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
