Reality, right now, feels like putting my face into an ice bath. WAKE UP!!! We have about five more weeks in sunny California before we start our pilgrimage to the land of plenty - Utah. We have been accepted to live in Student Housing at the U, and move in mid August. Frankily, the apartments look like a glorified jail cell - cinder-block walls, concrete floors, and some sort of dark purple carpet. Martha Stewart, where are you?! I don't mind the living quarters, because the pros definitely outweigh the cons: less than a mile to school, rent is inexpensive, the grounds look like a mob of toddlers just passed through and left every sinlge toy they possess on the sidewalk (pro or con? you decide). The community seems more than ideal for Noelle, and Corom, there's plenty of room for them to play - safely. Along with the sweet feelings we have for the move are the bitter ones of leaving our family and friends in California. Only time away from those we love will reveal the yearning we have to be back at their sides, which will cause for some long, restless nights. Thank goodness for web cams. Speaking of which, Brian mentioned "skype" for an online phone service. On the surface it sounds great, so I was wondering if anyone else has had success with this service.
Another reality we're facing is the moving process, uugghh! I won't bore you with the details. All I'm saying is there's a lot of toys/clothes that have to go! Any takers?
We are so looking forward to start a new chapter in our lives - new friends, family members, surroundings, experiences. Until next time...

I can hardly stand the thought of the 4 of you being gone. I will miss you all so much. We will just have to visit often. Those babies are growing so fast! I am glad for you that you'll be close to the Shirley clan and Chris and Jules will be there to support you also. It will be a great experience for you. I am so proud of you for having goals and working hard. Love you, Mom
We're back from Utah... what are you doing this week? What days are open?
