We Moved

Shawn and I have moved our family to Glendale Arizona! I never thought that I would be living on the westside but here I am living in Glendale. For those of you who don't know Shawn has just strated Medical School at Midwestern University. I am so proud of him. I was a little nervous about the move, I mean it is a BIG change for us, Shawn back in school and gone ALL the time, moving back into an apartment with our 2 boys and not knowing a sole over here to lean on. I was stressed out. Even the first week was hard and I felt like I was never going to be done unpacking. Well Shawn is gone alot (last week he studied over 20 hours not including school), we are in an apartment but it is a good sized place that holds most of our stuff (our storage room is full), and I have made a friend or two. Kellen has become best buddies with a little boy that lives in the complex and they are sooooo cute together. He asks me everyday to play with Carter. It is nice to live on campus and know that everyone else is in the same boat as we are and I know that the girls that I have met will be a great support system for me when I need someone. I have enjoyed the ward so far and I am looking forward to Enrichment tomorrow night so that I can meet and get to know more of the women in our new ward. All in all I think that I am going to love it here and can already tell that I will think back fondly to these times in our lives ten years from now.

your blog is sooo cute! i am so glad that you guys moved here, and live just across the parking lot, so we can hang out all the time. Carter throws a fit everyday begging to go to your house and everytime we go outside he says "Mom can we go say hi to Kellen?" it's cute how they became best friends right away.

Welcome to the life of being a wife to a medical student! Jimmy is currently studying for his second round of boards- all they do is study, study, study! But hey- its suppose to pay off somewhere in the distant future! Good luck. he will do great!
