I can finally blog again after not having internet, phone, or TV for a week and a half. Yikes! I hope I don't have to do that again. It reminded me how dependent we've become of the internet. Crazy. Anyway, now that I've got internet, I can finally check everyone else's blogs! Get ready to hear a whole lot of backlogged comments from me!
Well, we're all moved in and all unpacked! Just kidding; I wish we were all unpacked. My mom flew in last week and she was an amazing help! We got a ton unpacked and lots of stuff done, so now I just have the miscellaneous boxes of junk left that I don't feel like even opening, plus all the food storage. That'll probably take me awhile.
We are loving our new house! We've got a huge loft upstairs that all the toys are in and that's where I'm going to put my computer, craft stuff, coupon stuff, etc. in so I can do whatever while the kids play. I'm really excited about that. And it's really nice to have Jeromy home by 6pm every night, and he doesn't have to go to bed super early in order to get up super early to beat traffic. Yeah!!!
But alas, our ward isn't the same. We had such an exceptional ward in Provo, that I'm afraid it's hard to beat, or even match. The Primary consists of over 100 kids, so that's good, the girls will have a lot of friends. But the Relief Society only has about 20-25 women attending each week, and they didn't even introduce me the first week. I had to make that happen our second week. It's just strange. Hardly anybody has introduced themselves, so I kind of feel lost in the crowd (although our next-door neighbors have been really nice). Oh well, the church is true and they offer the sacrament and teach my children. What else do I need?
With that said, we miss all our friends like crazy!! Please come visit us if you can! I'm keeping my hairstylist and pediatrician in Provo because they're great and because then I'll have an excuse to go down and visit everyone. Love ya all!

We miss you! You know, our ward wasn't so cool until a couple women started to take initiative to make it cool. One of them, in my opinion, being Megan Bradshaw. she decided she was going to plan some activities for her girlfriends, and then she pretty much made each and every member of the RS her friends, adn thereby making all of them friends with each other. It has been such a huge example to me. The moral of this story is: make your ward what you want it to be. Megan has shown us that even as individuals, we have the power to make something wonderful happen with all of those around us; we have the power to start something big :)
I'm so glad that you are hooked up to the world again at last!! And that playroom/craft room sound FAB if you are going to be able to keep them from getting into your stuff, LOL! As far as your hair stylist, I must agree. I've decided that if Jamie ever moves out of state, I'm just going to have to have Justin find a job wherever she's going. Miss you!! Especially as we're starting to finally get to the park more often, passing by your empty house! Waaaaah!
Glad you're moved over at least. We'd love to see your new house sometime when you're feeling put together and up for visitors.
