Farewells and Fresh Beginnings

My husband and I decided we would both post today concerning what's been going on. So since Kevin's point of view is below, I'll try not to repeat what was already said!

First off, it is goodbye to the lovely Washington and hello to... uh... Provo. August was a fulfilling month for me and Kevin. I was called to be the Young Women's Instructor for that month, and I loved every lesson that I was able to teach! I think that by the time I actually became decent at giving lessons was the last week I was able to teach them. The last week, a girl actually came up to me and told me she didn't want me to leave. Can I just say... the Lord definitely knows what an individual needs to begin feeling good about themselves again.

Throughout the entire course of the summer, I have been struggling to come up with a name for my photography business. All I knew was that I wanted to include my baby boy's name in it somehow. Eden Garth was just too special to not be included. I had come up with "Tailoring Eden" and "Eden's Tailor", but none sat well with me. Finally last week, I concreted my name... I now run and operate "Eden & Me Photography", and I couldn't be happier. I even got my first little photo shoot as Eden & Me! Amber and Brett let me do a little photo shoot of their newest family member, Hannah Dawn. She endured my pictures well (: And now I'm happy to say, I've done my first infant photo shoot as well!

Anywho, we are back in Utah with mixed feelings but hopeful optimism. I'm a lucky girl this year, and I now get to enjoy the company of my kid sister, Savannah, here. I definitely have been enjoying classes, work, and freetime with her.

So, story time! First week of school and, of course, there's a big ol' football game. Kevin and his best friend, Jon, decided that they wanted front seats for the BYU vs. Texas game. So Kevin woke up at seven in the morning to go stand in line for it, leaving me and Savy to run the errands. Four o'clock rolls around, and I receive a text that reads, "We won't be able to hold the seats for much longer, the sooner you get down here the better". So we run down there. And just as we meet up with Kevin in his front seats, it downpours. Like, I mean DOWNPOUR. I thought I was in the shower or something. We ended up getting kicked out of our seats for lightning, running back to our seats, and, eventually, Jon went and grabbed trash bags for us. We became the Trash Bag Team, and it was great. We ended up watching a huge victory for BYU against a ranking team. It was glorious.

This weekend we have been redecorating our living room. We want to have a new feeling to our apartment, because last year was a hard one. So... here are the results thus far.

So far, so good.
