IT'S SO GOOD TO BE HOME!

We have finally made it back to Utah and we couldn't be happier!  St. Louis was an experience that we're glad we had but that we don't want again!  I never thought I would be so happy to a place that I have hated for so long.  (UTAH.)

We're technically still homeless, but staying with some family friends and enjoying their company!  Joseph is back on the phones at Pinnacle Security and I am with Ayla all day.

Ayla and I are making a trip to Washington to visit family and we will get to be there for at least 2 weeks!  We're so excited to go home!  I can't wait to be with my family and be away from this heat.  Sadly Joseph isn't coming.  He has to keep working and get an apartment set up for us.  I will miss him a lot.  And Ayla has become SUCH a daddy's girl.  I feel terrible taking her from him for so long.  :(  It's so cute to watch her light up when he comes in the room and have her say: "HAAA DAAAA!"  Which means "hi dad!".  We'll have to Skype a lot and make lots of phone calls to dadaaddaadaaa.  :)

Some other exciting news:  Joseph's brother and sister-in-law had their baby!  His name is Benjamin Joseph Salazar and he's perfect!  Such a sweet little guy!  I'm glad that we got to come home early and see him when he was just a week old!

Here are a couple pictures from our ride home from St. Louis:
