We are still unpacking but have all the important stuff done. We'll probably be unpacked fully with in about a week. After we have the entire house, inside and outside, set up we are going to plan a BBQ for everyone who we've met and who have helped us with our move in the area. I can't wait to finally be able to have an outdoor gathering. Someone I have been wanting for a very long time.
Today is Day 2 of being a SAHM and I'm loving it. Getting a lot done with out the added stress of having to work a very stressful job too. We can't wait to get on a good routine and figure out how we are going to do preschool this fall. After we are done packing I will sit down and plan it out. Excited to teach Grace in an organic and fun way.
Today we made some new friends. A mom I met at the library yesterday invited us to the playground. We went and met her and another friend of hers that she invited as well. It was lovely. They both go to the church we plan on visiting this Sunday. They each have a 3 year old and a baby. Grace was a bit stand-of-ish but I know in time she will warm up to her new surroundings and new friends.
We walked to the playground-the walk there and back took a good 30+ minutes and we were at the playground for almost 2 hours. When we got home, we never even made it inside. We watered the rose garden and the yard. 3 hours later we finally came inside to relax. Watching Ariels New Beginnings with Grace now. Nice to snuggle together.
Well, off to move the sprinkler so the entire yard gets a good drink.
Will be back with more of an update soon.

Eburg is so cool. You'll get by without a Target! Yes the hospital is tiny but Yakima has a great one and it's only 30 min away. Plus you get to have SNOW!
Sounds like you're going to make it!! Such a big change, but trust God will use it to grow you all!! xoxo
