Happy November!!!

I can't believe it's already here! It's actually already here and almost half over. By the end of this week it will be Mary's 22nd birthday. That's right, on Friday the 13th, which happened to be the actual day she was born on, she will be 22. Wow, how time flies.
Well, we are hear in Utah, we have some boxes unpacked, the computers set up (which is the most important thing), other than the tv. It's going to take a while to go through the rest of it and see what I really need out right now. I know I brought my pressure cookers which I can't live without and if I can't find them, it is NOT going to be pretty.
We were welcomed by a snow storm our first couple of days here, I am sure that the locals would laugh and say, "That ain't no snow storm, just wait, we'll show you a snow storm!" But it was cool. I loved waking up and seeing the snow on the ground and watching the flakes fall from the sky. Taylee wanted to go play in it and I told her she had to wait till Becca had a coat to take her out in it. (Becca still doesn't have a coat.) I noticed Old Navy has them 50% off this week though. I don't mind the "cold" it's the wind chill that I do NOT like. It can really cut right through you.
I did think I was making progress the other day though because we actually made it up to Idaho. I haven't ever been up that far! It was a sad excuse though. We have banked at Bank of America for years! We had to physically make a deposit on Friday. Do you think there is ONE BofA in all of UTAH! NO! I couldn't believe it! The only ATM's were the kinds that you can make withdraws out of, not deposits. So, Becca was watching Taylee, & Jaxx the whole weekend while her parents got some much needed time away, and Tylie, while her parents worked friday. We just packed up the van, carseats, kids and Grandma and took off for Pocatello, Idaho. Called Dale and said, "here we come." Grandma Cari was thrilled to see the Grandbabies, as I would be to see mine. We didn't spend much time there, but it was a nice visit and made back here before midnight. The kids were great little travelers, and so was Grandma.
Well family, this is quite an adventure. I miss my kids in AZ. I talk to you all the time, but it's not the same as seeing you. There are so many fun things I see up here that find myself wanting to point out, but then remember, oh yeah, you aren't here. I am enjoying getting to know the family up here. The cable company can't even begin to compare to Cox. They suck next to Cox!!! (Sorry Jeremy if they read this and turn off our cable now.) They are slower, plus on the tv channels if you want to tvo something for the next day you can't because all the programs say, "to be announced."
Sorry I rambled on and on. Till next time...... There is joy joy joy joy down in my heart for you!!! Ask Dale about that one.
