Hello again!
















Wow, it has been so long since I've posted anything! Well, that is what happens when you move, you work, and you have to chase a little boy around! :) (The last thing I DON"T mind at all though!) Anyway, I thought I'd let you all in on what we have been up to.





First and foremost we moved...again. Actually, we already LOVE our new apartment. We really like the location and we have enjoyed our new ward. They have really impressed us and we only have gone twice. I guess it doesn't take much to impress us, comparing our old ward to our new one. So here is our little example of our old vs. new ward. DAve and I were a little stressed to move because we hardly had any help. Thanks to my dad he was able to bring his HUGE trailer and truck, and his muscles to help us move. Thanks to my step-mom Diane for watching Josh that Saturday we moved. But other than that, there was me, Dave and my Dad to move all of our stuff. Well, Dave and I both thought we could "hopefully" get our old ward to give us a hand (at least our home teachers:) to move our stuff out, and then we thought we could call our new ward to see if they could help us move into our new place. We made the calls, and we were just praying for help. (All you that we asked for help, THANK YOU for at least trying to come, honestly, we appreciate your willingness!) Anyway, saturday morning comes, and yes, it's just the three of us. About 20 minutes before we were all done (this is after about 1 1/2 hours of work), our old elder's quorum guy shows up and offers to help. It was nice, but honestly, all the hard stuff was done. Well literally as we were closing the trailer (because we were just about done), our "neighbors" came over and asked if they could help, looked over my shoulder and said, "boy, I came at the perfect time!" Yeah lady, everything is done! Anyway, as my dad and husband were driving to the new apartment, I had to go get Josh, because Diane had somewhere to go and so now there was just DAve and my dad, to haul everything up to our apartment! (Yes, we live on the second/top floor.) Well, I guess right as they started moving stuff, 4 guys showed up from our NEW ward to help unload. They got everything unloaded in 45 minutes! Dave and my dad said it was AWESOME! These guys were so willing to help, and then they said, "Boy you guys had this so organized, that was nothing!" (Thanks!:)) Anyway, needless to say we really enjoy the ward not only because of that but, everyone was so friendly and warm at church. I'm really excited to be here! And I KNOW that we were supposed to move for a reason. Anyway, here are some pics of our new place! (Don't mind some clutter...haven't quite gotten to the decorating part!)





Other than moving, I have been working a lot and Dave returned to school for 7 more weeks. I'm so excited for July, because Dave will be home for almost 2 months, oh yeah, and we get to go on a vacation to Cali!





Anyway, here are some random pics of our new place and of Josh being himself!
