We Made It!

Thursday afternoon we rolled into Rexburg. We started getting unpacked as soon as we got there. Its still a work in progress, but we were able to officially move in on Saturday. 
We are enjoying ourselves so far. Having family near by has been great. Mike started working today. He's a farmer now. It's a bit comical to me that this is my life. I never imagined myself living in Rexburg for the rest of my life, let alone living on a farm.
Our house is pretty nice. There definitely needs to be some painting and a bathroom remodel done, but we love it. There are some cool features to  house itself, but my favorite has to be our backyard. It's huge. I can't wait to get out and start my garden. We also need to get some cats, to catch mice. I'm probably more excited than I should be to get a couple of cats. 
The girls seem to be adjusting well. Addie thinks that the "new lellow house is so fun!" Leah looks.a bit confused sometimes. She must be thinking, there is all our stuff, but where is the house it goes in? Leah also loves the patches of snow and every chance she gets, she reaches her hand down and grabs some.to munch on. 
We needed to buy a new fridge, washer and dryer, so I felt like a grown-up picking out appliances. My washer and dryer dont get here until Friday, so I'm going up to my in-laws until then. We also bought a deep freezer, which I am also very excited for. 
I do miss my friends back in Seattle so much. I miss Seattle. I walked outside Saturday night and I saw more stars than I've seen in a long time. It was so beautiful, but at the same moment, I had a bit of anxiety at how open it was. In Seattle, everything is so cozy, from the low laying sky, to the mist and the trees. I had a pang of homesickness. But, I am loving it here and excited for our new chapter.
