New House

Ok...so we were accepted to rent a house from friends since they currently live out of state. It is a 3 bedroom ranch style house. Lots of space. We also acquired 2 cats from a friend. They are both 8 months old. The black cat is named Zora Ravenclaw and the white cat is named Princopher Pugsley. They are both getting use to the new place.

Zora gets her stitches out this week and hopefully we Prince fixed as well. They are a real treat to have with our family. They are crazy silly at times and very snuggly others. They sleep with us at night. Both easily scared still...Zora more than Prince.

Brycen is growing like a weed and loving his new space and his room. He loves the cats, but sometimes goes to fast at them and scare them (we are working at that). He loves going to school, but doesnt like some of his peers. At we keep telling him; kids can be mean; just remember that you are loved inside your house.

Mike is working hard at work and at church. He doesnt like getting up and leaving for work but knows that there is a goal at the end of the tunnel. He is still doing online school through Cayuga Community College in Auburn.

I am working full-time and taking a class on tuesday nights until May. I also help a friend with her group Fun Without Food. Unpacking is driving me nuts. I would rather dive into a swimming pool full of double edged razor blades than move again.

We got our dish working so we can actually watch TV instead of movies all the time or video games. Life, is looking up right now. Just taking it one day at a time. That is all I can muster.

The snow is falling and the wind is hollowing. Not loving the fact that winter is here and that I have to leave my warm and comfy house and drive in it. I would much prefer staying home and snuggling on my couch.

Thank you to all who have supported us and helped us these last few months. You all know who you are and the blessings will be poured out.

Love,
Leah - Mike - Brycen - Zora & Prince

January 2011

We have been able to rent a house not far from mom and dad. We painted brycen's room dark blue; our room midnight blue; living room green and the dining room white. The hall will be egg shell white after we are done moving all of our stuff in.

We are getting 2 new members to our family. Their names are Zora and Prince. They are cats. They are kittens. Prince is calico and Zora is black. Their original owners still have visitation rights.

January 8th we are moving all of our belongings into the house. It is a truly cute 3 bedroom house. There is an attic that runs the whole length of the house. It sits on 1.9 acres of land. It makes for a cozy little diamond in the rough.

We have a planned vacation for this summer that is all paid for. We are so excited for the this year and all that is planned for it.

We love all of our family and those who have supported us through the years. Also, Mike still is the ward clerk. I am the sunday school teacher for the 12 - 14 year olds. And, brycen is in a new class in primary.

I will let you know next month how the move went and all that has transpired for January. Be safe and happy.
