Pre-Move

So between my graduation and when we moved not a whole lot happened. Collin posted about going to the Manti temple and his trip to NY for work. Pretty much the only other thing we did was go to Bear Lake one final time before moving. It was so much fun. One night Collin and I went on a walk on the beach and I kinda had a melt down. I started thinking about moving and missing all of our family back at home. Luckily I have a fantastic husband that took care of me when I was sad and reminded me that we can come home and visit and talk on the phone and skype and pretty much still keep in contact. We just won't be able to watch our nieces and nephews grow. We were at Bear Lake for a whole week along with Chet and Abby and their kids, and Rhees and Celeste. Collin's parents and Tiffy and Mike and their kids had to go home early. We also had no boat so that was a little disappointing, but not too bad. Chet and Abby brought up a canoe that we all had fun with. Collin and I even saw a otter/beaver/water-squirrel-type-thing when we were out on the canoe. We had so many laughs late at night playing games. We also FINALLY found us a place to live in Iowa while we were up there. It was kinda stressful at first, but it all worked out thankfully. We also celebrated my birthday.
As soon as we got back from Bear Lake I had a week to pack up our apartment before we had to be out. Thankfully I had TONS of help packing up. My mom, Katie, Abby, Tiffy, and Kaden all came to help me pack up. I had everything packed up Thursday and we weren't moving until Saturday. Saturday when we moved out we had some help from the ward and we had everything out of the apartment in less than 2 hours. We had a trailer we were borrowing from Collin's cousin to haul everything to Iowa. Collin and his brothers loaded everything into the trailer and it all sat in the trailer (including my piano) for a little over 2 weeks. We stayed with my in-laws until we moved.
Father's Day ended up working out great. My in-laws were out of town for Father's Day so we were able to spend the whole day with my Dad. Then the next day we did the Cragun Father's Day.
Life at the Cragun home was pretty fun. My in-laws were having a waterfall being built in their backyard so that was fun to watch. Playing games with the nieces and nephews was also fun. Collin and I watched Chet and Abby's kids so they could go to the temple. We also had a girls night making Pinterest food and crafts and then watched Gone with the Wind. We went and saw a bunch of people before leaving. The last week in Utah was so busy it went SO fast.



We could have stayed there forever!

We had to go to the Draper Temple before leaving

A very hard goodbye for me! My eyes are all red from crying.
