Welcome to Utah!

We picked Joseph up at the San Diego Airport on July 2nd and headed straight for i-15 north to Utah. We arrived in Spanish Fork at about 2 in the morning and then headed to church the next day early to participate in the blessing of Josh and Melissa's new baby girl. We didn't really have church clothes because they were in the storage unit, so we had to round up what we could. We sat at the back and the boys must have thought we were there to play basketball. That's how they acted. I have to admit, I'm sure it made it pretty confusing to them to be wearing their little shirts with basketballs and soccer balls. We are glad to be here, but I must admit, every few days I have a deep sense of missing Oceanside and our life there. It was a good life. We will build a good life here, but there are so many pieces to put together and since we really want to find the right spot, we're being picky. Sometimes maybe a little too picky. We have written up two offers on homes and I haven't felt total peace about either of them. Both would have been just fine houses, but one they skimped on some of the finishing touches and the other didn't have a big enough yard, and I didn't love the floorplan. It's amazing with every house we see that isn't the right one, I think it gets us closer to finding that one that will work for us, because we figure out what's important to us. We are happy to be here. The kids have been with cousins every single day since we've been here. It's been great fun! They did point out to me today that we need a new name for our blog. Yes, we do! Hmmm, I'll have to get thinking on that one.
