We miss our beautiful state, now that Alicia, myself, and the yellow school bus have officially been made citizens of Idaho we miss you even more! Now will throw in three benefits and so far the only ones that make sense to me:
1. Our car registration went from $140 to $70
2. Auto Insurance went from $945 every six months to a shocking $253 for six months (Our six months issuance here is almost one months payment back in California.
3. Lastly an All Season sporting license out of State $150 per yr. now $25 per yr.
Were some might think that surrendering one's license might now be worth it, for us it was. Two weekends ago we went back to Claremont for a weekend at home and is was totally awesome. My Mom and Dad flew us out for Alicia's late birthday present. We were so excited to get to go back home even if it was for just for 5 days. We loved visiting our family and most importantly we were so grateful for how much excitement and support we received from our family. They dropped all their plans, gave us the all the attention, and really made us thankful to be part of the Forester clan. We were also excited to see Alicia's mom Barbara and all of her
nieces and nephews (Amanda's kiddos) because they were down for a baptism in Glendora. (Casey Johnson's wife Brianna) We were totally stoked to feel all that love that weekend and when we came back to our apartment in Rexburg felt a deep longing to be back there. Here are
some of the pictures we manage to take:
I was so excited to see my little girlies! They are so big now :(
My Mom and Helena who looks just like my mom when she was a little girl. (Rachel's)
All of my Mom's Cousin Aunt Sharon (we love her!) It was so fun hanging out with everyone!
Goofy picture of my cousins.
very morning I let Alicia sleep in and I took Lila on a trip. This morning we drove up to Mt. Baldy and man it was gorgeous.
The look over the valley was breath taking.
My absolute favorite house in Claremont.
The only house Alicia and I agree that we would buy in a heart beat. Every time we would pass it Alicia would say, "Do you think if I ask them nicely that they would sell it to us for $100?" The white house at the corner of 12th street and Indian Hill Blvd. Awesome House!
Lila at the end of our morning adventure. She loved the drive to Baldy and kept talking to the tree's it was so cute. She also loved this car seat in comparison to her one at home.
Lila and Lucy loved their bath time together, it was so cute watching these girls play in the tub.
Lila loves her uncle Brad. We really miss him.

Sorry we didn't have more time to hang out. Next trip, we'll do our best to have less going on. I can't really imagine having more going on. So I think it's a pretty safe bet.
By the way that house you like sold for nearly a million dollars in 2006, but now Zillow shows its worth dropped to right around $650k. So save your pennies.
Will do Matt. Although i don't think I will ever talk Alicia out of wanting to buy it for anything less than $100. Hope to see you in two weeks.
