Time Flies
So I realized today that we moved to Missouri exactly a year ago- Aug 30, 2006. It is crazy to me how fast time flies. It feels like we have been here forever, but at the same time, it hasn't been that long. I remember when the idea first came up that we might move out here, and how much I hated it. There was no way I was going to leave my family, friends and everything I have ever known to live far away in some unknown place. But I can honestly say that I am happy that we did. This small(er) town has really grown on me even if we have to drive to "the city" for any decent shopping. I actually like the slower life. Living out here has really brought Rand and I closer together because for the first little while, we only had each other. It has helped us spiritually-we have a great ward that put us to work right away and keeps us active. We have made some awesome friends through our ward that are such great examples to me and are so much fun to hang out with! We were able to buy a house that we never would have been able to afford in Utah. Rands job is doing well and I am finally able to work in the field I have always wanted to. The list goes on and on! The last year has been good to us! Of course there are some down falls like unbearable humidity, nasty huge bugs, ice storms and tornado's... but all in all, living here has been a real blessing for us and we are happy!

I know what you mean. We have been in Cali for a little over a year and a half. I really had a hard time at first, but now I really love it here and I can not imagine living anywhere else right now. Ryan and mine's relationship got better too. We still at times only have each other(which is nice), but we too have made some really great friends out here! Excuse me for going on and on, but I just really know EXACTLY how you feel!
It does my heart good to hear you say that you are happy and doing well. We miss you here, but what more could we possibly want for you! How is the digital scrappin' going?
I have been meaning to tell you... when we were talking about me moving out, your mom or dad, I can't remember which, commented on how much easier it was to move the boys than the girls! I think it was your dad that said it took one car load just to take your shoes down to Snow. I was laughing hysterically!! I was like, I really like Hillary... Trace can't give me too hard of a time if his sister is the same way! I am glad you are having fun in Missouri! Your family is awesome.
hillary, i am so glad you like missouri. if you're ever driving through columbia, call us and stop by. that would be really fun. if you want some really good shopping, you should plan a trip to stl. my parents would love to have you stay. cousin emily
