Two More Weeks

I can't believe we have only two more weeks until we get the keys to our new home in Westminster, Colorado. These past few days I have been super busy trying to get all the loose ends tied for our move. The girls have loved being the in the car for a couple of hours here and there and driving to the store, then the post office, then the doctors, etc. It is almost like a game for them to see if they can remember our next location we will be driving to.

On Sunday Jay will head to Kansas for a week to attend a week long Barbershop College and I will be driving to my mom's house to spend a week with her. I can't wait to slow down and spend time one on one time with the girls before things get busy again with unpacking and settling in to our new routines.

I really want to be able to keep a consistent journal here on my blog. This is such a change for our family and just have been feeling the urge to record our new adventure in Colorado. Blogging is not my forte, however I just got a new laptop yesterday and feel like maybe it will be easier now.

I really will miss Las Vegas. The biggest thing (and probably the only thing) is the people. I will miss being close to Jay's family and will miss all of the friends that have come to mean so much to me. The one thing that comforts me when I start feeling a little down about leaving all these people I love is the fact that Jay and I have felt that this is what the Lord wants for our family. We have fasted and prayed or have gone to the temple about every big decision that we have had made these past 9 months that has led us up to going to Colorado. I know that this is the right decision for us and that brings me a lot of peace!

Little Anti-smokers

The past few days Madelyn and Kaelyn have been very persistent in pointing out all the people who smoke. Every time they spy someone who is smoking they go into a in depth discussion between the two of them on how it wrong. They then bring me in to their circle by asking several questions on the subject of smoking. I love how curious they are and all the questions that they ask me as we are driving to and from activities. I love that they are understanding right and wrong. Many times our smoking conversations will end with Madelyn from the back seat of our van proclaiming that Jesus doesn't want us to smoke and that is all the reason we need! I completely agree Maddy!
