We are now U-tards!

As we affectionaltely used to call the people of Utah when I was growing up, I am now one of them. After we got settled in the house we found out that something happened to our computer during the move, cause it was working before we left and now it doesn't (and YES, everything is plugged in properly, geeze, give me some credit people!!)

As we work to remedy this situation, please have patience. I have to use friends computers to update, so the posts won't come very frequently since I am alone with the kids all week and my freetime is LIMITED.

Surprisingly, being without Tyler for the week is easier that I thought it would be. There are times when I have....moments. But I am preparing myself, and that really seems to help.

This is a beautiful place to live. The people here are super nice, (don't know if that is a good or bad thing yet.....stay tuned:-) I have never been to keen on those "life is bowl of cherries" kinda people, cause it ain't. The weather is perfect, nothing over 87 so far, course it is the Fall season up there, well I think it is the fall, cause that 87% weather IS Fall in Las Vegas. Maybe Fall in Cedar is what Fall should be, 70% in my opinion. We are only a mile or two from Cedar mountain so we can hear the thunder from the storms over the mountain eventhough we don't get all that percipitation, it is cool to hear it.

Madison has a really nice teacher for first grade and this will be another thing to get used to. She barely has 20 kids in her class and the whole school is smaller than what I am used to. But I REALLY like that, I like the community cause I don't have to worry AS MUCH about Madison being out of my sight at school all day. I am still a very overprotective parent and always will be, it is just hard for me to trust people knowing where I just moved from. I know that bad things will happen anywhere in the world, including small towns, but I am not dropping my guard. It is just nice to know that I have a FEW more people in the neighborhood, who would help out in emergencies and not have to worry about who my kids are with.

Oh, one thing that bugs a bit is they ALL say, "Oh my heck!" I don't know why this surprises me but maybe just hearing it all the way through my first Home Enrichment Meeting has made it now a not-so-favorite saying here in Utah. I felt like saying, "What the crap!" while I told my stories at the table. That is my favorite saying, but I think I will let them ponder about their newest neighbor for a bit before I give them a good dose of what I am all about:-)

I hope this satisfies your curiosities about where we are and why I haven't blogged in a while.

Oh, and by the way, yesterday I turned 30.........fantastic! My mom had all 6 of us kids birthed before she turned 30. Sorry mom, you are better than I. We still want more kids, and it will now happen in my 30's....that's wierd to say:-)

Until next time.......
