Update

Sorry it has been so long. Kids started back to school today. FINALLY! It took forever to get them in. Lots of schools to choose from here. They have what is called "choice". You choose the school you want and then apply to get them in. Normally that takes a month or so, but they did a quick time for us. There is still 6 weeks left here. School ends on June 12th. Yikes. It feels like forever to Sarah and Jesse, so I guess a 2 week break in April is ok. Sarah is in Indian River High School, (pic) and Jesse is at Lord Baltimore Elementary. It is about a 1hour commute for me in the mornings and another 1 hour in the afternoons. We chose schools that would be close to where we WANT to live, not where we live now. We have found 3 homes that we really like and now the game is on. Negotiate and bargain, my two favorite things. We don't really like our realtor, but we are almost done with her. She talks WAY too much. I get a headache just knowing that I have to talk to her again. I have a calling in the ward. I am the 2nd Counselor in the YW. We have been twice now and are starting to learn names. There are an overabundance of 16-18 year old boys at the moment and they are all drooling over the idea that Emily and Jeanie are coming for the summer. They are all clones of Dallin, so the girls should have fun. One boy asked Sarah if her sister was a "cool dude". If they only knew how COOL Em and Jean are they would be out of their minds. Emily gets here on the 13th and Jeanie comes on the 19th. We can't wait. We hope we are in a bigger house by then......I am trying not to think about Mother's Day. It feels too weird and lonely. I can't wait to talk to Dallin though. Happy! Darrin and I had a lobster dinner on saturday. It was the special at a beachside restaurant. It was pretty tastey. The people sitting next to us were very chatty and gave us "lessons" when they found out we were from Arizona. So, all of you that are thinking about coming out here to visit, pray for us to get the house that we are looking for cuz we are looking big to accomidate extras. So far so good.
