Idaho[me]

I made a trip back to Idaho after only 3 1/2 weeks of being in California. There was some things that I forgot when we moved that I absolutely needed and some things that were replaceable but since I was heading up I would get them anyway. My parents could have technically mailed everything to me, but I thought it was a good excuse to visit.

Our house is still for sale (Crossing our fingers that SOMEONE will want to buy it. A mortgage and rent really adds up!) I went and checked on the house while we were there to make sure everything was okay and grabbed my stuff. I forgot a BIG package of toilet paper in the linen closet and all my cookie sheets and cooling racks that were really expensive.

The boys headed up with me and Lyndon stayed back and worked. We left Monday morning and followed Lyndon's family up (they came for a visit for the holiday weekend). It is a 10 hour drive. The boys did amazing. We got to Idaho at 8:30 PM and my whole family (All 16-20 of them) were there to see us.

Most of the week we just hung around my parents house, went to lunch with some family and I was able to get some things done that I needed to get done. On Friday, we went to the homecoming parade and football game. My family tailgated at the game and had a baked potato bar. On Saturday morning, my parents had everyone at their house for breakfast and then all the grandkids went fishing with my dad. Alden caught his very first fish!

Sunday we went to church and they had "Roundup Sunday" which brings everyone back to church after the summer. My mom put on a spaghetti dinner after church.

Monday, we headed back to California and made it home late afternoon.

The crazy thing about this trip was I was so afraid I would get there and not want to come back. It was the total opposite. Even after only 3 weeks of living in Willows, I already feel like it is home. About 3 days into our trip, I was ready to come home. I am still learning the town and meeting people, but I am enjoying this new adventure. Don't get me wrong, I miss Weiser and my family like crazy every day, but I think I will do okay in this new place.
