My mom and I drove out here two weeks ago and had a wonderful time. With the exception of a few snow flurries through the Rocky Mountains, the drive was good. It's a bit scary when your driving on slippery roads down a mountain and there are signs warning the cars to watch out for trucks tipping over.
The girls arrived safely on Saturday. They enjoyed the take off and the landing, but the three hours in the middle were a bit boring. Thankfully, Santa brought the girls an iPad for Christmas, so 'Angra Burds' logged in some serious hours.
The neighbors introduced themselves right after we moved in. We live next door to a real nice couple with two girls, a 13 year old and an 11 year old. They already offered to assist us in any babysitting needs and that made for one happy Bo!
Nana decorated our house beautifully! We now have a real bedroom set with a king size bed. For the first time in our marriage I can sleep without Alicia crawling all over me. I used to think it was because I was irresistible, but it turns out I'm just too big for a queen size bed.
Nana, Papa and our family went for a hike on the Rattlesnake Trail. When I asked a realtor if they had any snakes in the area, she assured me the only kind they had were gardeners. After our hike, my mom did some research and discovered we do in fact have Western Rattlers. I guess that might not have been the best place to bring a bunch of curious kids...
After her three week vacation, Alicia went back to work this morning. Alicia must really like it out here, because for the first time a while, she was bummed about going back to work. Usually I piss her off real properlike and she's excited to get away from me after more than 3 days. She'll do great out here, and she knows it!
Anya and Caitlin will be attending pre-school a mile or two from our house. Anya started today and goes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. KK will be going Tuesday and Thursday. Both the girls are excited about school. Reegan is happy that we now have cable and can keep up to date on all the new Dora episodes.
I was asked to play volleyball tonight at an open gym. Alicia's boss has a daughter who played ball in college and she asked me to join them. I'm stoked! I wasn't planning on doing anything fun outside the house for a while! Hopefully I won't suck it up.
We are now on Skype if you care to chat it up with us. My email is Boschmidt2003@yahoo.com and we usually have the iPad around if you want to get a hold of us.
We are loving our new home and are excited to continue to explore our new surroundings!
Tip of the Day: If you move into a house owned by Indians (dot, not feather), just accept your house will smell like curry for several weeks.
