Trailer Life

Yesterday was the big move and all went well...except for the fact that we got a whole 5 MPG pulling the trailer up here. Ouch! Daniel was excited to sleep in his new bunk bed. He actually slept all through the night and has had no trouble with the bunk ladder. Jaxon is having issues touching all the buttons but other than that we are very comfortable. We went swimming at the pool and checked out the laundry room & play area. It is all very nice for a camp ground. Johnny bought me my own roll out grass. Yeah! This lifestyle is going to take some getting used to, but for the most part I am just excited to be with Johnny again.

Here are a few little things I have learned in my one whole day of trailer life...

1. 2.5 gallons of hot water does not last long enough for me to shave my legs.

2. Everything must be picked up constantly or we will be walking on top of each other.

3. I have to start saving my quarters for laundry day.

4. Read the instructions before trying to light the oven pilot light or the trailer will smell like propane and everyone will become light headed.

5. I will have to grocery shop almost every other day to accommodate our tiny refrigerator.

Today we had our first day in the Agua Dulce ward. The church is the same no matter where you go! We were VERY warmly welcomed. A ward this small is super excited to have new people move in. When I say small I mean Jaxon was one of 4 kids in nursery and Johnny was one of 7 in Elders Quorum. There were maybe 15-20 women in RS. We are definitely not in Mesa anymore! Sacrament meeting was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. My kids were by far the loudest and we were sitting behind a family of 7 children all age 7 and under! The Bishop called us in to his office with the RS Pres., the Elders Quorum Pres., and the ward clerk to make sure we will be well taken care of especially when the new baby comes. I have already been invited to a baby shower, enrichment, a feed the poor activity, and the Elders Quorum activity at McDonalds on Sat. morning.

Tomorrow we go exploring to find some fun activities for the boys such as parks and malls. I also need to find grocery stores. Finding food for Jaxon has been difficult so far, but I was told about a few places I am going to try and locate. Thank you Jena for the shipment of Gluten free spelt bread. You are a life saver! Since we are right in the middle of Santa Clarita and Palmdale/Lancaster I have options in both directions. This should be the first of many adventures.
