We are here!

Hello everyone! So we have been kind of missing in action lately. Here has been our life in a nutshell. We are settled in and living with Ryan's sister and her husband while we find a place to set roots, they are great to put up with us. Annika started her third elementary school in 2 years. Ryan is loving a job that he is not confined in the office all day, and I am trying to keep everything straight. We had Halloween, a Pirate and Tinkerbell. We have been doing a lot of house looking, it is amazing what people do to their houses sometimes. We took two trips to CA-one for a nephew's baptism and one to celebrate with my bro-in-law that graduated from Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB. I work a couple of nights a week still at Kohl's and Ryan and I just got called as primary teachers in our ward with one of the tough classes. We celebrated Thanksgiving with both sides of the family and for once we did not travel "Home for the Holidays". We had a great Christmas and feel so blessed. We are enjoying being close to family, but still maintaining our family time as much as we can squeeze in. We have, so far, had a relatively healthy winter- a first for us. I think this dry, desert may be good for Ash. Annika has taken the training wheels off and Ashton has graduated from his squeaky Radio Flyer Trike to a big boy bike with training wheels and is working hard on potty training-YEAH!!! That is us, keep in touch. We will post more when things continue to fall in place.
