Goodbye Rexburg

After living in Rexburg, Idaho for 5 years the time came to say goodbye. I just wanted dedicate this post to the last 5 years and the memories I have had.


I have loved the jobs that I was able to get here: Babysitting, Gardening on a big Estate, Working as a CNA for a home health program, and my favorite waking up at 4 am to go bake at Great Harvest Bread with my husband. I loved the experiences that I got from all of those jobs.
Second of all I have met so many amazing people here from people I have worked with, my wonderful roommates, the people I have met in all of the my student wards,


Some of our best friends from Rexburg, Charlie, Whitney, and Allie Anderson

my teachers, my classmates, and of course the most important person I met in Rexburg,

my Husband. I love him so much and am grateful that we met 4 and a half years ago at an opening ward social that was on campus. And of course what comes with meeting your spouse is meeting their family.

I can't believe I have not always known this family. I love them so much and they are such a big part of my life. They have done so much for me and I am grateful for them. It has been so wonderful only living 30 minutes away from them.

I have been able to be in Rexburg for the announcment of the Rexburg Temple, the groundbreaking, the building process, the open house, and the dedication, and was there to attend this beautiful temple many times. I loved living so close to the temple. This temple will always be special to me.


I will always remember Rexburg because I was able to accomplish some of my biggest goals that I have had. Such as run a marathon



Graduate from college with my Bachelors degree

Get married in the temple



And become a Mom



I am grateful for the things that have happened in the past 5 years!

We miss you guys already. We loved it when you worked at the Great Harvest too, especially when you would bring some home for us! (Whenever we would get together we were hoping you would bring some again!) I wish we could have lived in Rexburg together longer, we miss it. Keeps us updated, and let us know when you will be visiting again. Have fun in Iowa, and maybe we will get to come visit sometime. We had so much fun with you guys, you are awesome friends, and we will miss you. Just remember to come back up to Idaho when you're done!
