We made it!

As I sit here to type I get so emotional and I don't know where to begin! The past five and half years of our lives together have just flown by, I remember the first day I pulled up to our house in Texas, I thought to myself that I will never make it here. After I gave up that thought and stopped fighting the fact that I was there to stay I really started to enjoy it and I had a real hard time to leave all the people behind that had became my family. I have already got phone calls from some of you and I really appericate that you are still thinking about us, I can tell you I haven't stopped thinking of you guys! Things have been crazy since we pulled into Idaho! The drive was okay, I had the stomach flu, not fun! The kids did great, the boys loved it when they got to drive in the "big truck " with grandpa. Chloe did okay in the car, thank heavens for portable dvd players! Our window broke again, so we had to redneck it and duct tape it ( I thought afterall we are going to live in Idaho, we will fit in!) Jeff has hit the ground running looking for a job, please keep saying your prayers for him! Kobe and Cooper started school on tuesday and they are loving it! Kobe informed us that he has already found a girlfriend! Cooper only goes half days so he catches the bus with Kobe at 8:00 am and is dropped back off to us at 11:30 the one nice thing is that the bus comes right to the house so we just have to stand at the end of the driveway, it is just still real cold in the morning ( this morning it was -1) The kids love the snow, we went and got them some boots and it just brought back childhood memories having to wear big ol boots to school so when go outside to play your feet won't get cold! There is not a preschool program here for Carter so he is home with me, lets just say once I kick this cold I caught we will be going to the Teacher Development store to find things to keep him busy! So all in all we are doing great and getting settled in. After Jeff gets a job we are going to make the next big step and buy a house! I can't wait! I will keep you posted and get pictures up soon!

No in return they need to all slowly move back. just kidden we want everyone back. Sorry I have not been myself since you have been here. Things have been crazy for me for about a month or so, but hopefully things will slow down and things will get back to normal. Love ya

It's been a couple weeks and I still look out the window at your old house..... I miss the boys yelling "hi Angie, hey Matt do you want to come spend the night?" I miss Chloe's gibberish, and I miss your freakin' awesome Tor-"tilla" soup!! You got away without giving up your recipe!! Sneaky sneaky Kim!! I miss you our dinner-movie dates! I miss you guys and I think about you all the time! I'm glad you all got there safely! Love you all! xoxo
