At Virginia . . .







We made it! We're physically here but mentally exhasuted. A drive across country with three little kids, and WAY too many bathroom breaks, and moving into a new house is bound to exhaust most poeple. We like our new house and our neighbors have been very nice. There are LOTS of little kids to play with all around us. Our ward is massive--there are four nurseries-- and we had three other new famlies move in the same week we did!



As usual, life has been chaotic. Trying to unpack and find an empty spot on the floor to set something down has been a challenge. Our kitchen is set-up and clean, after two weeks. I finally got the study set-up, which was quite a task since our computer died during the move and I had buy a new one and try to find all my old contacts and files--which are mostly gone now. Now all our random papers have a home so that helps the clutter. Now we can tackle a box a day, hopefully.



We had a decent trip out. We went to Winter Quarters and Nauvoo, which our older two kids really enjoyed (notice I just mention OLDER two :) ). They thougt it was fun and interesting to learn about pioneers and see where they walked. We also went to six flags. If you ask me, Lagoon is ten times better than six flags.
