Yes, it's true we've survived the move. Finally life has settled down, well as settled as it's going to get. Jays just started school, and he's putting crazy numbers of hours into studying. I've also decided to do school as well. Who knows maybe I'm nuts, but it's important to me that I finish. I've always wanted to be a Mother, but I want to be an educated Mom. That way I can do my best.
Lately I've been reminded that no matter where we go, we'll always have the gospel there. Moving was hard, but we had church to help us through. I've always looked forward meeting and making friends, but now I've realized what a great resource it is for developing friendships. I knew that Heavenly Father would and continuely look out for us, and I'm so grateful for that. Moving was the hardest for me when I'd hear my son say things, " I miss Utah & gampa & gama and my freinds." "I don't want to make NEW friends." Once reality set in, and he knew that we couldn't drive 5 minutes to see friends and family anymore.. He's such a cute little guy and he bounced back so quickly, before I knew it he was approaching other kids at McDonalds play ground and at parks. He was making friends where ever he went.. I'm so grateful that he's outgoing.. Even though life is easier now, I still miss family & friends tons !!!
XOXOXO

I'm so glad you're all settled in. Kids are resilient - but they also don't forget. I still catch mine trying to "sail to Utah". Thank heavens for the church though! Home is definitely where your honey is, but it's nice to have a network of helpers when you're the Mom!!!
