Settling In

Well, we have sorta made a home for ourselves here in TN. It was unbelievably cold earlier this week and I really thought I might die. I haven't seen weather that cold in a long time. I had started to have second thoughts about this whole relocation thing, but then it warmed up a bit, and I decided that things aren't so bad here. It is awesome to have a house (with a backyard!!) and have utilized the space already. The ward has been unbelievable, and has fed us well this week. I think I MAY have to start cooking this week though, we have worn out our welcome as far as that goes!

We are still all sick, and are going through tissues like water around here. DB has been able to remain healthy enough to go to school, though which is good because He is going to have to go every day if he is going to get used to the new routine of full day Kindergarten. If I put him on the bus in the mornings instead of taking him myself, he is gone 9 hours a day!!! For Kindergarten!!! So I usually drive him there myself and save an hour away from my little buddy. The only tears I have shed since we have gotten here has been for the adjustment my little guy has had to make. We haven't seen hide nor hair of any kids his age around our neighborhood, he is behind at school because he hasn't been going to school even half the time as these kids, and it is hard to learn all the new rules and routines of a new classroom. The other day he couldn't remember his code to get lunch and he had a substitute that day who didn't know his code either, so it was kind of a big deal to figure out if this kid had paid for lunch already and he came home a bit upset about it. Now, don't get me wrong, he doesn't come home crying every day, just tired. He has always been relatively adaptable so I am sure he will be just fine. It is just the overprotective mommy inside of me that just wants everything to be wonderful and perfect for my little man.

Anyway, we are all good, one of these days I will get some pics on here.....
