Rain to Snow....three words I hate!

Today in the wonderful city of Sioux Falls we are experiencing rain turning to snow...ugh! Truth is I don't mind rain and I don't mind snow but mix the two and I get a little annoyed! I drive 10 miles to and from work, not a long distance until you factor in the white knuckles! Well anyway, the drive to work wasn't so bad other then the two rocks that got me. I hope the drive home is good too but thats when the snow will come into play:(

We had a wonderful weekend! D was home and we attended the State "B" wrestling tournment. D was an accomplished wrestler in high school and we really want C to follow in his footsteps, so we thought it would be a good chance to spark a little interest. We sat with the fans from Deuel and had a wonderful time getting to know some of the wrestling families. C and G were so good for the 5 hours we were there. I think they really enjoyed themselves too! On Sunday we took our weekly trip to Wal-Mart and dropped a boat load of money, but I think we are good for at least 2 weeks. I think that I actually save money doing it all at once, well I know I do since I can't get out of that store for less then $50 at a time! D took off for Watertown last night, he has to work early all week and with the bad weather we didnt want to take any chances!

We decided to list our house with a realtor. We have been trying to sell it on our own but to no avail! She is coming on Sunday to get things going. I am very excited to move, although we've lived here for almost 10 years it just hasn't felt like home. We havent been as involved in the community as I would like, and we've never ventured out to find a church that fits us. At times I feel lost like I don't know where or how to sign C up for tee ball or things like that. I'm eager to move back so that we can have that community involvement and find a church home. I am also very excited to be close to our families! We are building on D's parents land about 2 miles from them. It's in the country we'll have 7 acres... I cant wait! And my parents will be a 30 minute drive instead of a hour and a half!

Enough of me going on and on! Happy Monday Everyone!

Its exciting that you are moving closer to home! I'm sure your parents are excited to have those granbabies closer! I know what you mean about fitting into a community. Craig and I have been happy here in Wtn. and don't plan on moving anytime soon. Although, I know Dave and Connie want us in SF but all of my family is here and so is Craig's so we will stay. I love our church and we are very involved in it so it would be hard to leave. Good luck on your move and can't wait to hear more!

Welcome back to H20town, Rachel, or at least much closer. Thanx for entering the bloggin' world and leaving a shout-out on the murch blog.

You know, Rachel, tomorrow Feb 26th is the third year without Robert. I bet you have some Robert memories you could share. I'd love to hear them.

Love to ya! care
