I know many of you have inquired about my poor blogging the past few months but all I can say is please forgive me. It has been a challenge moving across the country and adjusting to this strange world they call El Paso, Texas.
I have had many requests to see the inside of our house so I am happy to give you a partial tour.
This is the view you would see right when you walk in our front door.
This is the ghetto loft we have not really decorated yet. We are not really sure what we are going to do. The door you see leads out to our balcony. We love to sit out there and watch the beautiful sunsets.
This is our beautiful new couch. I just LOVE it. Our other couch was destroyed by naughty little kitties. They don't seem to like the leather so problem is now solved. Whoo Hoo!
The view of our living room from the loft.
Our living room from another angle. Let me tell you how much we LOVE the fireplace. We have used it many times and it is so fun.
Our bedroom is right off the hall here. Not my favorite to have the master bedroom on the main floor but it was worth the sacrifice. The positive outweighed the negative in this case.
Our kitchen. Yes, that is a big window you see there. I absolutely love how much light comes into the house. There are HUGE windows in every room. It is great.
Our kitchen. A little small but bigger than we had in any place we have lived. The great thing is that Ben and I finally have enough space that we can cook together. Something we always enjoyed doing together but it was always difficult in a small kitchen.
Another view of our dining area off the kitchen and that ends our tour of the house.
This is Elder Eldredge. My cousin. He is serving here in El Paso and we were able to meet up with him and take him and his companion to lunch. My what a small world it is.
Ben and I love how kind the people are here. We are slowly settling into our routines. Ben has only worked 5 days since we moved here. Bringing it to a total of 8 weeks he has been home with me. Even though I love him to pieces I am ready for him to be back at work so I can get into a routine.
I have started working part time in sales for a member of our Bishopric. He is great and I really enjoy what I do. Ben is a little disappointed with this band because of what they do he won't be able to play his bassoon much. They do a lot of marching so he will most likely play the clarinet.
That about sums everything up. I just hope that there will be a time in the very near future when I feel at home again. Like I did in Maryland. I miss seeing my boys Brandon and Nato each week and loving on them when I am having a bad day. Many tears have been shed but at least technology has advanced so that we can talk on the phone, web cam and send mail. I miss you all my Maryland friends!
