Day 29

Hey all!  So happy to be blogging away tonight!  Today was FULL of happy moments!  From beginning to end we did a lot and laughed a lot.  Don't you just love days like that?  Now as for being productive and me unpacking....well....not as much today, but hopefully tomorrow I will knock out my bathroom for sure!

This morning we were up and out the door with Joel, Connor, and Ginger in tow to the local park.  Ginger had THE best time running around and rolling in the dirt....dogs.  She was so happy and tired when we got back home she passed right out!  The boys and I took a break and had some lunch and then we went out for snow cones at a new place today, since the regular place in town seems to ALWAYS be closed lately, and got our same Tiger's Blood with Watermelon flavor (don't knock it till you've tried it!)  We headed over to the AMAZING park in town built for physically disabled kids and able bodied kiddos.  The boys had non stop fun playing and running around.  This park is SO big that each time we go, we discover a new thing!  Today it was tight rope walking and holding on to these ropes while climbing from post to post.  We left there sweaty and happy for sure!

We came home and Connor went down for a nap and Joel and I played some Candy Crush together.  He loves helping me play that game and gets down right annoyed when I don't do a move he suggests lol it cracks me up!

After naps and after David came home from work, we headed over to a party for new ward members.  We had THE best time getting to know new people in the ward and some people who have been in the ward a good long while.  The boys had a great time playing and making new friends.  I was able to talk to a lot of new people and make new friends, and David made a friend who is a physics teacher at a high school!  So exciting!  So we all had a lot of fun meeting new people and making plans for the future to get together.  I am so happy for David most of all.  In our old ward he was so busy working, going to school, helping ME, and other stuff that he didn't have a lot of time to make friends with others in the ward.  It really didn't help that our kid was the only one going to the elementary school on the other side of town either.  This time is different and we couldn't be happier!  It has been so great to jump right in and make friends and learn names and not be afraid if we forget people's names (because that is going to happen a lot in the next few months).  I am so grateful for our up and at it attitude and our desire to make friends out here.  Tonight was full of happy moments and friend making for our entire family and I feel so blessed for that!  I am so thankful for our home out here and I am so grateful for such happy wonderful people!  Well, time to head off the computer and start watching the season premier of Suits!  SO excited for that!  Have a great night y'all!
