We made it....

Yup, we did. We're here in our new home. All seems to be just fine. The house is really nice and we've met some really nice neighbors, but I really really miss our old neighborhood. I try not to think about it too much. I didn't realize how much I really loved our ward and friends, and now... we have no one. Well, time will tell I guess. Plus, this is short term and then we start all over again. Yikes. So I'll post a picture. The outside isn't that great, but the inside is really pretty. It's got a loft that we throw all the kids toys in, so we love that.

Liz is doing well in school. Her teacher told us she's one of the very advanced kids. She is a great reader! She's doing well making new friends. The first few days she kept saying she wanted to play with someone, so we walked around the neighborhood and found some kids. Our backyard opens up to more backyards and the first day we were here there were like 10 kids running around back there. There are 4trampolines and 4 playsets, so it's like a giant playground. It's good we moved in when it was still a little warm, 'cause now everyone is hiding out. It's been good though because Caroline and Liz have been playing together more and I like that.

Brian and I finally joined a gym. How's the Hawaii deal going you ask? Well, we're pretty much at square one. No gain, no loss. But we're motivated now! Hopefully it lasts until we reach our goal. It's hard working out with kids. We take them to the daycare there and work out, but part of me feels guilty. I know this is good for me, and for them, so I gotta just do it. I worry about the germs going around during winter, but we'll stock 'em up on vitamins!

Other than that, all's going well. I have some Halloween pics to join the rest, then a few random ones. Halloween was good. We made it to the ward party the night before we moved. Ended up loading the truck after the party. Thanks to the fam and friends who helped us. They got it all done super fast. Thanks to Mom, Dad and Caroline for getting it started. Halloween day was Mom's bday, so we went over there and trick-or-treated and had a little party. Fun to all be together. I had to throw one in of the Porter house because I love it!
