Stories from the past week...

Well, I'm sure you're all wondering how things are going here. It's been not quite 2 weeks since I arrived, with my Mom and girls, to the state of Kansas to begin my adventure here. To be honest, I don't really feel at home yet. Of course, we're still living at Ty's parents' house, so that may have something to do with it. It is quiet and pretty darn beautiful out here, so there are at least 2 good things about it. It has been, and is, quite a transition for all of us. The girls actually did really REALLY well in the car. I was amazed. The first day was pretty good until it was time for Anna to go to sleep. She was terrified of the room we put her in for some reason, so we switched rooms. She was still scared in the new room, so I spent the night in there with her, and my Mom the next night. Finally, the 3rd night, she slept in there by herself. Of course, it wasn't until the next morning that I found out Ty had told her that if she layed down and went to sleep I would come in there when it was my bed time. Since I was unaware of this, I never went in. Oops! She didn't seem to mind the next morning, and she's done pretty well ever since. I had been really sad thinking that Anna might not remember all of the important people we are leaving in TX, but every night she continues to list off all of our friends and loved ones in her bed time prayers. It makes me smile every time, and I hope she keeps it up for a long time. I'm still not able to use my computer, so I can't upload any pics of our new house, but I will asap. The work that thing needs will be a chronicle in itself, but I'm excited for the challenge and for something to do. Now if only I could find something that would make us some money but let me be home with the girls, I'd be in hog (or should I say cow) heaven. Any ideas?

I am so excited to hear more about your new house and see photos (when you are able)! It's so sweet that Anna is remembering people. I loved the "Let's pretend that Dana is here." As for a job for you, you have lots of talents! What about flower arranging for events, event planning, photography, or doing some accounting for some ranchers or business owners (since you worked at a bank)? I don't know what the demographic is there, though... Miss you, but I am so glad you are doing well!
