Apartment living you got to love it!! Ha ha!! Well I'm only writing this post as to remember our journey in to moving. Its not all that bad as to what I thought it might be like, but then its not all that glamorous as well. It suits our needs at the moment. The new ward is very nice. So much bigger than our Peterson Park ward. So many kids! A much younger ward. Just up the street from us is the Dental and Medical School. In fact it's the school that Jacob would like to get into for dental school. But the ward is soo friendly and very welcoming. Its just so very different for me to be on the other end of being new. I have only been in one ward living in Arizona for 25 yrs. So this is just so new to me. David still acts like he is a bishop and goes and introduces himself and me. Not that its wrong but he is better at it then me. We have already had the Relief Society come and visit. We had some home teachers come yesterday, but David was not here. They had a party last Sunday evening to welcome the new people into the ward for he last 12 months. It was fun to meet new people. And its so funny that we know some people here in the ward that used to be in the old Tempe 3rd ward/ Petersen Park Ward. Jane Raley and her husband Richard, and
(Merrill) and Mary Jordon. They were the Tempe 3rd ward members. Then Tom and Devon Webb was the Peterson Park Ward. Tom was one of Jaren's Young Men leaders. A small world. So its fun to know some faces and not feel so intimidated.
This is Tawni. She is trying to get used to her new surroundings as well. Its hard for her to go out and have to be on a leash at all times. How rude! She wants to go and lounge and play like she used to. But she is doing better. She just can't whine at the door and tell me she wants out. She hates the stairs. I have finally got her to come up them. She can see the hole through the stairs and it just freaks her out. So we have got her coming up ok now with out her leash on of course. But coming down she refuses to do it. But she is getting better.
That is Dave and mines bedroom window. The very top one. We are on the third floor!! No peeping toms for us!!
These are the stairs that we have to climb every day. I have found a very good exercise program. Carry a case of water up those stairs and you got your heart rate up and your butt and leg work out!!
That is our balcony at the very top! They are nice apt. But very temporary for Dave and I. Jacob and Jaylyn will probably stay in them when we move out. They may move to a 1 bedroom apt. But just think when you move at least it's coming down the stairs

Look on the bright side...less to clean! It would be very hard going back to an apartment! Oh-the 3 story climb! UGGGG....but at least you don't have to listen to your neighbors walk around upstairs!
The Raleys?! Really?! Tell them Lydia Johnston says hi! They were in Tempe ward for a time and they have a daughter that is around my age. I think they are a neat family.
Hope Tawni learns to be a big brave dog when it comes to the stairs!
So where are you guys? Gilbert like off of Baseline and Rucker? If so you aren't too far from us!! We need to have you over!
