Just an update

Since we moved we have not had much luck with the Internet so updates have not been very regular. But we have had some fun now that the sun has come out some. We have a great zoo less than 3 miles from the house (Brookfield Zoo). We got an annual membership a couple months ago and have gone several times. They have a great indoor play area for the kids and we have spent many hours there.

In addition to the zoo we have finally met a couple neighbors. There are two little boys who live next door. Keith is 13 and Nick is 9 (I think). Jeremiah adores Nick and he has been really sweet to J. They played in the front yard taking turns on the scooter and skateboard. Davis is a wild child with his tricycle on the sidewalk; giving me a great workout.

Speaking of workouts; I have been teaching spin at the YMCA for the last 6 weeks. It has been great, I have met some people and am going to teach a total body fitness class next session. They will send me to some training so I don't have to pay for my own certifications. In addition, the family gets a discount membership and discounts on all classes. I plan to put Jeremiah in swimming lessons come April.

Finally, Ben and I have been able to embrace the "date night". Funny, you have a husband in town and you can do things together. My parents have visited several times and we have used their services to our advantage. We have been to several plays, played co-ed football with some co-workers (COLD), went to a rockin' roller skating party and went to a concert this past weekend at the House of Blues. I like having a city with lots to do so close, but I still miss the charm of Austin.

Over all I am trying to adjust. It has been harder than I expected. Each move in the past I worked and was able to adjust quickly with a network of friends etc. This has been very difficult, we are still looking for a church and I miss my friends in Austin. I am trying to get involved and meet people and I am sure it will take some time. Hopefully we will get this Internet thing fixed and I will be able to post more often...maybe with some pictures. But until then, I hope all is well.
