Harooo!
Hello loved ones! I have decided that since John and I are so far away, that we should have a blog that lets people know how we are doing. I should hope that this inspires others to do so, because I love love love to know how everyone is doing. For those that do not know; John and I have moved to Great Falls, Montana. It has been a journey. We got here in June and have been exploring our new surroundings as often as we can. It is amazingly beautiful in this part of the US… and Canada as we have found out! We have some great new friends and an amazing church that we are falling more and more in love with. Due to cold weather we have been playing a lot of racquetball, which is a lot of fun and pretty funny when I hit myself in the throat with the ball.
The puppy dogs are great! They were not too thrilled about the few days that we had that were -20 degrees, but other than that they have been crazy little beasts running a muck in our backyard.
John is a Missileer and has started pulling three day alerts. It is all very new and interesting. I am so proud of how hard he works, and how he still manages to be the most wonderfully loving and precious husband ever! I finally have a job after months of unemployment due to moving around and getting settled. I work at a childcare center called Bright Horizons. It is a corporate childcare facility that has centers all over america. They are hired by large businesses, such as IBM, to build an on base center where their employees can send there children. I am a teacher in the infant room, and loving it!! The babies are precious. I am now convinced that I will not be surprised by anything when I have babies…haha.
John and I are finally settled and loving it!! And as for a more current post, which the rest of them should be like, John and I had our date night tonight. It was fun! We went to our NEW Chili’s…hahaha!! We shared a steak, and then drove around drinking our Starbucks and looking at cute little houses! Plus what is even more exciting is that John just purchased a new camera…a Nikon D300 that he has literally been dreaming about for the past month. So expect some pretty neat pictures to show up pretty soon. Well…that is about all there is to tell. I miss you all terribly!!
Love, Me

Ellen, you are too clever. This is so handy. Mimi is here and going to her doc appt. today. If all is well, she will be starting her strength building rehab. We are also going to start picking out new carpet, sinks,etc. for her new home. Dad and I are going to San Antonio this weekend for a conference. We get to play golf on Saturday at La Cantera….a very beautiful golf course between Austin and San Antonio. Wayback Inn was magical…again. The old fireplace draws particularly well and makes using it a real treat. You and John should try it next time you’re there! It’s very romantic…. We love you sweet Tigger….

Hi Guys
Its so good to hear from you so often.
we are closer than the miles suggest.
Ellie..The Job sounds really good, hopefully they will be good for you & will adore you. John.. I could be a little jealous a D300 let me know how you get on with it & whether it is any good.
Right now Great Falls sounds the sort of place we would like to be. The builders are working on the house holes are being bashed through walls , dust is everywhere, stuff is everywhere & the front of the house looks like a tornado has passed by.. but we are so close to having a wonderfully modernised house. We are really excited.
(excepted the builders didnt turn up today)
Kelley is working really hard as ever.I am going to have a 3month sabbatical from work starting June which will be good. They have said I can just walk back into the job at the end. Joy has just applied for 6th form college (Honestly.. I’m not that old am I)
really looking forward to seeing you all in the summer.
Oh just so you know this is my 1st ever blog..
Love Paul & K.J.H.J.BenH & R
