Where has the time gone? There was so much anticipation when we were waiting to move and I kept thinking, soon you'll be there and you'll be looking back as time has flown by. It's amazing that as you are looking forward to something, time seems to drag. But once you are in a place with no changes on the horizon, time seems to speed on by. I can't believe we've been here for this long and yet it seems so long ago that we were in Price. We are loving it here (more me than Scott). Scott likes it but would rather be in a small town. I am the exact opposite. I'm so content and happy here. I enjoy the variety of entertainment, the variety of restaurants, the variety and diversity of people, and I love that I can go to any kind of doctor and it's no more than a 20 minute drive. I love my job, I love our ward, I love my calling, and I love this place we call home. I'm less homesick than I anticipated, I think mainly because we are so busy. I didn't think we could be busier than we were in Price (with all the involvement we had with the theater), but it didn't take long for us to be busier.
Scott and I are really enjoying our callings. We love being able to develop relationships with those that we are serving with and those we are serving. Each time I move wards I'm amazed at how each ward is just what we need at that time.
Here are some of the things we've done the past 6 months:
- Moved everything we own 595 miles
- Started a new job position (me), started a new job (Scott)
- One surgery
- One bout of kidney stones
- Trunk or treat in short sleeves and flip-flops
- A Thanksgiving that wasn't homeade
- A Christmas with no jacket needed
- 4 bad doggy haircuts
- Steph's parents came to visit after Christmas
- Scott's parents and brother came to visit in January
- One dead scorpion sighting at work, haven't seen a live one yet
- Several explorations of the valley
- Two business trips to SLC
- Two Vitamin D deficient adults
- Countless mornings woken before 7am by the construction across the street
- Numerous new friends
- Endless memories
What a fun 6 months it has been! I'm so excited for more adventures here.
