Settled In

I feel like we've finally settled into our new home, ward, and routine. We're working on getting the summer garden planted and the new irrigation put in. We started cleaning out the pool and getting it ready for the summer. We're also practicing to sing at the ward party next Saturday with some friends in the ward, and that has been fun. Soccer continues on each week. Work continues on. The sunshine and heat are back, and are probably here to stay. Don's job may see some changes because of the budget crunch that the state and county are feeling, but the critter gitter jobs are are holding steady. We did a couple of critter jobs this week. The biggest one was excluding a flock of pigeons that had taken over a man's front porch and the side of his house (they are SO messy!). The pigeons were not very happy with us when we left, but the man was. But the best thing we did this week was to go with about 30 of the youth from our ward up to the Mesa temple on Friday. It was a great day, and we very much enjoyed being there and being in such good company!

I posted pictures several months ago of this house (we moved in last July), but a couple of you who didn't see the pictures then wanted to see them now. So, here you go!
