Settling in out west....

Hello bloggers.

We are finally settling in to our new place here in Parker. The last few days have been so busy. We left Indianapolis Wednesday morning at 7 am and drove to Lawrence, Kansas (2nd place in the God's country status). We walked around Lawrence and shopped some. I love it there! Then we headed to our hotel in Topeka. There is not much happening in Topeka! Thursday morning we were off again headed for Parker. We got here at about 2pm mountain time (we're 2 hours behind Indianapolis people and will always be- I checked and we have DST). Thursday afternoon to right now (late Saturday evening) has been a blur. We have not stopped going the whole time. I just wanted to be settled! We are now. The bedrooms are unpacked, the bathrooms are all setup, the kitchen is complete- it feels great! I got all new pottery barn furniture for my home office/guest room. It looks so cute. The bedford collection- check it out. In black, of course.

Jackson's mom has been a huge help. Today she got on her hands and knees to scrub the floors! What a champ! (Side note: I totally would have done this myself except my knee-cap is still cracked and she insisted that being Cinderella was fine with her) Anyway, we really appreciate all of her help.

The stress of all of this moving and settling has taken its toll. Jackson has never gotten on my nerves more!!! ARG!!!!! I'm ready for a routine so this madness stops.

Tonight we showed Susie the huge mall here, Park Meadows. I was far more excited than she was to see it in all of its glory. My mom will love it. So there. ;)

Speaking of, my mom is coming out to visit this coming weekend. Susie heads home on Tuesday morning then Deb will be here Friday. I call this my baby steps process. Then August 30 we head to Evansville to Leo (Kylie's) wedding. We got some scary news about Nick the other day and have kept him in our prayers. We hope that the lung specialist delivers only good news. This is such a happy time and we pray that this ailment won't overshadow that.

I start work on Monday at 8:30- I'm so nervous! I think I will like what I am doing but the idea of working full-time again stinks! (That is for you, Guy.) Jackson has some work stuff Monday too. I think he's equally nervous! (He is complaining that I do not give enough detail about him. I say type it yourself, bum!)

We are headed to a big church tomorrow morning that I think will be our new home church. I like big churches because I hate when you miss a week and someone notices. Ugh, leave me alone! Maybe I visited another church! Maybe I attended bedside baptist! Give it up. Anyway, I find that their music is normally better and the pastors have to really prepare great sermons since there are 5,000 people listening.

Well Susie wants to go to bed now so I will end this monster of a blog.

Hope all is well with all of you!

Love,
Jenna
(and Jackson, ugh)

P.S. Cort I will do my "tag" tomorrow! ;) I really enjoyed yours!
