Strawberry REZ

 
 We had such a fun week at Strawberry. I decided if the lowest kingdom of heaven is here on earth and anything like our cabin on Strawberry Reservoir I'm totally content! Although I told this to my father in law and he said; "I would be too except you can procreate. I want to procreate for eternity!" FUNNY and true! It is so peaceful at the cabin and yet so dang FUN! We loved our company this trip with Aaron, Bri, Cija, Jaron, Jonathan, Carley and the kids! Every time we get away I realize how busy we fill our lives. I find so much joy in the simpleness of watching a movie, playing a game, reading a book, playing with my nieces and enjoying good food with the best people! I don't know why I fill my life so full but it is my new goal to take a moment every single day to enjoy some simplicity. Ben and I are so blessed! I'm so thankful to him and our parents for all of their hard work and dedication to our family in order to enjoy so many nice-eties!!
