Just a Hello!

So, Salt Lake is starting to feel a little more like home- a little bit! I am still not quite sure what to do with myself. Noelle would spend the whole day in the courtyard, and to be honest, it is really easy to do since there are always kids out there to play with and mamas to talk to. I have been really homesick for my family, especially for Noelle to play with Lucia and Marco. She keeps asking if we are far away from home. Last week really felt like a vacation. We had an orientation picnic at Sugar House Park for Dan's program and a picnic up in the canyon with our ward. This week everyone has started back to school and it is alot more quiet around here. I suppose it is time for me to develop a new routine out here. Dan is about 2 minutes from home. We can see his building from our window. On Tuesday, we picniced lunch at his building. Today, we have Kenny Shirley (Josh's son) over to play. Boy, life is quiet... so different from my working/schooling days. I miss you all.
