Welcome! Let's Take a Tour...

Well...we've been here a week!!!

Other than some  major homesickness...I think we're doing okay.  

Oh, and the homesickness is on my part.  Not Tim's.  

He doesn't miss any of you :)

So, after much anticipation...because I'm sure all of you have had nothing better to do all week than think of what my cute little house in Middlesboro, Kentucky looks like...here it is!  

Let's take a tour, shall we?

{Welcome}

Please, come in!  I've been expecting you :)

A few things I skipped taking pictures on because I didn't want to completely bore you with your tour...

1.  The laundry room.  It's just like every other laundry room...except it's soooo amazing, I didn't want to take a picture of it and make any of you jealous.  Hahaha :)

2.  Besides Emmy's bedroom...the HUGE closets in every bedroom as well as a closet under the stairs, a closet upstairs in the hall, and then another storage room upstairs that is HUGE.  We have plenty of space...it's awesome!

3.  The yard.  There's a LOT of bugs.  Big ones.  I avoid going outside if I can :)

4.  Jack's bed.  For some reason, I didn't get his bed in any of the angles of his room.  But, he does have one.  I promise.  Oh, and there is a set of bunk beds in his room....so if anyone ever wants to visit (hint, hint) we have PLENTY of beds. 

5.  Our back porch.  I just was to lazy to take a picture.  Sorry folks.  

The first few days were hard because everything was all a jumble and there were boxes and messes everywhere.  The kids were champs.  With all the chaos and confusion, they did so well and they've adjusted better than I could have ever expected.  Now that everything is finally put together, life is becoming more routine, and getting easier as we're getting back into our daily schedule.

I've cried every day.  I miss home.  I miss my mom and dad.  I miss my friends.  I miss the places that I'm familiar with.  I miss Utah.

But...I have felt nothing but comfort and peace since we've arrived.  I know we're here for a reason.  I know Heavenly Father needs us here, and I know that He has already sent people into our lives to help make this transition for our family easier, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.  

We miss you all!  Please keep us updated on any new things with you and your families.  

And for goodness sake...come and visit!  :)
