Catch up

I feel like the last few months for most of us has just flown by, so like Lisa I am just going to have a little catch up blog to get things back to current times. Though I cant imagine how much more downtime I will have when I have Beckham compared to now...but I will do my best!

Zachs Birthday and Graduation:

Randomly I got to pet a baby ducky on Zachary's birthday

The fourth of July

Graduation: July 23, 2015
I am a college graduate. I always thought it would be pretty boring to have to graduate again, I mean who really enjoys graduation...? But when my full name, Lori Anne Barnes Pasche, was read ( I started school as Lori Anne Barnes and finished as Lori Barnes Pasche, so I though it only fair to give credit to my entire name) and I walked across the stage to get my diploma I was so excited and felt so accomplished. While it was just my Bachelors, I still put in many hours of studying for Kinesology, Anat & Phys among other hard classes, so as I walked closer to my diploma I felt more proud of myself.
So Congratulations to me =)

Finally, no more assignments!

Pack Up and Goodbye Out West:
The next few days were a complete blur as we had to completely pack up, clean and drive down to Utah to drop me off at the airport and so Mr. Roland and Zach could make the long drive back across the county.  But we made one last effort to enjoy the things out west before we left, one being Yellowstone.

Not the Ol' Faithful, but a very pretty hot spring

Zach enjoying watching the paint pots. There are more pictures, but they are currently on Mr. Roland's camera and Emilie's so Ill post them when I get them

Another thing I did was spend my last few hours in the sewing shop finishing up some last minute projects while I had easy access to industrial machines and every thread color imaginable

My work station

My project board

Julie was very sad to see us go, as I was her. I can honestly say that the two things I will miss the most about being in Rexburg is one working at the costume shop and two, Mrs. Julie. She is an amazing person, I mean how many bosses do you know will come over to your house and do your dirty laundry for you while you are terribly morning sick? I only know of one and that is just one of COUNTLESS things she has done and taught me. I will miss her.

She fed Zach and I dinner while we were packing up our own home.

  I wasn't really that sad to leave Rexburg, while I enjoyed my time there I guess I just felt like it was time to move on.

JAM packed

Poor Farley gets car sick

Leaving Utah:

So finally we get to Utah and wouldn't you know about 4 hours at our friends house I go in the garage to check on Farley and the dumb ol' cat has ran away, or so we thought. We all spent the next two hours looking for him as I drew closer and closer to tears, when finally it is too dark to look. I only hoped that he showed up again before we left at 5am the following morning.  Well the morning came and no Farley so we left him behind. I was so sad, he really was the best cat! I can't seem to get out of Utah with a cat: Milo died and Farley ran away so I am 0/2 so far. But anyways, so Zach and Roland head out and about 12 hours into their trip they get a call saying that Farley was in the garage fast asleep in a box...

Well Zach was too far away to go back and I was in the air so we left our beloved little fluffy friend behind. But we are so grateful because even though our friend HATES cats he kept Farley for an entire month and a half before they finally found him a good home this week with a nice family in their ward. So Farley has a new home with two new little girls to love him. 

It was a really hot night one night so this is where he chose to lay, I will miss him. He is a great cat!

Well I finally said goodbye to out west for who knows how long

Goodbye Utah

and landed in Baltimore. Originally I was only suppose to be in Baltimore for an hour but it ended up being 8 hours because of delays....

FINALLY on the plane....

Atlanta:

Reunited and in NJ:

Then after what felt like way too long Zach and I were reunited when I flew up to Philadelphia to see him.  I hate being away from him, so I was anxious to be reunited.

NJ Mini Golf, Mr. Roland won!

Birthday and Anniversary:

We were also able to celebrate both my birthday and our 2 year anniversary in NJ!

Beautiful diaper bag

My anniversary gift to Zach

Bracelets that he wears instead of a ring

A live lobster for dinner that night!!

I think it really freaked him out when he put his hands on it because he did not know what it was

I love him so much

So after a few weeks here we found out that the insurance was creating a lot of issues so after some thought we have officially decided to head back to Georgia to have this little baby.  While we are sad to leave NJ it will be good to have the baby somewhere where we can afford.

Passed my Glucose test...so that stuff was really gross to drink
