So everyone here is always saying how brutal the weather is right now... are you kidding me!!!!! This is amazing. It really feels like summer. Now that being said no one here will ever complain about the winters.... in fact they all say that we don;t really get a winter. They will tell you that they have about 6 months of summer 3 months of Fall and 3 months of Spring.... sounds pretty good huh?????
Our Real Estate agent informed us that when we start to llok for Halloween cosutmes to make sure to pay attention to how heavy the material is in the costume because the kids can get too hot in them..... ummm really????? I informed her that for the past 9 years I have been buying Halloween costumes 2 sizes too big so that I can fit snow suits under them :)
People are VERY aggressve drivers... If there is an inch between you and the person in front of you, someone will squeeze their way in....with no warning might I say. People either drive with their blinkers on continuously without switching lanes, or they don't use them at all The roads are very busy...very well planned out though. Right by where we are staying is a 9 level over pass (that would be 9 overpassess stack ontop of eachother). There are a lot of people going in a lot of different directions. Betty (my GPS) has become our families new best friend. Sundays are the best day to drive on the roads here because everyone is in church. I'm not joking. There is no one on the roads before 12. .Everyone goes to church on Sundays here!!!! We really are in Bible country. Every church that we pass have cars in the parking lots.... and the road are clear.
All in all, this move has been really good. Of course there are things that I miss (friends and family mainly), but we are really trying to embrace this and try to always look for the good in things. I can always find things to complain about... but that isn't going to do me our anyone else any good. So we are going with a glass half full out look and seeing where it is going to take us.
On another note....The kids start school tomorrow. They are nervous and excited (understandable). They are starting at a brand new school. We have told them that it is perfect timing because everyone in the school will be new. I know that they will make a whole bunch of new friends and have many amazing experiences. It will be a bitter sweet day for Ben and I tomorrow. Jackson starts kindergarten. There is no stagered entery and no half days. He will be gone from 820am-340pm Monday thru Friday and eating lunch in the cafeteria with everyone else...starting tomorrow. I am really going to miss the kids. I was so lucky to have them ome home for lunch last year and get a little snipit of their days mid day. It is going to be hard for me not to have them home. I have really enjoyed our time together this summer. I feel as though we have made some really great memories and formed some really great relationships. Good luck tomorrow Bailee, Lincoln and Jackson. Mommy and Daddy love you very much.
Wow, that sounds a lot like Arizona. The drivers here are nuts too! If you're not going at least 15 over the speed limit then you get tailed and when I say tailed, I mean if I tapped my breaks they would run into my bumper.
ReplyDeleteEveryone always seems to be in such a hurry. It makes we me miss the slower life in Idaho. Oh, and my GPS has become my best friend too! Unfortunately it is currently getting fixed since I think I fried it by leaving it in the hot car. I should be getting it back this week. I can't wait!
Tell Bailee, Lincoln & Jackson that we wish them luck and we know it will be a great week for them. If they have a tough day they are more than welcome to call Passion and Kindly since they were in the same boat just a few weeks ago. Good luck and hang in there . . . I know how it feels!
