And here we are..

Don't be fooled by the smile on my face--I was totally faking it. :) jk
Well we survived (surprisingly) another move. It was a lot of work and we are so grateful for Matthew, Charlene, Joel & Sarah for helping us pack & clean. We're staying in my dad's basement for a couple weeks until our rental is ready. We're loving our time with family and looking forward to some fun things coming up. Stetson is starting swimming lessons next Monday and I'm way excited. I hope Stetson loves it as much as I think he will--he loves the water but that many kids could send anyone over the edge. :) I'm anxious for him to have some interaction with other kids his age and begin a lifelong love of the water like like his mom's.
Who wants a Stetson hat?? I'd buy one if it came with a little boy this cute...
Stetson LOVES to hold his baby sister lately. Its so cute
Here's Michael, Stetson & Jacob watcing Daniel climb the powerline
That's Michael's brother, Daniel up on that powerline...he wants to be a lineman when he "grows up"
And guess who turns 4 months today??

I should be cleaning

This Michael & Stetson like the day after we moved here. Look at my baby!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe its almost been 2 years since we moved our little family to Laramie.
Here are some exciting milestones that took place in the little college town we called home.

*Stetson took his first steps
*Stetson celebrated his first birthday
*I was primary choirister
*I was certifed by Aerobics and Fitness Association of American and taught step for almost 2 years on campus
*Michael graduated with a bacehlors in microbiology
*Kandace was born
*We met some awesome people and made great memories

Well we have a huge pile of boxes stacked up against our sliding glass door and lots more to pack, but its hard knowing what to hang onto 'til we actually leave. I'm totally living in denial, thinking there's not a whole lot to do but I know its gonna backfire when Friday comes and I'm running around like a crazy woman. I've been trying to use up all the food in our fridge, but I'm sure we'll give a lot of it to Matthew & Charlene. I'm sad to leave Laramie because I know we won't see a lot of these people for a long time, if ever again. I'll miss going to Washington park with my kids, breakfast club with Matthew & Charlene, our wonderful Spring Creek ward, singing the Messiah in December, living 5 mintues from a super Wal-mart, teaching step on campus and much more. Stetson will miss Lah-lene (Charlene) I'm sure. Maybe even Matthew, too if we remind him. :) jk

I remember looking up images of Laramie on the internet 2 years ago when we were getting ready to move here..I had a lot of anxiety going to a new place, especially when I'd never been there before. I think the lesson learned for me is that it doesn't really matter where you live, whose in your ward or what the weather is like...I have to decide to make the best of it and find happiness in my situation.
