My first blog

Hi there!

Just thought I would update everyone on how my family & I are doing in Colorado. We have been here for about a month now. So far, we really like it. The house we are renting for now is in a great location. Not bad for doing it all over the internet. Well, not all Heidi did a drive by and took some outside pictures for us. We are really please with the kids we have on our block. Jacob & Megan have made friends rather quickly. It has been great.

Megan started school the week after we got here. She is still on year round. She really likes her teacher. It was a little rough for her at first. Having to start over with friends. She has some great friends in California. But things are looking up for her. We have had many talks about making friends and such, it has been great. She has about two and a half weeks left before she tracks off. She has already joined choir, which starts for her this Friday. That is about all going on with her.

Jacob will start school on August 13th, into Jr. High. Wow, that is still hard to believe. He will go tomorrow to check in and find out all of his classes. I think he is really going to like Jr. High. He already knows some kids from the school, so that is good. He has been doing good since we have been here. His attitude has improved. He has been helpful and everything. He is really growing up.

Ben is really liking his job. He is not stressed anymore. I am so glad God has brought him to this place. He really has had no complaints so far. He is in his third week there. The kids & I came and took him to lunch last week. The office is really nice. They have this huge kitchen with all kinds of food & drinks for everyone. Ben loves that. :~) He really seems happy. That makes all the difference in the world. I feel like I have my husband back. Yeah!

As for me, I am adjusting ok. It has been a little hard at times. I haven't really met anyone yet. I have signed up to help at both the kids schools, so that should help. I know in time I will make some new friends. I really do miss my family & all of my friends. I have some real awesome friendship in California. I know that I will always have. I do miss my daily talks with Janice & Michelle at work. We had some really fun times. I miss being able to go have coffee or lunch with my friends (Tawyna, Janice & Shawnie). I want ALL my friends to know that you are all very important to me and have touched my life more than you know. Each one of you have given me something that I will always cherish.

We started attending a new church, which can seems strange. The church is nice, and the kids really like it. That is a big bonus. I do miss sitting next to my parents in church. That is different. We were at New Life for 7 years. That is a long time. I miss seeing all the familiar faces. But God is good and we know He has plans for us here. We are excited to see what He has next for us.

Well, I should close this for now. I hope all is well with everyone. Know that I think of you all daily. Love & miss you all!
