Trying to find a place called home!

Well it has been a little while since I last checked in. We have had a good last couple of weeks. My family came up from Burley last weekend and it was so fun. It was good to see familiar faces and to spend time with them. We did a little shopping and just hung out. What a blast!! Clay has been super busy with the new job and trying to get everything figured out. Still!! Hopefully one day he will have everything under control. Ryley and I have just been hanging out and having fun. She is starting to become my big helper. Just check out the cookie pictures. We had a mess. She is just so fun and has the cutest little personality. So since we got up here we have been looking around for a house and a nice area to live in. We found this house that is like 30 seconds from where we live now and are so in love with it. So we put in an offer this morning and are trying to make it work with the last owner but she is kind of putting a damper on everything. So we will see how things go and keep you updated. We really would just like to find a place that we can call our own and make our own. So we will keep looking and praying for the right thing. Hopefully something will work for our benefit and we will love it. As long as we are together we will be just fine.

Just a little update!

Well I just thought I would clue you in on Washington a little bit and why we are here for those of you who don't know. Clay was offered a job as a potato equipment salesman for Double L Manufacturing out of American Falls, Idaho. It was such a good opportunity that we couldn't pass it up. So that brought us here to the Tri-Citites area of the state of Washington. It is a beautiful area with lots of new things to see and do and explore. The area reminds me a lot of the Twin Falls area. It is not a busy city like I thought it was going to be. It seems to me that it is pretty much running off the farms and plants that are around here. In this area alone actually grows more potatoes than the whole state of Idaho. There is a lot of farm land. We are so close to everything. We are at the most 10 minutes from anything. The temple is 7 minutes from our house and it is beautiful. I am so excited to live so close to the temple. Our ward is the fastest growing ward in the state of Washington. There are 600 members, only about 300 attend sacrament every week. They have at least 1 to 3 new families a week join the ward. This is my favorite part cause it is absolutely crazy. There are 80 kids under the age of 3. The nursery consists of 55 kids and about 22 adults. They have to have nursery in the gym because they don't have enough classrooms to seperate the nursery into age groups. Can you only imagine what snack time is like?!?! There are about 180 kids in the primary. They are actually going to be splitting the ward to help with all the people. So crazy, I know. I have a feeling that this is going to be a good place for us to meet new people and have some friends around our age. Very exciting. Well I guess that is about it for now. C-ya

Welcome to Washington

Well we have finally made it here to good ol Pasco, Washington. After quite the ordeal with the whole moving company, we are finally done with them and on our own. We are totally unpacked and trying to make things work here. Ryley and I have done a little exploring around to find new things to do and see. Clay is off to his new job and loving it. Just his cup of tea. Farmers, crops, equipment and talking. Things he knows best. It makes Clay feel a little more at home to be around the farming industry. I am adjusting fairly well but still miss home and am ready to met some new friends but that will all come with time. So all in all everything is good.
