Our life so far...

So, Daniel and I are pretty much settled in...ok, that might not be completely true; we have the public part of the house set up and then our bedroom and the spare room are not so pretty, but that's ok.

Daniel has been enjoying his job and has not had any mishaps as far as I know :) I have been at home during the days mostly looking for work online and watching lots of TV. Tuesdays I generally hang out with Chelsea by the pool while she watches her two neices and we see them often during the week just to hang out. Today, I decided I would stop sitting on my behind and that just because no one was calling me back right away, I wouldn't get discouraged, so I signed up to be a mentor in two different programs, so hopefully something will come from that!

Daniel and I decided to place membership with the Brentwood church of Christ, so we will meet with the Elders this Sunday and hopefully they'll let us in :) We got to go on a rafting trip with some of the younger folks from the church the second weekend we were here and they really made us feel at home so needless to say, we're very excited for our work at the church here!

We'll keep you updated as we get more to talk about :)



Love you all and miss you!
