided that fall is my favorite season in Rexburg. It is just SO pretty. Our nice little Sunday stroll definitely helped remind of how blessed we all are to be on this amazing earth that was created for us!  Kevin pointed out this strange plant and was like, "Don't you want a picture of this?" Haha. So naturally I had to snap a quick picture. I love the temple! I am so grateful we live to close to it. Such a blessing!  I'm grateful for days and moments like this where I'm reminded how ble...

Fat Biking

By
Kevin didn't have class yesterday since it was a holiday and no one else on the maintenance crew was going to work so Kevin decided to take the day off as well. I decided to close my office for the day so we could spend some time together. (best decision EVER!) We had a REALLY fun active day. In the morning Kevin played basketball while I walked around the I-center track with my friend Janae. We were there for about an hour and a half so we both got some pretty good exercise. We lounged around for a couple hours after that and then around 2:30 we headed to go fat biking with a couple we've become really good friends with in our ward. I had seen the fat bikes at the ORC before but never thought I would ride one. They look like regular bikes except they have ginormous tires instead of little tires. The bikes are used to ride in the snow, sand, and anywhere else you want to but they make riding in snow a lot easier (and more fun). Here is a picture while we were waiting at...

Time for something new

By
The past few weeks have been interesting. I've been worrying more and felt overwhelmed about Kevin's schooling, finding jobs, being a burden to family, trying to decide where we really need to be right now, everything just felt like it was closing in on me. Kevin applied to a job at Best Buy and made it through the first and second interviews. We made the decision that if he didn't get the job we would move back to Laramie. Friday, December 16th, as we were driving an Elder down to Des Moines, we found out that Kevin did not get the job. In a moment that could have very well been so sad, discouraging and stressful all I felt was peace. My heart was so sad thinking about leaving Mason City but my shoulders and body felt like a weight had been lifted from them. I knew we needed to go to Laramie. So, we're moving to Laramie after Christmas! I've cried at least twice a day since Friday (I'm just a constant bawl baby these days!) My heart and mind are on a cons...
