Moved

Two weeks we have been in the new house. It was a very hard move...a full 3 days. We have mountains of boxes in the storage room and garage, but we are getting close on getting the inside in order. Just trying to hang pictures and find places for all the nicknacks. the house itself is much better for our family...the layout and feel. we just had so much work in the other one and as jonathan put it...negativity. he doesn't miss it he said. our neighbors and ward yes...house now. for 2.5 years there wasn't a time when we weren't doing a full renovation/construction project which caused numerous fights and hardship...so to move into this new home...there is a feeling of peace...its hard really to explain, but its very homey and feels good. now this isn't to say there are no projects...but the scale is different so I don't believe we will kill eachother here lol. with not having a dedicated office, we haven't been able to figure out where to put everything that once occupied an entire room. we have come up with a solution to the desk/computer issue that I think will work for us. in the corner of the living room off the kitchen there was this alcove that had a built in shelf. not too user friendly. we figured if we knocked it out we could put in a computer hutch and the kids would have a place to use the computer in plain sight and it would store the printer some office supplies etc. we are still figuring out if where we will be putting books, filing, and the billion other office things...but for now... jett is growing so fast. feeding himself, walking like a pro now, loves to wrestle, give BIG hugs and kisses, quick to laugh...hes such a joy. Tristan -looking into some new school options...friends/bullying for him hasn't changed. hes so sensitive and it kills jonathan and I when hes struggling. elijiah- reading constantly, playing basketball and their team until sat was undefeated, hanging with friends, doing well noel...has a boyfriend. :) is thinking about coming spending more time with us in the summer in part to get out of az for a bit, hang with this boy..so we will see. ONE more week for Jonathan to finish is MBA. ONE week. It feels anticlimactic...but its such a huge accomplishment I need to think of something cool for him to celebrate this milestone....
