Ok, so I knew moving here was going to be a HUGE life change. Now, don't get me wrong, we absolutely LOVE it here. Yes, it is hot, but not too hot... Only 90(ish)! At night it cools to a nice cool 80 degrees. :) But seriously, it is not that bad!! So I knew it would be a huge life change. But seriously... I can't quite seem to get use to the smell of COWS every time I walk out of the house. Every now and then I will be outside and I start to wonder "what is that smell???" oh yeah, that would be COW MANURE!!! But there is that small part of me that kinda likes it. Not the smell, mind you, but the idea that we are so close to Phoenix - the 5th largest city in the US - and yet, here in Gilbert, we still have cows and farms and it's kinda like living out in the country. That is what I like.
I can't tell you how much we love it here. The people are sooo nice and they are sooo happy!! They are friendly and just really wonderful people. I am still on the hunt for a job, and I was complaining about feeling useless, then a friend set me straight. She told me to enjoy the time God has given me to be home and not have the huge stress in my life that I have the last 11+ years. So, that is what I am doing. I am enjoying the time that David and I are able to be home all day with the kids and each other. We haven't had that our entire married life and I think I do need to enjoy it. Once we both get jobs, and most likely will be working opposite shifts from each other, we won't have time to see each other and just hang out and talk. So thank you, Joella, for your wisdom and advice. I truly appreciate it.

It could be all the cow manure smell is worse right now because we all just planted winter grass. But even if that's not it, it's not TOO bad!
Hey Brenda we sing songs about the cows at our house. Just don't drive east on Elloitt toward Ellsworth. You'll really think your in the country :0
