We Made It!

I thought I would update everyone on where we are and what we're doing.  We made it to Mt. Pleasant and unloaded the last of the horse trailer yesterday.  We borrowed the truck and trailer from his dad and brother in Cedar City so Jason will be taking those back to Cedar tomorrow.   He is going in a little different route because he is meeting our brother-in-law, Dale, in Panguitch to help him haul hay.  He is going to have quite a day because that morning at 9:30 he has an interview in Price, UT.  He has a phone interview this morning.  Something will work out.  We'll end up where we're supposed to be.  

As for me, I'm loving being in this beautiful valley with my family close.  I am going to start officiating High School Volleyball games up here next week.  Aubree had her first day of Kindergarten at her new school.  She did great and said that her teacher was nice.  Her teacher, Mrs. Briggs, lives just up the street and is in the Primary Presidency in our ward.  That will help out that transition too.  Alexa started preschool yesterday.  I was able to get her in with Mrs. King.  Her cousin Cambree is in there and Alexa LOVED it.  I signed both of the girl's up for gymnastics.  They start that next week.  I decided that we needed to jump in with both feet if we were going to make this normal for the kids.  I'm glad that we're doing that.  It might last a couple of weeks or months, but we'll enjoy our time here.  

I wanted to tell all of our friends in Las Vegas that we love them and we'll keep in touch.  We had 9 sisters show up to help clean my house the morning before we left.  We cleaned it in 2 hours.  I felt so blessed!!!!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all who helped in one way or another.  I love all of you so much!!!!  I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it on my dad's mac.

By the way, it's my favorite time of year up here.  It's crisp in the morning and night (40 degrees) and warm in the afternoon.  I get to wear a jacket!  I love all of those things, but my most favorite is seeing the beautiful mountain surrounding me covered in golden yellow, bright red, and green!  It makes me feel closer to Heavenly Father when I am so close to the beauty He created.  Wow, I feel blessed.

WOW! All of that did happen fast! So you are in Mt. Pleasant until something else happens? What brought all of this on again? I'm so happy that you are back home and around family! Good luck with EVERYTHING!

Yeah! I'm so glad that things are going okay. I hope that the job hunt won't take too long. I'm really hoping that something will open up here in Richfield so you guys could be closer, but we'll see...Good luck with everything and keep us posted.

I knew you would be moving soon. I'm glad everything went well, and I'm sure you'll love being near your family for a while. Change is always hard, but it sounds like your girls are doing great. If you come to Cedar any time soon give us a call.

I'm glad you guys made it and that the girls are adjusting well! Nicholas keeps asking for Erick. He's too young to understand the moving thing! I do have to say I'm jealous you get to enjoy a beautiful fall!

I miss you so much! I've only dialed your old number once so far - I cried when I got the disconnected signal.

Our prayers (and hearts) are with you!
