Breaking news: We MOVED! For those of you who have heard me gush about our new house, I apologize that this may get repetetive... WE LOVE IT!!!We are so surprisingly happy here in Orem, us Country Mice from da hills is loving dis big city life - well, the suburban life anyway. Funny how life alters your decisions when circumstances change - Austin & I swore we'd never move to the valley again if we could help it, convinced that life in Wallsburg was everything we wanted for our family... wow, things have changed. No more driving 30 minutes to get to the store, being stranded with no where to go (as I didn't have a car), no more hearing Ethan cry "Mommy, I need a friend!" (he has SEVEN friends now!), no more dark-basement living (though we will miss Mom & Dad). So although we will terribly miss our wide open beautiful little valley - which we will always call home, we are really loving it here.
Our house is a really cute (big 1200 sq ft) upper level 3 Bedroom, 1 bath, split level home. We have so much space, we don't know what to do with ourselves! Who knew that you could actually have empty cupboards in your kitchen because there wasn't stuff to put in it? We actually have a bathtub for the kids & room enough to play fun games & our Wii without injuring each other. I love the office where I can escape when things get too crazy.We live in the perfect location, as we are a block away from a huge park, library & shopping. Ethan will go to school just a few blocks away & Austin's work is only 3 miles down the road, so he has been riding his bike to work most days (chalk up 12 miles of bike riding for Austin each day!) I swear our car is going to petrify from non-use. We are walking everywhere now & loving it.
As you can tell, we are just giddy with our happiness. Moving has been the best thing for our family. Did I mention WE LOVE IT!!! So, here is your standing invitation: Come PLAY with us!!
