Arriving in our new home in Bella Vista, Arkansas
















HI all, we made it here (I am still amazed that we all survived three days in the car, Jason of course drove too fast) and have been here for little over a week. The kids are finally settled in thier rooms and we have them unpacked and decorated. So far, we LOVE it. We are still searching to get settled in with jobs, and life in general but we are here and unpacked. A major feat, I had over 50 boxes .





I really can say that all of us miss "home" in California, we miss our old house and our family and friends. ALOT. I hope in time we will find new friends here and come to think of this as our home. Berri is also settling in, she is funny and gets let out of one door, then searches for a way to get back in the house by running around to all the doors, back, gargage and front. its funny. She needs a doggy door.
We took a walk the other night and the kids logged in thier journals the "interesting" things that they saw, including a red bird, blue bird, teeny tiny birds, many flowers, a cottontail bunny and pointy leaves. We found the creeks, lakes and community pool all to be great. we have also seen deer, turtles, and badgers while we have been driving around.
The weather had been SUPER hot, but has settled to just warm. Its humid and will take some getting used to, but we will adjust.
We have been searching for some property to buy and hopefully build our house on. Most days I just want to stay here and never move again.
