Updates...


I thought I would do a little update as to what was going on in the life of the Wilsons:

Daron and I have been married for 6 months as of yesterday...and let me tell you it feels like it's a lot longer than that!  I don't think that's a bad thing though... think it means that as awkward and as much of an adjustment as it could of been...it has been really easy and nice!

We have been talking about moving closer into town.  Right now we live about 35 miles away from my office (which is right on the border of Phoenix and Tempe).  If you take one of the main freeways out of town, once you finally get to our road, Ironwood, then you get off and have to go another 10 miles S to our house.  Well...after all the talking and looking and searching...we found a house!  (hopefully)  Me and Daron had 2 houses to look at yesterday, and we really liked the first one we went to so we canceled our other appointment, filled out the application for this house, and according to the realtor it looks like this will be our new home for the next few years or so.  Of course we eventually want to buy a house, but not for a couple more years...  So now we still drive down to Ironwood, but instead of driving that 10 more miles down to Ocotillo, we just have to drive 1 mile north to Southern.  I'm excited about this change!  Our rent will be cheaper, our electric will be cheaper cause this is a single story house, we won't burn through as much gas...so this will be good all around.  Bryan has struggled with this decision the most cause he has to move AGAIN...and I know that is frustrating for him...but he'll be fine.  Some of the best people I know moved a lot as kids...so I'm not worried.

Hannah is in her last few weeks of high school!  She is struggling to get through her classes...but is optimistic about passing them all...so hopefully every thing will be good on that end.  She is also finishing up cosmetology school at the same time.  She is going to Nauvoo this summer for a month to work at the Fudge Factory and get a little sample of life in the 'real world'...  She's gonna stay with Tacy and Jessie and hopefully have a really good time!  We are just as excited as she is!

Other than that there isn't too much to report.  School is winding down here in a month or so and that is exciting for Bryan and Hannah, even though Bryan says we've 'ruined his summer' cause of the move.  I am in NO WAY looking forward to the heat...oh man...but at least there is no humidity.  I have never experience humidity until I moved back to Nauvoo this past summer.  Of course I grew up with humidity...but you don't really EXPERIENCE it till you leave it then have to come back to it.  Oh man it was awful.

Anyway...that's us...in a nutshell...

Congrats on finding the house! Bummer that Bryan is struggling with the decision, but that's normal. Just reassure him that everything will be okay and it is helping the whole family and you'll all do your best to help him, too :) At least he won't be too far away from his friends! And I am sure he will make new friends at school quickly :)

Brooks and I will be moving in the summer heat, too. You and I can empathize with each other :) Or maybe a sad face :( would be a better emoticon for that one...
