Idaho State Fair

Everything has been going great here in Boise. Jase starts school on Monday and I FINALLY got a job at a charter school in Meridian. It is a great job and I already love the kids I work with. 

One of the highlights of our time here has been the Idaho State Fair. I was soooo excited to go to the fair, but because they charge admission, we had to be very picky about the days that we wanted to attend. We decided to go to the Rodney Atkins concert on Wednesday night. You didn't have to buy a ticket, but just stand in line to get in and arrive early enough to get a seat in the grandstand. We had so much fun! 

His big entrance! There were so many people down in the standing area. 

This was one of the songs he sang. I just loved it. Try to ignore my horrible singing in the background. 

This was our favorite. I just love this song.  I can just imagine Jase riding around with our future son and saying this about his daddy. :)

Even though we aint got money....

Well we are officially living in Boise, ID! It has been quite an experience thus far. We got here a week ago. Our days have been filled with job applications, getting lost on one-ways, too much t.v., and phone calls to our families. Jase's parents packed up a horse trailer with all that we own (which isn't much) and brought us down. They helped up pack everything up to our little one bedroom apartment, on the third floor! We were all so sweaty and exhausted by the end. We went to Cabelas with them and grabbed something to eat. After a word of prayer together and a few tearful hugs, they were on there way. After they left, Jase and I stood in our apartment with all that we own in the front room staring at the door. I immediately began sobbing realizing that this was it....we are on our own! Jase tried to console me and tell me that it was going to be so fun, and it was all about us, and we needed to enjoy every minute of it. But I realized at that moment that Jase Romrell was the only person that I knew in this big town full of people. It was terrifying to me. But even though we ain't got money, and we are unemployed, living on mac and cheese and sandwiches, I am so in love with my husband. I am so happy and I have faith that the Lord will help me find a job and everything will work out great! I am sure he is just trying to teach us a little patience. :) 

I decided I would put some pictures up of our apartment. We didn't decorate it too much since we will only be here until December, but I couldn't stan

d to not put anything up! 

This is our kitchen. You can't see much of it but this is the bar, a

nd to the left of it is our table. 

Here is the living room. There is also a love seat and recliner.

And our bedroom. I actually really love our bedroom. It is so much bigger then our old apartment.

We have had such a great week.....living the dream. :) We have been mooching off of our sets of parents for the last week and have thoroughly enjoyed it. We were in Star Valley for four nights and then went to Pegram for four more nights. It has been so nice not working, although it stresses me out to not have a paycheck coming in.  My parents took us to the temple in Idaho Falls while we were there. It was my first time going back since the wedding and it was really fun. It was so nice to see my family and walk around the Lincoln County Fair, as silly as that may sound. We went to the lake one day with Jase's family and although it was a little chilly, we had tons of fun. I have been thinking a lot today about how nice it is to have such great families. We are SO blessed. I have tried really hard to be brave and act tough about this moving to Boise deal, but I think today it really hit me that we will be in Boise without any of our family. I am sure it will be a great experience, but it will take some adjusting to. AND we are not that far away, and I am sure we will make the trip more than we think. It is nice to have our families so close to each other.
