And We're Moved!

It is important that I don't blog very often. I can't tell you why, but trust me, it is definitely not out of laziness.

I will give an individualized update of what is happening in our family since the move. I'll start with the husband.

Tony is really enjoying his new job. (I am too because he's home a little earlier most days and I'm actually allowed to visit him at his office) The only downside about his job is they encourage golfing and Tony is not a fan...at least not yet. Hopefully they will do what I could not and convince him that golf is fun.

Recently Tony spent the day out in the sun at a work retreat and neglected to wear sunscreen. Now, sunscreen is not something Tony ever wears. Even on his mission in Mexico he went without it and he tells me he was a nice shade of red the entire two years. I still nag him about it, even though he just rolls his eyes at me and continues his non sunscreen wearing ways. However, after this last sun burn, I no longer need to nag. Take a look. (Although a picture cannot do it justice.)

He wore shorts for the next few days following the burn, but he had to wear pants when he returned to work and he quickly developed blisters. His legs were very swollen, he couldn't sleep for the first few nights, moving was painful, standing was painful, and it took almost a week before something could touch his legs without causing him severe pain. He said it hurt all the way to his bones.

 

Lesson learned.

 

(If you're wondering about the strange light at the top of this picture, its just my hair that fell in front of the camera.)

 

Lane seems to be enjoying his new surroundings. There are lots of fun parks here and his cousins live only a block away.

 

This is Lanes favorite toy at a park we frequent. This shovel is not easy to operate. I was shocked that Lane was strong enough to pull the levers back. He could probably beat me if we arm wrestled. Maybe I'll try it.

 

As for me...not much to tell. We've started house shopping so I spend a lot of time looking at houses, but so far, no luck. It's frustrating because I'm ready to be done with apartment living, but I'm sure we'll find the right one eventually. Lane would probably disagree with me because he loves running through strangers houses and the constant presense of children that live at our complex, and he loves walking over to see aunt Shelly every morning.

 

Over all, life is good.
