The Simple Joys in Life

Ok, so I am definitely not the best blogger in the world. I think I would blog more if I would remember to pull out my camera once in a while. It's lame I know.
Abby started first grade today.:) I am so proud of how independent she is. (Something I certainly was not as a child.) When we walked into her class this morning there were several kids crying and very distraught over their parents leaving. Definitely a situation that could cause the other children in the class to feel somewhat apprehensive. Abby on the other hand informed me that she wasn't even nervous. I gave her a hug and kiss goodbye and that was that. I admire her so much.
Life here in Flagstaff is good! It's strange to think that this is where we'll most likely be settling down for good. Wade loves working for Gore! It's nice to finally be at this point in our lives. I'm so glad we get to live somewhere so beautiful. Just so you all know there's always an open invitation for anyone who would like a free place to stay and an opportunity to go see the Grand Canyon or Meteor Crater while you're at it. We love having visitors!
Ok, so I just have to mention how absolutely thrilled I am to be getting Suzanne Collins's newest book "Mockingjay" this week! The third book in the Hunger Games series for those of you who don't know. Wade informed me that it was shipped today!:) Now it's just a matter of anxiously waiting. Please Suzanne let it end the way I want it to. What would life be like without a really good book to lose yourself in once in awhile. For those of you who will also be spending this week in the world of Panem, happy reading!:) Go Peeta! It's true I may seem a little over the top, but hey, if your day began and ended with the changing of two diapers and one pull-up to boot you might feel the same way.
