I was inspired by my good friends to keep this updated, but it has been a long time, so I won't attempt to fill you in on everything in between. We have been in Salt Lake City now for about nine months and, although we definitely miss our close family and friends, we are enjoying the new lifestyle here in Salt Lake, namely city life, more sunshine, and a very family oriented area. We have managed to make some good friends in Nina and Randy, who live only a few blocks away and also have a boy and a girl, and have gotten back in touch with a very close friend from high school, Emily and her family. The kids stay occupied with walks in the (huge) cemetery across the street, swimming lessons, story time at the library and playing with each other.
I have started in on my parent coaching studies and am very excited to put my skills to use once I am through. November 8th I attended a four-day conference and had the opportunity to meet my fellow students. Brain research was the main topic, and now I can tell you in full depth why my kids don't watch very much TV! It was very valuable.
We don't know how long we'll be here, but we do know that we'd rather stay than be sent somewhere else. We like our remodeled 1908 house, the sunshine, the parks in close proximity, our new friends, and our neighborhood. We might even settle on in if we can get all of our loved ones to relocate!
