Nellis

Well, life is maybe calming down. We are here at Nellis AFB, and things are falling into place. We were in Temporary Lodging for only 12 days, and when we walked into housing (day 9) we found out there was no wait list for our rank for housing, 2 houses were open, and we just needed to hear from the other family looking at them which one they wanted. So... we waited until 4:10 when we were given our address, but could sign a contract or move in until the next Monday. So now, we have been here for 3 days. It is coming together the best it can. The girls have their bed up, as well as we haven been given a bed to use while we wait for our house-hold goods to make it from Alaska.

Our house is beautiful. We have a 4 bedroom, 2.5 baths, 1890 sq ft home. None of interior walls touch the other family's side of the duplex. It is only our Garages that share a wall. Randy is excited for a two car garage. I have a Wonderful kitchen, it even has a pantry, and a broom closet. I LOVE my laundry room. It has a utility sink, and lots of cabinets, even a place to put my freezer. The rooms are good size, and the floor plan works well, especially since we have no furniture. The only downer is that it has been smoked in and it Smells. I have been using vinegar and baking soda to try to get the oder out; but it is a slow process.

The ward is amazing. It has 164 kids in primary (not including nursery) and 4 nurseries. Kimber loves having so many kids around. The ward is also really welcoming, and I have been blessed with a gal who already has taken me in (I get to do laundry, and gave me a vacuum, and made me dinner.)

I am excited about this new adventure. I am also extremely grateful that Heavenly Father has been taking such good care of me, and listening to my prayers. He has also given me much needed patients, and tons of comfort.

Thank you everyone for all your love and support. I love my friends and family in Alaska, and Kansas, and couldn't have done all this with out you.

Pictures to come!
