goodbye utah....good ol' rexburg...hello oregon




Last weekend we packed up and moved from Orem to Oregon. It was hard to leave our great apartment, ward, and some really great friends....BUT...we are excited for this new chapter in our lives and to actually have a real job. We decided to make a quick venture through Rexburg on our way to Oregon to attend the temple open house. Rexburg is where it all began...we both went to school there, met there, and spent our first year married there. GOOD TIMES! It was really neat to take Maggie through such a special temple to us. The temple is beautiful, has a special spirit, and is going to add so much to that campus. We forgot how cold it gets there....one thing we don't miss so much! We arrived safely in Oregon on Saturday where Grandma and Grandpa Johnston, Aunt MayMay, and Johnson cousins met Lincoln for the first time.

Hey Johnston's! We found your blog through the Soderberg's - hope you don't mind. Congrats on the new baby! And congrats on the new job and new move. That is really exciting. I'm so jealous you got to go to Rexburg to see the temple. We could only go the first weekend and we were too late to get tickets and it just didn't work out. That's awesome you guys made it! Good luck with everything!

I'm so sad I didn't get to see you and the little ones before you left Utah! We'll have to see each other in Fallon.
