Moving In

My apologies for this being so late. I wish I had a good excuse but I don't.
We are now in our house! Many of you already know this, but there are also many who think we're still in the dreadful hotel. So I hope this clears things up for you.
We only have a few more boxes to unpack, but it'll be another month or so before my mom doesn't feel the urge to move things around anymore. I'm hoping that happens sooner than later for the kitchen cause I'm tired of opening every single drawer and cupboard before I find the silverware. That being said, my mom also has the amazing talent of making our house look decorated and beautiful within a week so I can't complain much :)
All of the kids are slowly getting accustomed to school and finding their way around. The biggest problem for them so far is understanding what their teachers are saying. It also doesn't help when they ask for the teachers to repeat what they've said. They happily comply, but it's at the same speed as it was before. It's not until they specifically ask them to slow down that any progress is made. I'm starting to think that we Americans must sound pretty stupid because we talk so dang slow.
My (Logan's) online schooling is going great as well :) I've been applying for colleges in the states recently and pray everyday that I'll get accepted to something. Cross your fingers for me!
Our Branch has been so friendly to us as well. We are all making great friends, and are actually having an American Football Party at our house Monday week (a week from Monday in Irish). We've invited the whole Branch to watch the Greenbay Packer's game that day. We're going to have some American football party snacks to see what they think of them. Chips and salsa, seven layer dip, pretty much Mexican food (which doesn't exist here sadly).
To all those who are coming to visit, or want to come and visit, Please do! We would LOVE to have you all come and share this great adventure with us. We made sure to get a house that has room for guests, so visitors are not just welcome but expected.
In the next blog are some pictures of our house. Instead of trying to match up my writing to the picture I'll explain here what the pictures are. The ones of the house are self explanatory. There's a smaller building that serves as our shed. The one of the green pastures is the the view from our door if you look toward the left. The asphalt road leading past the shed to the gate is also the view from the front door, but this time looking to the right. The last one is of a road we were driving on a while back that I think you guys would enjoy :) not close to our house but still pretty cool.
