Our new begining

For all of our friends in Calgary and Idaho and Utah.... I promised that I would start my blog again when we arrived in Texas... so here I am living up to that promise.

The internet in the apartment that we are staying in is extremely slow. I tried to load some photos, but I think that was a little too much for it to handle because it froze up on me. So I promise that I will add photos as soon as we get into our own place..... which will be in 10 days by the way (YES!!!!!!!).

We have already had many adventures in Houston. My mother-in-law flew with me to Houston and I am extremely grateful for her. I really don't think that I could have done it by myself (Final tally: 10 checked pieces of luggage, 4 carseat, 3 carry-ons, 5 children, and 2 adults). Thank you Charla!!!!!

Ben and I have had many blessings lately. We are very lucky to have such amazing friends and family. I don't know where to even start to thank everyone for the support that we have recieved. Thank you Calgary for taking such good care of Ben the last 6 weeks. Thank you mom and dad for being there to do everything that I was not there to do myself and to take care of Ben for me. Thank you to the Cranston ward for loving our family so much. Thank you to Charla and Dan for letting our 5 children and myself take over your house for 6 weeks. Thank you Andy, Kelly and girls for being our best friends and to Scott and Nicole and Lucy for playing with the kids and giving London a little cousin to learn to play with. I can say with 100% certainty that our Heavenly Father has had his hand in our lives, guiding my family, giving us strength when we thought that we had no more, for carrying us when we could go no further, for making us stronger through our triasl and triumphs. I will miss everyone that has touched my life over the last 7 years. We have learned that it is never good bye, just see you later. So I hope that I will see you all later (we will have plenty of room in our home for any passer-byers). I have told the kids that we are going on one big adventure hunt...so here is to many adventures and a new begining for our family. Thank you all.
