Well we've been here in Florida for two weeks now. I'm finally feeling comfortable about driving around on my own and I know where things are. At least the important things like the Mall, Target, McDonald's ect Lol! I am completely used to the humidity now and it actually doesn't bother me like I thought it would.
We love our new Ward, the members are so friendly and love to come up to us and introduce themselves. We also have our best friends in our ward so it makes it really nice to have someone to sit by in relief society :)
We've been to the beach three times now and just can't get enough. We're excited to be able to go all through the winter!
I thought it would be a huge adjustment with the downsize of our house. And in the beginning it was! But now I am totally comfortable and happy with our little house :) All that matters is that we have a roof over our head and we are together as a family. Nothing else matters.
One thing that has changed tremendously is Trae being in all day kindergarten here. It is such a blessing in my life! Lol don't get me wrong I love my baby..but anyone who knows my precious little Trae will totally understand this! Having him at school for 7 hours makes my life a little easier. And when it is time for him to come home I am so excited to see him! He has a great teacher and is already learning so much. It is just as good for him to be in all day school as it is for me! Also I love spending one on one time with my little Brody. It's really important to me that we have our one on one time before the baby comes. My boys are growing up so fast. It's so scary! I want them to be my baby boys forever.
Being out here has made me appreciate my family in Utah so much more. It's only been two weeks and I already miss them more than words can say. It's so sad that I was able to see them whenever I wanted but just took it for granted. Now I would give anything to just have a hug from my mommy and Daddy :( I can't think about it too often or I break down. I'll be fine, it's normal to feel like this I know that. But I want my fam to know how much I love them and miss them! I haven't called my mom crying or anything because I don't want her to feel bad, but believe me there have been many nights where I have cried and cried and cried myself to sleep. It's actually kind of healing.
But all in all Florida is treating us very nicely and we love it here!

I think your house is really cute! Basically nowadays ANYTHING looks desirable to live in right now than where I am. haha. im in an upstairs attic type house thing. I'm so glad things are going well for you! Thats so nice that you have Ashley and them around you. And yes, I bet that is very nice to have Trae in school. That gives you a break and a place where he can get out all his energy. I love you guys and miss you! I'm so happy that your all adjusting well:)
You made me cry reading your blog. I can relate so much when we moved from California to Utah almost 17 years ago. I cried a lot for my family too. I miss you guys so much but I know everything will be ok and Heavenly Father will pave a way for us to see each other more than we think money can buy. I'm sooooo excited to come in November!!! I love you soooooo much mom
