St. G living

So if you read our adorable love story, last you heard we were living in SLC going to school, playing football at the U and working. Well, let me catch you up really fast. One day in SLC Parker and I were having just a "life" moment and knew that something was missing. We didn't know what, but we knew we needed a change in life. We were praying to receive an answer on what that change might be and well, two days late Dixie State called and offered Parker a full scholarship to come and play football! Heck yeah!! So that weekend we came down to visit and had the classic "ah haaa" moment and just knew this was it. So we told our family, packed our things and headed down south! 
We found an adorable two bedroom apartment down here and we are loving it. We moved into probably the best ward possible and immediately got called to be in the YM/YW presidency and could not be happier. St. G is just the perfect fit for us.
So here are a few pictures of our life down here so far. (I apologize, these are all from my phone and I don't have any of our apartment right now but I will post some.) 


So Dixie is growing like MAD and they are redoing basically the entire school because we are going to be a University by next year. This is the main new building and we were front and center when Elder Holland and President Uchtdorf came down to dedicate it. it was a pretty amazing experience. We met them both and they were surprisingly hilarious! haha
 So a lot of the wives got together and we had these jersey's made. We are missing a few of them unfortunately. (L to R Cardin, Steph, Kylie, me, Rachel)


 This is not a picture of bench warmers I promise. This was just after a touchdown I believe haha. (L to R Parker 24-corner/safety, Griff 7-Quarterback, Zack 2- receiver, Mitch 3- receiver. We are missing Rachel's hubby, Spencer 15, who also plays receiver)



 This is the newest member to the Cracroft family, little red (who replaced big red) and we love it! Thanks mom and dad for bringing it down to us!


This was at the Desert Hills football game with Jessis and Bre. Their little brother Ty is basically the star and runs that high school. Football is huge in this town and we love it!



So for those of you who don't know, Parker unfortunately tore his ACL and meniscus the second game of the season! Talk about a total bummer. So we took a little trip up to SLC to get surgery back in the beginning of October.

Pre-surgery!

































This was Parker post surgery.Oh my gosh he was hilarious! haha He was so out of it and it was so cute. He even asked the nurse to draw a smiley face on his foot!



So now we are finally back in St. G and Parker is in rehab and we are doing great! His knee is getting better quickly and we are so grateful! There is our life in the last couple months all summed up!
