Our Journey

Well, we are no longer in Idaho.  We survived the three day drive to Missouri.  The trip here was not too bad.  The children had their moments, but heck so did I. :) The real fun happened once we got to our apartment. (sarcasm)  Upon move in we realized that there are two locations to our apartment complex and we are located in the far one that is not close to any of the amenities like the pool.  There was a leak behind the frig that had been pouring water out for two days and several other maintenance issues were neglected.  Needless to say, we have gotten to know the maintenance crew very well. We thought about shortening our contract to a month or three months, but Tucker was really having a hard time as is.  So for Tucker's best interest we are sticking it out here for at least a year.  My hope is to get onto a waiting list for another apartment and move in next July.  Enough with the negatives right?!

The good thing about here is that there are a lot of stores within 15 minutes of our home.  Heck, there are three super wal-marts within 15 minutes of our home.  In Idaho the nearest one was 30 minutes and here we have three within 15!  Tucker's school starts in two weeks and Aaron's in four.  So we are just chilling until life gets busy with school.  Heavenly Father gave us a tender mercy and blessed Aaron with a job...yes we moved here with no job.  He is working at Bed Bath and Beyond and gets a sweet discount.

The boys are handling our new home as well as can be expected.  They use to spend at least 3 hours a day outside and now it is maybe one.  The heat wave makes it almost impossible to enjoy the outdoors, but we are making good use of the pool. :)  It has also been nice to see my dad twice and mom once.  My boys sure were excited to see papa and his motorcycle again.  Its so nice to have family closer.  Now all we have to do is visit Aaron's parents at their new home in South Carolina.  I sure will miss them until the holidays.
