New Home, New ward

We did it! We moved into our house on September 28, 2013. What a huge job. I can honestly say that I never intend on moving again! I thought we had gotten rid of a majority of the things we wouldn't need, but I still feel we have so much to do. It's coming along though. I think everything is turning out!

Here's a few pics of what it looked like when we moved in. We definitely have plenty of elbow room now. We went from 1800 sq ft. to 3300 sq ft!! It feels wonderful. All the kids have their own room, but Kate and Becca. With three bathrooms, we never see each other now!! The only thing left unfinished was the family room in the basement. We plan on finishing it, but not right now. It will be huge!!!

We have really enjoyed the neighborhood! Everyone has been kind and outgoing. Our subdivision is only about 30 homes. It is the perfect size!! The kids play all day outside with no fear of traffic. They have made good friends in the short amount of time we've been here. Behind us live the Anderson family. they have 4 kids. All of them are the age of one of my kids. It has been great getting to know them. When we moved in I found these cute little notes left by the Maxfield's and the Dowdell's little girls. So cute!!

 

Our ward has been awesome!! It just split because we had almost 700 members! We are in the new ward that was created. We now have 530 members. It is growing like crazy out here! Our first Sunday was today and I met a lot of nice women! I'm excited for this new adventure for my family!!
