Some Changes

Over the past two weeks, Chris and I have really thought about our lives in Idaho Falls. Now that we've been here for a little bit I'll admit I enjoy the people I work with, our apartment, and our daily routines, but we aren't going to live here the rest of our lives. That is just a fact. With an interesting incident at Chris' work we really started to think about living in Idaho Falls. So our new plan is to move in with my mother in Salt Lake for the months of November and December and then move to Houston like planned in January. We will be saving money while we live rent free and the drive to Logan is shorter from Salt Lake than it is from Idaho Falls. My mom is very LDS and I'm afraid she'll push us too hard to go to church with her. I'm nervous that we might butt heads a little, but I'm also very excited to get some good visiting time in with her. Another interesting aspect is the role my brother will play into our experience. David honestly thought that I was too young to get married and he's living at home for the time being as well. I have never been extremely close with my brother, but I hope we'll be able to get some fun family time in while we all live together. Hopefully Chris and I will be able to help my mom around the house while we both work crappy seasonal holiday jobs (I'm going back to cashiering at Wal-mart). This will be the first Christmas in a few years that I'll be able to spend entirely with my family. The only thing that could make it better would be to have the Merkets in town... or to be able to visit California for Christmas. Oh and as a good daughter I'd also mention my Dad and sister Gila in Northern California... check it out I managed to mention them :)
