Getting Settled

I know that you are all dying to see pictures of our house, but we have been busy getting it all put together. We finally just got our wireless internet installed today, so that is why I haven't been on our blog in awhile. As soon as everything is hung on the walls and it is all cleaned up I will take pictures of the inside. Pretty much everything is unpacked and put away! Ethan is liking his new school and has already made friends. He is lucky to have two boys from our ward in his school class, so that is nice! We love our house and are getting use to so much space and lots of stairs. We are enjoying Visalia so far. We feel like we are out in the country here! Ethan keeps saying "mom it looks like we live on the farm huh?" It is actually kindof pretty, I really like seeing green fields for as far as you can see! We ventured out to Fresno last week to see what the mall was like. It is a decent mall with all the stores I like, so that is good. The drive there takes about 40 minutes and is farm land all the way. We went and visited Dave's work in Hanford. Which is a nearby town about 20 minutes west of here. And yet again farmland the whole drive there! We met the girls he works with and saw his office. Our ward seems like a good one, it's hard to tell for sure yet, since I have only been once. Alot of kids though, so that is a good thing. It is such a smaller town than I am used to, so that will take some getting used to. I am anxious to enjoy all the produce and nuts that come from all the orchards around here! This will definitely be a new adventure for us and I hope it is a good one!

I'm glad you're getting settled in! I'm sure you're glad to be together (finally) and in your new home! I hope things continue to get better for you living there, and for Ethan as he adjusts to a new school!

I am really glad you guys have been able to get settled. It sounds like your new house is so nice. I'd love to see pictures.

We are counting down the days until we are done. Doug finishes in July. The only problem is we don't know where we are going yet. We are thinking about Denver area but not set on that. Doug is going to fly out there next month and talk with a few doctors. This part is so hard. I thought we would just know but it's not clear yet. I know will figure it out but man I wish I knew already! :)
