Hello Wyoming!

I would say at this point that we are officially moved. Our old apartment on Colorado got the last bits of cleaning done on the 4th, I locked the door and turned in the keys that afternoon. Since then I have been working on unpacking what boxes I could lift here on Wyoming. At this point there are only a few more boxes sitting in the dining room with text books and kitchen stuff that need to be unloaded, but for the most part I would say that we are done with all of the important unpacking.

This week William finished up his year as a Junior at BSU in the IEEE program, which is considered to be the hardest year by both the students and the professors. So as a gift for getting through this horrendous year and on behalf of Father's Day, I let William get himself a "new" toy. Actually William found a 14' Aluminum fishing boat with oars, life jackets, a fish finder and a motor on Craigslist for quite the deal and I told him we could take the money out of savings for it if he could find a spot to put the thing in his new garage. He immediately went to work out in the garage and cleaned out an entire half and showed me where he could hang it on the wall. So now we have a boat in our garage which he is going to take out on the water tomorrow to start his first real break since starting school back in 2006!

Since William finished his semester, it seems about once a day when we are all in the same place at our new place I get this feeling that life is just SO Wonderful! On Wednesday evening we sat out on the porch in the back yard in our camping chairs watching a city league baseball game going on in the park and Sam playing with some of his toys while waiting for dinner to get out of the oven. It was so simple! William was smiling, Sam was giggling while running after his ball, the baby was kicking softly, the smell of chicken nuggets was coming through the screen door, the cheers from the team members playing baseball was floating back to us. It was surreal! The coolest part is that I have been experiencing that feeling everyday this week!

I love our new home, I love the way that my family is growing and so happy no matter how many trials we go through! I love my little Sam and my wonderful husband William for everything they do to make my days filled with laughter and work that I don't mind doing for them because of how much I really do love them! My Dad always used to tell me that when he was in school with a wife and 3 kids that life was hard, but after he looked back that it was some of the best times in his life. I see that almost everyday in our life. That despite the tight budget, the seemingly endless diapers and tantrums, the homework that takes over the hours after William gets home from work and school, that despite all of it that we are having the best time of our lives and that it is truly in a period of our life that will never be able to be relived once it is over.

So, Goodbye Colorado! Hello Wyoming! I can't wait to see all of the adventures we have as we keep pressing forward into our crazy existence!
