This is happening.

 

Carter baby #4 will be joining our family in September!!

 

We're so excited!

Moving

We've lived in Camas, WA (Vancouver) for over 18 months, and now it's time to say goodbye. Nate will be transferring with his company to take over the Spokane territory, so we are moving back to Liberty Lake. We are very, very excited about it. We've really missed Spokane and all of our friends and family. We can't wait to settle down there.

At the same time, it's always so hard to leave great friends and a great ward. We really have liked living here. It's such a beautiful area!! Moving is so hard. That's why I really hope this is our last big move.

We will move into a rental home on February 1st. I'm not sure how long we will be there though because we're currently looking at homes to build, and we're hoping to get that process going soon.

Now I get to pack and pack and pack. And clean. Yay!  :)

 

 

(All of this may sound familiar because we almost moved back about 9 months ago, but it didn't work out.)

Mexico Cruise

So... I hate to say it, but Nate and I just didn't enjoy our cruise at all. We did a 4 day cruise to Cozumel with Carnival Cruise Lines. I guess that wasn't the best choice. We didn't want to leave the girls for 7 days, so that limited our choice of cruise to just the shorter ones. Also, we had to go out of Galveston (we dropped the girls off at my parents' house in San Antonio area), so that also limited us. But I had heard how awesome cruises were, so I thought it would still be great.

I don't want to go on about all the things we didn't like about it, but I will just say we won't be doing a cruise again. I realize there are better cruise lines and better destinations, but we decided that we
 prefer to just fly to a destination and be free and on our own. Not surrounded by thousands of random people. It's just not my kind of vacation.

But here are a few pictures...

 

Thank you so much, Mom and Dad. The girls had a wonderful time with you!!
