Tomorrow it will be 2 weeks since we moved to Logan. Here are some of the things I love about living here: #1 living close to family once again. I was missing family so much. Jodi lives minutes away, Dayna is about 10, so is my brother Tony, Mike is probably 15-20 min., My mom is 30 min., and Ben's dad is 30 min. Pretty darn awesome.#2 I love the scenery.#3 I love that I feel safe, not that I didn't in Vegas I am just more at ease here. #4 I love my kids school and so do they. #4 " I love to see the temple". #5 Ben loves his job. #6 Church music on the radio on Sundays. I know there is more but I can't think anymore.
The last couple of weeks have been good. I have loved being with family. My sister drops by a lot, which I love. I was even able to spend the day with my Grandma Losee yesterday. We are still unpacking:( I will admit I have been a little lazy about the unpacking. We have what we need and I am just taking my time getting to everything else. The kids have made a lot of friends, a majority of them being right here in our neighborhood. They seem to be thriving. I have had to dig out the warm clothes once again. It has been pretty darn cold. As much as I loved the warmth of Vegas, I think I forgot how much I love fall!!!! As I have thought a lot about life the last couple of weeks I know without a doubt we are where we are supposed to be right now. I don't know why we were only able to spend a year and a half in Vegas. I do know that I am stronger and more sure of myself and my family. I made friendships in Vegas that will last forever. I came to love so many people down there. It was one of the best experiences in my life. I have really been missing my Dad. I think that is pretty normal. It has only been 2 months since we lost him, but I know that he is where he is supposed to be and I know that he is happy and doing things he has wanted to do for a long time. I am so thankful for the gospel and the knowledge it gives me. I know that my dad is still around and I know that one day I will be reunited with him. I know that everything Ben and I have gone through the last 5 years has been for our good. Just some thoughts I have been having.
To all my friends in Vegas, thank you for your friendships and examples. My life will never be the same because of you. I hope to see you soon:) Make room for me this winter because I will need to come and thaw out.
This is the view from the back of our house. I have missed these mountains.
I get to see this several times a day.

I'm so jealous of how gorgeous it is in Logan and that you get to drive by the temple so often. I'm so glad that you are feeling good about being there. We miss you guys a ton already, and it's going to be weird not all being in Primary together anymore with our new callings. I'm so glad things are falling into place for you. You deserve a good break. I hope things continue on an upward path for a while at least. Looking forward to your first visit.
