DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.

Our little family had to book it back home because Daddy's summer vacation had ended and he needed to be back at work on the 13th. Dar and I got most of our stuff packed up and ready to go the night before and we were out of the beach house by 4:50am. Luckily the girls and I slept for the first couple hours of the drive, and Darwin was a trooper for driving the vast majority of the trip. I don't blame him though. Our new Pilot is pretty sweet and super fun to drive! :)
After a while we had to find things to keep the girls entertained during our 16 hour drive home. Money is always a game changer. Haha! It's amazing what one little dollar bill can do sometimes!
I stocked up on a few new items for their backpacks the day before, and they absolutely LOVED the Frozen ring pops I got for them (along with all the other little goodies they got too, of course).
Our goal was to be home by 9pm. We almost made it! About 50 miles north of our house, we got a flat tire driving through south Salt Lake. Of course it happened while I was driving. (I drove a total of 4.5 hours of our entire trip, and not only got a flat tire but our first huge rock chip in our windshield. Why couldn't it have happened while Darwin was driving? Seriously.) I'm pretty sure this was my first flat tire. Ever. At least that I can recall. I'm glad to have a husband who knows what he's doing. We pulled off the free way and by the time we stopped at the nearest gas station our tire was f-l-a-t!
My handsome hubby got the tire changed and the spare put on like it was nobody's business and we were back on the road headed home in no time.
I was honestly grateful that it happened so close to home and not when we still had hours of driving time left. That was certainly a blessing! When Darwin took our tire in to the dealership to get fixed a few days later, they found the blade to a pair of scissors in our tire! No wonder it went flat so quickly!
The girls were super troopers through the whole trip! Although the drive was long, I was glad that we did it during the day and not through the night this time. Darwin and I were both a little surprised we made it home in one piece the last time we vacationed to Yachats. Driving through the night was HARD! We pulled into our house around 9:40pm and we were all so grateful to be home! Vacations are always fun, but there's just something about coming home after being gone that I love too.
Thanks to everyone who made our vacation so great!
We love you all!
Until next time! :)
