We have arrived!!

We have proof! We arrived on Dec. 1, 2008. We took 4 and a half days to drive out. We especially enjoyed time spent in Carthage, IL and Nauvoo! We ended up being the only "tourists" in Nauvoo. We loved having our own personal missionary tour guide. Surprisingly, the kids did great thoughout the drive. Things couldn't have gone better!

We are adjusting to life in Maryland! Morgyn is close enough to walk to school! Jadyn and Torbyn bus it to school! Brittyn and Mommy are home together having fun and Dad is learning the ropes with his new job. Jeff is also starting his second class towards his Masters with Gonzaga.

We had a great Christmas! Only half of our tree fit in the house. But we made it work. In the end it still filled our window and Jeff was satisfied.
Before Christmas we took a trip on the Metro to D.C. and saw our nations capital in person and of course the 76 ft tree from Montana! The kids also loved the Natural History Museum!
A couple of days before Christmas we also drove to the DC temple to enjoy the lights. Not exactly like Temple Square but it worked!
Morgyn represented our family well today with a great youth talk about service. She was very poised for her first talk in Sacrament Meeting.

One state down!
