Well, we have officially been here for 1 week. It has been nice having family close and within an hour drive. A lot cheaper to travel to see everyone and it's not as chaotic. Our house is cute and quaint, but over whelmingly small...we were spoiled in Mesquite. Esau has just recently become more familiar with our new home and has started to open up a bit. We have met several families in our neighborhood, young couples with mostly boys for Esau to play with. Amazingly there is a grocery store, food co-op, and an awesome park...all within walking distance.
We met another couple that lives a few blocks away at a yard sale this past weekend. I have become more aggressive about meeting people, handing out our phone number to people who seemed like-minded. It has worked so far! It is a little bit different having a child, always looking for those families who may be similar in parenting styles, etc. We have missed our New Mexico home...feeling homesick since we left until about Sunday. It is a different climate, different people, but all positive.
We have already been able to enjoy having family closer by enjoying Mamms & Papps' house on the lake with a boat! We are movin' up in the world of relaxing! Esau is our little swimmer, who is in no way afraid of the water...or pretty much anything these days! He sure did love being in the boat and even kayaking with grandpa! Grandma also kept him safe from tubing when we rode on the boat!
Kacey, my fab sister-in-law will also be a big help since she goes to college here. We have been making plans to have a weekly dinner with her, maybe save her from the school food at least one day a week!
Our plans to have a yard sale are coming together, with a garage full of boxes, it is obvious that it's desperately needed. Hopefully it will be a success! Wish us luck!
