We're moved and it's great!

So here we are, in the middle of nowhere, and I'm liking it even better than I expected. The people are friendly. The quiet here at times is incredible. I've seen elk, rabbits and lots of lizards.

I'm enjoying the space and freedom to read when I want, sit outside and enjoy the quiet when I need it, and the space to do scrapbooking projects when I get a new ink cartridge to print out my photos.

The kids are adjusting pretty well. We go for walks, rides on the scooters and quads, walk up the hill when it's time to feed the horses, and we're watching movies together (well, Logan, Jordan & me). We never had time for that in the city. It was always running from one errand or class to another. There were so many days as a homeschooling parent that all I longed for was to spend a day at HOME. Now, I feel this year will be the one with the most progress, the best memories, and the greatest flexibility we've ever had.

I'll be back to the city about once a month for the next few months, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying just staying home.
