...how do you measure, measure a year?On Sunday evening as we were driving back home after our Mexican vacation with the Juan familia, we realized that it was exactly one year to the day that we were pulled into Springfield for the first time.
It has really gone by really fast.
Seems like only yesterday we were driving around town looking for a smoke-free place to live and unload our belongings before 7 pm. We were both so excited--and nervous--to leave Provo and make our own place in the world. I would have to say that although we miss living close to so many family members and friends and we've had some challenges, we've been extremely blessed this past year and enjoy living closer to my parents and making lots of new friends here. Here's to another great year!
Our year in Springfield, by the numbers:
0--dishwashers in our apartment :(
1--number of bedrooms and bathrooms in our apartment and years of school left for Anthony(!)
2--jobs for Carrie--one good, one bad, and trips back to Utah
3--weeks it took to get our furniture delivered, and times we've had to leave our car overnight at the shop, and number of Wal-Marts within 10 minutes of our apartment
4--church callings total between us
5--overnight guests we have hosted (not all at once!)
324--our apartment number
417--our area code
These pictures were taken by my mom the day after we moved into our sweet place.BTW, we would love to up our overnight guest numbers...hint, hint.

Book me a spot. I want to get my name in early to avoid the mad rush of sprinfield visiting season. I'll be there for the entire month of october. Sound good?
i have never been an overnight guest. :(
Sounds like a memorable year! Your dad and Jill came and picked up those bins... hopefully you'll get your stuff. If not, you can't blame me!!
