What I See Out My Front Window Now and some Thanks!

If you had told me a year ago I'd be where I am today, I'd have laughed at you and silently wished you were right.
Things have been changing right and left for us in the last year. We've gone from employed to unemployed to underemployed. We've gone from home-schooling/private-schooling to public schooling. And we've gone from living in the city to living in a small-town.
(OK, I wish I was still homeschooling the kids, but it seemed like the best way for my kids to integrate into the town and get to know the children, so they are in public school this year and are, for the most part, loving it.)

This picture is what I see when I look out my front window today. Those are the Blue Mountains and they are so beautiful to my eyes. I grew up in this house and have watched those mountains for years. I finally learned to see the 'horsehead' on it's side, I've watched rain and snow storms envelope them and make them disappear. I've watched the maples turn scarlet and the aspens turn gold and I'm thrilled that I get to see them every day again and share them with my husband and children. (I've already drug them up the moutain road to look for deer and wild turkey!)

If there are any of my wonderful friends from Utah County reading this, please know how much your help with packing and loading, as well as your loving concern for our family meant to me. I feel so blessed to be able to call you friends, knowing that our friendship won't end even though miles separate us. Our doors will always be open to you and we'd love to have you come visit.
Thanks so much for so many good memories and years in Utah County. I love you all!

p.s. I'm not missing the traffic. at. all.
But I'm going to have to get myself more organized since I can't just run to WalMart everytime I need something!
