A Few Things

Just a quick update on some things. My camera broke so that explains the blog slacking. Avery turned 1 on the 17th. (This being the day my camera died) so I have no pics to show for it. She's doing great though. Very healthy, walking everywhere. She's very naughty since she started walking though, but she loves her new found independence. Jeremy turned the big 31 on the 22nd. He is loving school so far. It's been very busy with lots of reading but has been great to manage family time with school. He started his internship in San Fransisco at a clinic that deals with drug and alcohol abuse and has had a lot of fun so far. We have been missing our dog Halo. Well mostly me because every time I go running I wish she was with me, for safety and company. Trey still talks about her and calls Avery Halo and tries to make her crawl on her hands. She usually just turns around and walks the other way hoping to avoid the game. They have learned to play together and it's been great. He will try and get her to play something with him but she usually just wants to destroy whatever he's done. We finally got our car back. For those of you who don't know, about a week before we moved out here I was rear ended. We had just bought the 4runner, so we hadn't even had it for a month and the back end was totaled! So we had to deal with all that as well as moving. But we just got it back and it's been great! The weather has been so nice down here. It was 85 yesterday, can't complain about that. (although, I can't remember the last time I got a sunburn in October). The kids seem to have adjusted well so far. We've met some really nice people in our ward. Trey has loved going to nursery. There is a TON of little boys out here for him to play with. I've been figuring out ways to save us money on little things that we took for granted back home. Gym memberships out here are insane. We haven't found anything under $50 yet, and it doesn't even include the daycare. I've just been running around the complex, and doing weights in the house. It seems to be working just fine. Getting your hair done out here is also crazy expensive. It's like 100 dollars for a cut and color. So I resorted to the school of Paul Mitchell Hair. It's down the street and they will cut my hair for 10 bucks and color it for 25...i know, kind of scary, but they have to be supervised.(Sorry Ashley, I can hear you cussing me) I've learned to cut Trey's hair. We don't eat out anymore either. Maybe like once a week is all. It's been a lot of fun though. We have so much around us. There is a Jelly Belly factory about 30 min away. The big national Redwood forest is about an hour away. San Fransisco is about 25 minutes away and it doesn't get old, we always see something new (and sometimes inappropriate) every time we go. Legoland is about an hour and 1/2 away too. Anyways, it's been a great experience so far. I will try and get a camera this week for Halloween pictures. Stay tuned...
