We made it!

Well, we're here in Vernal Utah! It's been about 2 weeks now since we left our home in Austin, Texas. So much has happened it's hard to fill you all in. We haven't gotten our internet hooked up yet, so we're making trips to our county library often to feel connected to the rest of the world!! So far so good though...we love our home (that's really our perk). We have nice neighbors, but haven't been here for church yet, so haven't met too many people so far. Connor is adjusting well, he had a hard weekend with me gone for a couple of days to see my friend Hannah in Chicago. Grandma and Grandpa Burton took good care of him though. Yesterday we took a short drive up the mountains to Red Fleet lake and hiked around...Connor was in heaven!! He was strapped to Mac the entire time and would not stop grinning and kicking his little feet. We're really going to have to take advantage of the great weather here this summer and take lots of hikes day trips with him. We took some great pictures too, but again don't have our internet so we'll post as soon as we are connected to you all. Mac starts work on Monday so we'll be sad for the vacation to end. I'm sure our neighbors are wondering if he even works since we're outside during the day most days working on our lawn and garden. We're doing good, but missing our friends and family back in Austin. Mac keeps reminding me the first month is the hardest, so I'm hoping it goes by quickly.

I'm so glad to hear that you've made it and, for the most part, things are going well. It really is tough leaving a place and people that you love, but hopefully things will get better for you. I still really miss Oregon, but I'm making friends here which makes it easier to be here. Anyway, good luck and I can't wait to hear more about your new place!
