Lots to post!

I have posted some older stuff in trying to get caught up!
*We are officially moved to UTAH!*
Wow it has been a long process to get all moved and settled. But we are almost feeling like we live here. Jeff is slowly liking his job better. The kids are making friends and enjoying every chance they can get to ride their bikes. I am trying to adjust to not working-I always have so it is very different for me. I plan to get back to work once the kids are all back in school. It has been nice to have the time to get things unpacked and just spend some time with the boys. I took them one on one shopping for school clothes this past weekend. It was nice to enjoy them as individuals. :) They are definitely a hand full when they are together! There is a big part of me that can't wait for school to start again.
We REALLY enjoy the fact that we can go mountain biking as a family and it only takes 15 minutes to get up to the trails. We have made a lot of trips already this summer. Gonna go camping for the first time back next weekend-Can't wait!
I miss all my friends and co-workers from Denver a lot! I just think that about 5 years ago I was moving out of Utah for the first time in my life. I was missing all my family & friends and NEVER was going to like Denver. I will admit I was not happy there the first year or so. But I jumped in and went back to church! What a blessing! The GVR ward was AMAZING! I know that Heavenly Father knew that is what I needed at that time in my life. So here I am trying to get used to the Harrisville 4th ward asking Heavenly Father if this is really where we are suppose to be. I'm trying to have faith that this is going to be what is best for us. I know that we are being guided to where we need to be at this point in our journey.
It is all part of the Journey called life.

Alexis' First Visit with the Jasz Family

So if you are not aware, Jeff was married before and has a daughter named Alexis. She was adopted as a baby when her mom was remarried. Then they moved to Missouri, where she has lived ever since. Because of the distance and lack of communication we have never been able to meet and get to know her in person. We have sent letters and emails and then recently Facebook. Since I posted on facebook about moving to Utah and noticed that she was going to be in Utah visiting her grandparents we thought it would be a great chance to meet up in person. She was very accepting of us and our kids. We spent the first couple hours just getting to know each other better. She had some questions about the past for Jeff. I kind of just watched and listened and it was CRAZY how some things they both have in common, for never being around each other. She is such a sweet, fun and smart girl. Keep up the GREAT work Alexis! We're so glad that we had this opportunity. Now we are gonna try and figure out how to get to see her more.
