A Lot Has Happened

We are now living at my parents house in Idaho, the boys were a little to much for Great Grandma and Grandpa to take on a daily basis. We are having a lot of fun though, we herd cattle and help with the chores, we ride in the tractors, combines, and trucks that my brothers drive at work, and have a lot of open space to play in since once we move there will be no such thing as open space. But the boys also absolutely love living there and being with Grandma, Grandpa, Paden, Tessa, Blake, Collin and Jess. There is always someone to play with and someone to back me up... The school Ash is at has a very poor rating but a wonderful teacher that is making all the difference and she is doing all she can to get him what he needs which is a great relief. We have also done some traveling, we went to S. Dakota to visit my brothers family for Halloween and had a lot of fun but my mom hit a deer on the way home. We are on our second trip to Utah and having a good visit with family for Thanksgiving. As it sits now we will be moving to VA just after the new year, Paden has offered to take my car across the country with a couple of his friends which will save us $700- and Chris is finding plane tickets for cheap so now we just have to worry about the $3200- for shipping everything else. Chris is not going to recognize his kids, they are growing like weeds, I can't seem to keep them in clothes between the growing and the holes in the knees. But I don't think they will recognize him either, he has a full beard and looks a lot different but absolutely love his jobs it have been an answer to prayers for him. We love all of you and appreciate your love and support.

Hurray! We are so glad for an update on your family. We are in SLC for thanksgiving and drove through the old neighborhood today. We wish we could have stopped to visit at your house. Good luck with the moving! Let us know when you get settled.- The Simmons

It was nice to find out how you settled in with your folks. Happy for Ash's school and especially happy about your plans for VA in the new year!

Just read your post, we were just wondering where you were going to be for Christmas. Sounds like all 3 of you are enjoying your stay in Buhl. Very happy you have some plans to get back to Virginia.
