SIMPLY US: The Winds of Change....

Fall is coming, I can feel it. I always get excited at this time of year, when the season starts to change. It seems like summer is the time of year where you are always on the go and fall is when you hunker down and stay home. Well I love fall...and I love to hunker down, so it is the perfect time of year for me! It is especially exciting this year, being in our new home! I get so excited about every fall decoration I put up and at the thought of watching the leaves change color on the mountain behind us. Everyday I wake up in this home so thankful for my life. We are starting to feel like we are "Willardites" more and more everyday. At first we had some concerns about moving to such a "conservative" area, but the people here couldn't possibly be any more awesome! I love the small town feel of it here, but with the convienence of being only 10-15 minutes away from a Walmart or grocery store. Aspen is growing like crazy, she already acts like a teenager, so it frightens me to think what it is going to be like when she actually is one. She has found a little group of girls in the neighborhood that she runs around with daily. Listening to them play and the things they talk about cracks me up! I am so happy for her because she has needed interaction with kids her age for so long! She is also doing well in preschool! We have been really impressed with her teachers and with all the cute things they do in school! After school on Wednesdays, Aspen has gymnastics! This is the highlight of her week! She is so incredibly cute in her little leotard doing her summersaults!!! I think she is a natural for sure ;). She is also in soccer....and she doesn't so much love it. I am not sure why, she liked it the first day and since then she says she doesn't want to go. We always tell her she has to go since she part of the team and they are counting on her. When she gets there she shows very little interest in the game and spends the majority of her time trying to talk to other players, trying to race or play tag with other players or spinning in circles. I guess she is my mini-me, LOL! She is such a funny kid!
Justin and I spend the majority of our time working on the house. It is sooooo much fun! I will post pics of our progress soon!!
I made a big change and quit my job at Legacy. THis was huge since I have been employed there for over 4 years. I now work for Alpine Homecare and Alpine Transitional Rehab in Brigham City. This cuts down on my commute considerably. This was a hard change for me, but I can already tell it is the right decision.
Okay.....gooooood Lord that was a long ol' rambling post. For making it through all that you deserve a reward!!
And last but not least, the good part, here are the pics:
