We've Arrived!

Hey Friends! We arrived here in Texas last week, and were "roughing it" until our stuff arrived two days ago. We haven't been able to locate our photo cord in all these boxes yet, but as soon as I dig it out, I will post some pictures of our journey, and that adorable, growing baby of ours. (He hit the two month mark on Tuesday!)

So far, Scott and I love it here. Our neighbors are so kind and friendly (four families came and introduced themselves before we had even been here an hour) and we have met lots of great young couples in the ward. We were fridgeless for a week (until our stuff arrived) and three ward families fed us. We really feel included already!

We were unable to get the electricity turned on before we got here, but figured we would be a-okay if we arrived at the house before dark, and if we brought a battery powered lantern for midnight feedings. Boy were we wrong! We inflated our air mattress at the neighbors house, but then lasted only an hour in the house before we felt so melted that we knew we would not last the night in the house because of the incredible heat and humidity. So, we spent the first two nights at our house staying in a hotel. :) Thankfully, our power was turned on by the afternoon of the third day here, so we could move in and begin to get settled. We absolutely love this house, and have enjoyed making it ours. Now for unpacking!

Houston, Here We Come!

Check out this cute onsie! My friend and former co-worker Sandra went all the way to Houston, just to get this for us. : ) Note the plush cowboy boots, too. We leave this Saturday, May 26, for Houston.

A fun visit from the Arnolds

President and Sister Arnold stopped by for a visit this afternoon. I am so glad Scott has kept in touch with them since serving in Rostov, Russia --they are such supportive friends!

Auntie Laura

Here we are with my former boss (and dear friend!) Laura, at the BYU School of Music. It was so fun to see her when we were on campus the other day.
