Home Sweet Dome

There's just something about your home state- am I right? Or maybe it's our Texas pride :)
I've been living in Idaho now for four years and after getting married to Eric, who was also attending college (I've graduated) in Idaho, I figured we would be living there another 4 years! But plans can always change!

I explained in this post that Eric and I went to Texas for six weeks and helped his family
get ready to move and drive to St. George. Those six weeks were so fun.

After living out of our suitcases we are finally settling down for the rest of the summer... back in Texas!
After Eric had been working on the ranch the idea was presented to us to live on the
ranch (rent free) where Eric would continue working and I would look for a nursing job.

Honestly, when I dwell on thinking about living in Idaho when 98% of our family is in Texas, it makes us feel "stuck" and homesick. We have loved living in Idaho the first year of our marriage, but this is a very welcoming change for the next 3 months. I never thought we would have the opportunity to live on the ranch, but now it's definitely weird that we'll be living there and his family won't be there with us! Good thing my Mom lives here and so does Eric's brother with his sweet family!

The funnest part... We live in a Dome!

I would be surprised if you've seen these before haha! It is deceiving on the outside and actually has a lot of room! I can't wait to post pictures of the inside soon. It has two bedrooms, complete kitchen, w/d, a/c (a must in Texas heat) and 1.5 bath... with weird ceilings to get used to. I am super excited to have this be our own place and not live in an apartment complex surrounded by so many neighbors! Over the past six weeks Eric and I have both discussed how much we miss our little home in Rexburg, we will be returning to it in September and until then I'm excited to make our home here.
