We're slowly but surely unpacking all of the boxes and figuring out where things go. That's the easy (but annoying) part for me. I can organize and clean and put things away just fine (although, a few times, I've forgotten the oh-so-handy spot I put something in and had to open several drawers to find it). The hard part for me is what comes next—filling up the wall space with all of the art and knick knacks that we brought with us. Will our old stuff still work? Do we need to get new stuff? If so, what stuff? Luckily, I have people like A's cousin who actually think it's fun to decorate a house. I like the finished product, but I don't have an eye for that kind of thing. At all.
The kids are starting to walk to and from school now. They (meaning S) were nervous about not remembering where to go, but I walked with them several times and they're a lot more confident now. I love that we have these great bike trails that they can walk and ride their bike on. And I love the grassy area and playground that are behind my house. The kids have been playing there non-stop and it's awesome.
Since we're still in a state of semi-moved in, I'm not going to post any pictures just yet. Except for this one—it's the view from my bedroom window. I love it. I'm getting even more of a view of the park and lovely mountains in the distance since we don't have blinds yet (and won't for a week more). That's been fun, letting our new neighbors get a great introduction to us. But it is a beautiful view.
On Sunday, we go to our new ward for the first time. We've already had several neighbors introduce themselves and even bring over treats, but I'm still nervous. I feel like my kids probably did on the first day at their new school: Will they like us? Will anyone sit by me in Relief Society? Wish us luck!

The people across the green who have been watching the Tennille Show are going to be super excited to sit next to you at church. Lovely view. Happy unpacking!
What fun! Congrats nothing better than green spaces for kids to run in.

Look at that green green grass and majestic mountains in the view! Amazing!! I get excited to have a couple of trees behind our house just so I don't have to completely stare at the neighbors!!
