Another Friend Visits

 After we returned home on Sunday and unloaded the truck, we decided to relax for awhile. Curtis and I watched Relative Race. We are still behind on watching the last season, so we watched two episodes. Then since the sun was going down we decided to go on a walk. We found a new spot that has another beautiful view. Pictures just don't do it justice. Sometimes you just have to see it for yourself.

Curtis found out over the weekend that his mission president passed away. He spent some time reminiscing with many other people who had the same mission president and made plans to go down to the funeral, which is tomorrow. He thought about staying in Idaho so he could travel down to Utah for the funeral but we were already expecting our friends to come hang out with us in Kennewick, Matt and Chrystal Hayes and their family. We sat by them at church on Sunday in Nampa and the very next evening they came to our house for a BBQ and swimming in Kennewick. It was so great to have them here. Matt is from Kennewick and has been wanting to move back but is waiting for a position to open up for working here. For now, they make a yearly visit every summer. We have been looking forward to this visit ever since we moved!

Their whole family was in the pool. Jack wasn't feeling good and Garrett didn't want to swim.

The girls saw their friend, Elie, wrap her hair in a towel and wanted to do the same.

We have been friends with Matt and Chrystal since Charlotte and Elie were in nursery back in 37th ward and have attended several of their Harry Potter parties. We love them and love being their friends!

Curtis and I got our van dropped off at the dealership this morning (another thing we needed to come back for). We tried to tell the guy to check the fuses and transmission stuff but he still seems to think it's the battery and didn't really listen. Hopefully they figure it out. Curtis is leaving tonight after work to go back to Nampa and then on to Utah early tomorrow morning with another old companion who lives in Boise to go to the funeral of their mission president. It's at 11am Thursday morning in Bountiful. He should be back by Friday and then we are planning to do some serious work on our master bedroom. We need to get this done!
