Wow, what an adventure the past few months have been. For those of you who may not know, we have moved. It came as a surprise to all of us, but when you are told to do something by the Lord, we have learned that you better act. So we did. Hopefully I can make a long story somewhat short as follows. About the middle of May, Jeff and I both had the feeling to put our house up for sale. Not knowing why, or where we would go, just knowing that we were supose to move. We met with an amazing realtor on Tuesday, she put the home up on Thursday and by Monday morning it was under contract. So we looked at homes and while looking at one in Farmington, we knew that we found the house for us. And on June 24th we moved into our new home. The home is great and the neighbors are fantastic. We have felt loved and welcomed ever since we they showed up to help unpack the truck. We truely are belssed to have such great neighbors and ward Family. We love being closer to family and don't know how we made it so long without them so close, oh wait we had wonderful neighbors and friends!! Thanks to all of you and you know who you are. We love you and miss you all.
As for adjusting to everything, I would have to say the biggest one for me is the fact that I can jump on the freeway in a matter of minutes and don't have to take the back roads everywhere. Sadly I find myself taking the back roads more often then not partly because they are less busy and that is another adjustment that I am still making, the faster pace to life and the more people. I had to laugh when I got the City newsletter and they talked about how Farmingtion is a nice Rural area. Don't get me wrong, I do love it here and am glad to be here, but still miss the small town with the slower pace to life. It just fit with me.
As for the kids, they have adjusted with very few problems for the most part. Emma had the easiest time as she found five girls all about her age in our circle.She can usually be found with one of them through out the day.Rachel had a hard time until her room was put together and she realized that she still had all of her things, mommy was here and she was okay. Adrienne really had no idea of what has all taken place, she just wants mommy. Aaron had a hard time for about the first week, he needed dad for everything, was a lot more whinny and wanted to play with his good friend Jake. Seth had the hardest time out of all of us. For the next few days he kept asking when we were going back to our "real" house. When we would try to explain that this was our house now, he would say, "no, this is our pretend house, we need our real house in Granstville." Then would cry and miss all of his friends. There are actually a good number of boys his age in our ward, but only one that lives in walking distance for him to go with out me. He is doing better now and I think preschool will help even more. Plus I have to give credit to his new primary teacher who is working wonders with that little boy. She may not see it, but oh she has been a huge blessing for him.
Well there is still so much more to update and tell, like when Seth nearly drowned the first time we went swimming at the pool. That was scary, a hart stopping moment for sure. Lucky there was a lady there watching and pulled him out and he is doing just fine. Now we don't leave the house without life jackets on. But that is another story for another time, little Adrienne needs her mommy. Maybe I can get Jeff to post a few pictures.
Love, The Forsgren Family
Sorry it took me so long. I will try better with updating. I have to, if not for anyone but you. That's right you know who you are. I will try to be a better blogger.
