Recoup

After the intense July month, Dale and I have been really happy to have a bit of uneventful time before things change again.  This time has given us opportunity to expand our social circle in Salt Lake, and see who will brave the 40 mile move to maintain friendships.  So far, it's been awesome to see:

Ben and Elise Bowen
Duane and Elyse Bennett
Clancy Clawson
Sean and Emily Nowling
Laura and Dwane Phillips
Jeanelle and Corbin McCabe
Wendy and Steven Burton
Carissa Johnson
Scott and Bree Hunter

I know that may seem silly to count the friends you've had visiting, but it's a direct fall out from counting your blessings.  We just moved 7 weeks ago, and there have been lonely moments.  Not every couple in a new place has been this fortunate.

It was also special to have Nanette, Jeremy, Heather, John, and Liam just HAPPEN to be in Utah for independent events so we could share an afternoon together and eat lunch.  I really like my siblings.
