Settling in...

Well, it's official we're now Idahoan's...again...!!! Today marks one weeks since our return, we miss our family in Oregon, but are happy to get settled in to our little house as a family, Carter and I have missed John terribly during our time apart. We're loving our little house in the country...and mostly everything that comes with it...spiders I can deal with...a few mice in the walls...whatever...but smelling a skunk all night into the morning, not so much lovin it...thankfully there's a good wind today keeping that air moving!!!

After apartment living, I feel like i've been let out of a cage...I can walk around in my underwear without having to worry about the shades, I can make as much noise as I want, whenever I want, I have a pantry so dishes and food don't have to share cupboards, I have an actual laundry room...no more folding clothes on the kitchen counter (yayayayayay!!!) I HAVE COUNTER SPACE..a walk through closet to the bathroom, TONS OF WINDOWS....it's so light and bright...and the best part is that every window in the house looks out to a field, the mountains, or an old lazy barn/corral that just oozes a kick back and relax feel!!! I have a yard(although it needs alot of work this spring!), space for a garden, TONS OF BIRDS that sing so sweetly every morning...cows lulling in the background, and horses to greet me when I pull up to the house....finally the inner me matches my surroundings...I might have grown up a little more on the city side, but i've definitely gone country!!!

We went to our new ward today in Acequia...I can already tell i'm going to love it!!! I felt like a celebrity, I don't think i've had so many people approach me and shake my hand in a 5 minute span of time ever...there's alot of really young families/couples, and just a good down home honest country folk feel, what more could a girl ask for??...we've even met a few gamers who're rearin for a good ticket to ride marathon!!!!

Other than everything...nothing much is new, it's nice to have a routine finally...John is loving his job, Carter's still not crawling BUT she is sleeping through the night like a champ, which makes our days together much more bearable!!! We have a new little niece that we love to cuddle up, little Brynlie is so much fun!!!
