Living the Small City Life

So folks, according to my blog Christmas did not happen. I never got around to blogging about it and I really don't want to play that big of catch up so we will start with events that have happened more recently.


Yes, we moved to Brigham! Never in my life did I ever think I would live here. I said the same thing about Salt Lake and ended up loving it so we'll see if the same thing happens here :/ We moved into a brand new 4 bedroom 2 bath duplex with a 2-car garage and a little yard. And the KITCHEN! It's 3 times the size of my old one! This is a huge step up from where we were living before and big step down from the rent that we were paying. It has a very homey feel and we are grateful to be living in such a nice place. That being said, I have not adjusted to living in a small city. I got so used to everything being so close and right outside my door. Plus in SL everything was conveniently online, i.e. info on businesses, schools, recreation...so not the case here in Brigham.


But another plus is having my family much closer. It is very easy to get a babysitter nowadays. I even had my mom watch the kids twice last week *gasp*. I never want to take advantage of my family but my mom assured me I have a long way to go before that happens. I'm just so used to doing everything on my own and finding a way to do things with 3 kids in tow that this alone is a big adjustment but one I will gladly go with. The kids are also in love with having their grandparents and cousins closer. Jayla was sad to move at first because she had so many good friends at school and church but her, Blake, and Melia have adjusted very well. It will be interesting to see how our new life develops living the small city life.
