Well, the transition has ended and we are officially here! Payson, UT is our new home. We uprooted and moved 5 hours north of home and, in all honesty, it feels like we have entered an alternate universe.
There are clouds here. One morning this past week as we were walking to school, the kids could not quit staring at the clouds, "Mom! That cloud is sitting right on top of that mountain!" It was a very slow walk, but, YES! We have mountains too.
On my morning walk/jog, I had a nice chat with 5 deer, which happen to frequent the field that resides a football field east of our house.
Sadly, I go to the grocery store and I know NOBODY. I catch up on no friendly news. Nor do I set up my visiting teaching appointments. Sadly, the grocery store is just a grocery store! And oh how we miss the two hardware stores that were a mile away from us! They could have made a killing on our "finishing the basement " venture :)
Speaking of which. I drove to Costco yesterday, simply because it was Friday and I didn't want to make lunch. Can you say samples? Can you say alternate universe?
It is August and the trees don't look like they are going to spontaneously combust! Sam, Gary, and I went to Farmer's Market last week. There was SO MUCH PRODUCE :)! But alas, no figs :(
I can't keep up with the online yard sale. It goes too fast and it would be a full time job! I quit!
Jared teaches in a Seminary that looks like a Grade School! Next to a high school that looks like a Jr. College! Gone are the days of "let's go to the church to see dad!"
Did I mention that it RAINED here! Hands down, I think we might be living in the most beautiful place on earth!
Just like Overton, Payson is full of good people! We a re a little homesick for "The Village" :(
All in all, life is good, let the root planting begin!
