Idaho Reunion

LAST WEEK--- My family and I drove up to Idaho for the annual Edgington family reunion. It was such a treat for me to spend quality time with relatives as well as reconnect with each other. I especially loved spending an entire day at the cabin which is located in one of my favorite places ever--Tetonia, Idaho. It's one of those places where I can feel at peace with everything in life and not worry about what needs to be done!!! My dad's mom loved collecting wild flowers nearby the cabin and just enjoying the simplicity of nature all around--which to me is something I hold close to my heart. I especially having an escape where we are not only able to spend time with each other as a family, but getting to create so many memories I'll know will last forever (let alone into the eternities). 


We also got to spend the 24th of July holiday in the small town where my dad grew up. There were so many people who lined up the streets to watch this parade make it's way along the trail and if you must know all of us got way more candy than we could ever have. It was such a great event filled with a lot of smiles and laughs to share, especially seeing my niece and nephew get excited for things in the parade--- was really fun to watch!!! 


Minus everything else I could share about this, it felt incredibly good to travel somewhere else and just get away from the craziness in our world. One of the many things that I learned from my grandpa is that Idaho is simply like a little piece of heaven and there is absolutely no question about it. I am so grateful for their legacy of love that they left behind for all of us to share with others and knowing that they will forever be in our hearts is pretty special. 


Unofficial News (Life Updates)

I could seriously not be more nervous about this thirty minute meeting that I have tomorrow afternoon over google meet. I am definitely not as educated or informed about stuff as I should be and if you must know--- I am really hoping to make a good impression. I do not know as much about the waiting list as you would think (which I will admit is a little bit more complicated than I would have liked it to be, but all I can do is my best and hope for a good outcome.) I have definitely taken this a little close to heart-- with the intentions of not knowing if I am even the right person for what is going to take place!!! More about this later...
