Family times

Since being back from the lake family time has been in full swing! Our nephew Wesley spent a week with his Nana and Papa and we got to join in some of that fun. We've been golfing, bowling, pickleballing and some other fun things to keep him entertained while he's been here in Cedar. Last weekend I worked all day Saturday so I was pretty beat when the rest of the Phillip's gang came. The Cash's were nice enough to drive Brad and Hayden down and Ali and Keegan drove all the way from Texas. So for the past week the house has been full of  family. It's been pretty fun for the most part. It gets a little difficult when it feels like all we do is try to entertain the young ones. But we've had some good times at pretty much every Cedar City business. I can tell Joe really loves having Brad around... they get along so well it cracks me up!
Joe and I have had some discussion on the prospect of moving out before the semester starts. We both have worked extremely hard this summer saving money and I feel like we are ready for this chapter in our life. Living with Joe's parents has been so amazing! They are so considerate and have let us live here rent free and even cook and pay for most of our food. It's been SOOOoo nice, but, it feels almost too easy. I feel like we are too dependent and to be honest that bothers me a little. And plus I would love to be close to campus this upcoming semester because of our one car situation with our school and work schedules. We are still considering our options and working out the numbers but we know that whatever happens we will make it work!
This past Thursday Joe and I went to the opening night of the Dark Night Rises. I got off work at 11:00pm and just walked across the street to meet up with my man who was waiting with a change of clothes and some cereal and milk for me to eat. He is such a thoughtful man. We walked in to a FULL theater with only the last row or the front two rows open. Luckily we found Kyle who managed to get us two extra seats near the middle. The movie was superb! I stayed awake the whole time... it was intense! It was unfortunate to wake up the next morning after a couple hours of sleep to find out there was a shooting during another premier in Colorado. It's shocking and horrific that someone could/would do something like that. It also slightly worries me for the future of our society... Will this continue? Will we be more cautious?
I've taken up a new hobby and have started scrapbooking! Mom somehow managed to buy a huge box of super cute scrapbook paper for cheaps and Joe let me buy a couple of necessary products too. I work on a page every once in a while and I am really starting to enjoy it :)
