life changes

so we have finally done it! we have moved from the ice-burg in eastern idaho and made it to the banana belt in western idaho. i have noticed a drastic change in my attitude towards winter since this move-i no longer find it an excruciating experience! its january and i can go for a walk outside, play in the park, and not out on 5 coats just to run to the store. i love it.
andy started work and officially hates teenagers. i told him to get used to them now so he can be all warmed up for when our kids become teenagers. he says they argue with everything he says and have no motivation at all. to his credit, the school gave him all the kids that are behind and usually have some behavior problems. i told him that it would just make him a better teacher. he sure does work with some great people. i have met some of them and they are so nice and helpful and are there to support him after a tough day. it has meant a lot.
i am enjoying my time with nolan, my nephew. he is getting more and more fun each day. it has been a challenge to go from working in an office to babysitting at home. it is good practice for when our little one comes. speaking of which, i am now into my third and final trimester. i cannot not wait to be done. its like a new symptom of something comes every week, adding to the last one. this weeks arrival is the agonizing pain of sciatica. fun fun fun :)
we are happy and settled. its great to be here for now and will keep you posted on any new developments that happen on our end.
have a good day!
