Life in Idaho...

No pictures this post, sorry. If I were to post pictures they would be of snow, snow, everywhere! It is always snowy here where Josh's parents live I think. But then 30 miles south it is usually melted. So, we made it here safely.

Jeni - if you are reading this - I tried to post a comment back to you on your blog but it wouldn't let me for some reason. I miss you too! Tell the girls I said hi.

We are living here in the thriving metropolis of Chester, Idaho. Population: 4. No, I don't know but it feels like 4. Our apartments are coming along. They had the paint done when we were there and we installing cabinets in the kitchen this week. I'm really excited for them. They are so nice. I really think the sqare footage of our apartment may be the same as if not bigger than our house. I had people telling me, "Oh, it'll be hard for you to go back to an apartment after living in a house," but they haven't seen this apartment... I think I'll survive. :) I am starting to train now with my friend, Tiffany (yes, it's awesome we have the same name) and so far it's going well. I am only overwhelmed a few times per session. :) Right now it's all about learning the computer system for contracts.

Gabe started preschool on Monday. My initial response was, "Oh, this is a step down from his old preschool..." but he says he likes it and seems like he's having fun so I guess that's what matters. Plus it's close to our apartments and coincides with my office schedule so it'll be good.

Caleb is the little moody man. Sometimes he's so sweet then when he's lacking sleep he gets feisty and him and Grandpa Rhodes go at it. We try to tell Grandpa Rhodes not to sink to the maturity level of the two-year-old... :) It's a test of his patience I think. They'll probably throw a party when we move out.

What else? Josh is working for Teton. He likes it but says it is way more relaxed than Winnebago - for good and bad. I like that he works 4 days on, 4 days off and the pay is I think the best in southeastern Idaho for Sheriff's departents so that's good.

The best part of being back here is that we've already gotten to hang out with lots of our friends - Tiff, Scott, Charm, Devin, (briefly), Abbie, Jordan, and more! That's more than we hung out with all year in Wisconsin! Plus Gabe has gotten to see all his cousins now I think. (All 16!)

We miss Wisconsin and Gabe and Caleb both have their, "I want to go home moments..." (as do I, especially when my mom tells me I got a 30 percent off coupon in the mail this time for Kohl's, which now is an hour away instead of 5 minutes - thanks mom!)
but we are slowly adjusting. Wish you all well!
