home sweet home

well here we are.
moscow, idaho.
home sweet home?
eh. we shall see.

i do however love our new apartment.
we live on the north end of town. 
right as you come into moscow.
near a lot of houses and subdivisions. 
it seems to be the newer side of town.
i like that we are far enough from campus
and the wild partying college kids.


this is the biggest place we have lived in.
3 bedrooms. 2 bath rooms.
i love that parker has his own room.
and jared has an office,
where all his school stuff can explode in.

we have a nice patio and back yard, 
but havent played much back there.
its not fenced in and parker doesnt like 
to just sit back there and play.

and we have covered parking. 
that will be nice in the winter.
if the winters here are anything like winters in rexburg.

we decided to ditch the student married ward
and be real grown ups in a family ward.
it seems like a nice enough ward.
lots of people came up to us and introduced themselves.
and parker even stayed in nursery all by himself,
without crying. miracles people.

speaking of the little dude,
he's only slept through the night 3 times
since we've been here.
i think a big part has to due with it being a new place,
but he is also getting his eye teeth in.
his last ones! YAY!
he sure had a fun time playing with grandma allred last week 
while she was here. he misses her. 
mom just isnt as fun to play with. 
 
ive been a little down in the dumps though.
i miss rexburg.
i miss my friends.
i miss playgroup.
i miss having my sister around the corner.
 i miss having jared's parents just down the road.
i know we werent gonna be in rexburg forever though.
 and moscow really is a nice place.
we've done a lot of exploring and have found some fun parks to play at.
it's just different.

BUT.....
i especially miss the fact that carissa
had her baby 1 week after we left :(
but a big congratulations to her and kyle!
we cant wait to come meet him!

 OH! and to end this pitty party on a happier note,
a SUPER BIG congratulations to 
david and heather on their soon to be baby!
we cant wait to meet him/her next year!
(my vote is it's a girl!)

babies babies babies!
they seem to be everywhere these days!

your apartment looks cute! 3 bedrooms, you go girl! we have two now and i feel like we live in a mansion :) i know it isn't the same thing exactly but pepper started acting out when we moved... i'm sure its just the new environment because now that we've been here almost 2 months she has settled back to her sweet, obedient, not-peeing-in-the-house self. i'm sure parker will adjust quickly and you'll make new friends soon and might even love moscow as much or more than rexburg. (this has been my personal pep talk the last 2 months too!)

Oh man moving can be tough. Even when it's within the same state. Hang in there. You'll meet people soon enough and you're such a Bright bit of Sunshine that people are naturally drawn to you. You'll make friends soon enough.:) Hang in there and I hope you enjoy the family ward. :)

Eye teeth for Ashlyn has been the worst, she was awful for a while, totally not herself. He will get better, and you will all adjust, good luck!
