Moved and Settled

Alright friends and family, here goes my attempt to keep you informed from afar!

Since my last post, (which seems like ages ago) we have sold our house, the girls and I moved in with my parents for a couple of months, Ally finished the 1st grade, we moved to Grand Junction, CO, and now we're all on our own!

The girls have started gymnastics, and after some trial and error, we've ended up in a wonderful gym! Ally seems like a natural; she's already holding a handstand for a few seconds. I can't wait to see where she goes with this; she says she wants to do it until she's a teenager! lol Jerrica has been having fun at gymnastics too! Her coach says that she's very strong. Must be those Weedop legs. ;) I'm so glad to have an activity that gets us out of the house and lets us interact with other people.

School starts at the end of August. Ally will be in 2nd grade and Jerrica will be in pre-school. That means I'll have 3 hours/3 days a week, all to myself. What shall I do?! =/ I have to admit, I'm looking forward to school starting. The girls are with each other every day...all day...every second...all the time. Yeah, they fight a lot. haha It will be great for them to get a break from each other!

We really missed family on the 4th of July! Our 4th turned out very differently than any other one we've had. We ended up going down to a place called Blue Mesa Reservoir; it's about 2 hours southeast of Junction. It was so beautiful there and we had a great time, but it was weird being all by ourselves without family or friends. The girls were obsessed the whole time about being able to go swimming and then when it actually came time to swim, they said the water was too cold and they didn't want to. lol

Over that weekend, we discovered some new Colorado laws. Junction had fireworks stands all over the place. So on the way out of town, instead of stopping to get some fireworks, we just decided we would get some in Gunnison. WEEEEELL, it turns it that many cities and counties in Colorado don't allow "illegal" fireworks. And yeah...they do mean sparklers by that. =/ Ok, so no big deal. We'll just get back to Junction on the 5th and get a few then. Oh no, no, no. You can't sell fireworks after the 4th either. So sadly, we didn't get to set off any fireworks this year, but we will be making up for that little fact next year!

Anyway, I don't want to make this post too long. It's weird though, everyday I feel like I have some pressing thing I need to get done, and everyday I realize I don't. I can't wait for our Lake Powell trip in August and then our trip to Idaho in mid-August. I also can't wait to start making some friends here!
