Small Town
It's offical, I live in a small town. Jack the postman just came to the door with my mail to introduce himself.

Better about posting
With the move and being away from friends and family I will try to be better about posting.
Idaho Falls, Idaho Week 1
Faith is still in Utah with her best friend ever A! They went to Lagoon yesterday and will be going to girls camp starting tomorrow. Faith has been looking forward to this for months but when we left Grandma's house for the final push to Idaho she was a very very sad little girl. Tears and hugs and latching on to Mommy and not letting go.
Scott is here with me at the new house, and I have been putting him to work in the mornings and letting him play in the afternoons. So far between the two of us we have unpacked the living room, family room, kitchen and bathrooms. Sounds like we are almost done right.....that doesn't count the boxes that belong in those rooms but were stuffed somewhere else. Also the house is smaller so we have tons more stuff in the basement that we aren't going to be able to use for awhile. We did get Scott's school area setup and he will be going to Idaho Virtual Academy in the fall with me as his learning coach. He is excited as he will be in high school and one of his electives next year is game design.
John had to go for a week long training in Oregon the day after we got back from Utah. So he has gotten out of doing all the work of unpacking. I have left putting together Faith's bed for him and organizing the garage and basement. That should keep him busy for awhile. :)
As for me I have been going nuts as always. I am excited that the dishwasher here works but bummed we don't have air conditioning (honestly we don't need it, its the thought of it that counts). Cable guy came yesterday but we don't have digital boxes so I have to figure out what box has the TV remote before I can really utilize the TV. We did decide to go wireless on our cable but I don't know if its the cable connection up here or the wireless but the internet is noticeably slower. Great news is that the movers found my lost camera so I can post updated pictures...as soon as I figure out where I put the cable to download them. :P
Anyways I have to get back to unpacking, will talk to you all soon.
Loves!

Taylor Swift
Some time ago John took Scott to an Alice Cooper concert. He then proceeded to take me to Nickelback for my birthday. That left Faith out, so John told her that when someone comes to town that she wants to see he would take her. Her favorite singer is Taylor Swift, posters of the girl, Cd's, cut out pictures. For months we have been watching for when Taylor Swift would be coming here. I know when she is coming and I know when tickets are going to go on sale. I tell John that we need to get the tickets day the go on sale or the concert will be sold out.....three days later I remember we were supposed to get tickets. I go online to see if maybe by some slim hope there were still tickets left. Nope. Nothing. John finds a site that is selling tickets for 170 a piece and decides we just cant afford to pay that much. I however find 2 lower bowl tickets for $200. Seems like a lot of money but we bought them anyways. Her birthday is just around the corner and we would have had tickets had neither of us screwed up. So we told Faith we got the tickets and she squealed, yes she squealed like a little girl. Hearing that response John asked Faith if she would be crushed if I went in his place. She said no and we both squealed like little girls. John is the bestestestestestest ever!!!!
