Getting Settled

Well we've both made it to Minnesota and it's so clear to us that this really is what Heavenly Father wanted us to do, as everything seems to just be falling into place for us. It's been wonderful. Since we've arrived, we've found a job for Rob that will give him the pay and hours he needs to support us over the summer. We've also found a place to rent that is absolutely wonderful and meets our needs. It is this little three bedroom house on a farmhouse property, we're renting it from the sweetest lady in the world. See the picture!!:



We're so excited. The garage is about as big as the house!

Two cars can fit in the garage door opening, and then tons more space right there through the door. Rob really likes that! :) It's in my parent's ward, which Rob was nervous about at first, but has become ok with it. It's a big ward, lots of younger families and couples that we've started making friends with.

Rob has been getting a bit of cabin fever as he's been waiting for his job to start, so we took an outing to visit Red Wing, the town that I grew up in. It was fun to spend the day together and for him to see where I grew up. Here is a picture of us at Memorial Park with a beautiful view of the city:


And here is another of just me and the baby bump:


I'm 33 weeks along, only 7 more to go (hopefully). He's getting to be quite the kicker, pretty painful at times. And I get up to use the bathroom on average of 3 times a night. It gets old, but I'm just getting used to having disrupted sleep. We're so excited to have little Ryan come, he will be such a blessing to us.

We're so grateful that everything is working out so smoothly and that we're being so blessed. It's also been so wonderful to be around my family, I have missed them so much.

That IS the house I was thinking of. So cute!! I was in Red Wing for the first time on Sunday. Love that town. Glad you're staying in our ward.

it's random that I saw this post since Bryan and I were at the temple last night and have decided that we will be moving back to MN/WI at the end of the summer. Once you've lived there it's hard to live anywhere else.

You guys seem so happy! I'm happy for you guys! Enjoy these nights where you may have disrupted sleep, but they are quiet and quick disruptions that you will wish you had back in comparison to when your little guy comes! haha, I'm kidding. Parenthood is awesome!
