A New Start

So here we are in Noblesville, Indiana. Those of you unfamiliar with the Indianapolis area, it is about 20 miles north of Indianapolis. It's funny, because growing up on the southside of Indy, I never thought I'd be a "northsider". But I am and it doesn't seem so weird. I know we've been moving around a lot in the last few years, but I'm really hoping to settle down soon! The kids make friends everywhere we go and for some reason Brooke was really sad about this move the most. She talked to her BFF Katelyn every day for the first few days after we left. We are currently in a two bedroom/one and one half bath townhouse, so it's a little small, but we will make do...at least it has two toilets!! That was an issue for the last year. The closets are big so we have plenty of room to "stuff" extra stuff in. I can live with less now so we can have more later. Who wants to pay a lot of money on rent? Not us! We will hopefully save a lot of money so we can buy in the next year or two. That's the plan anyway.

We haven't done a whole lot yet, just unpacking. Our community does have a pool which we used on Monday. Not too crowded at all, which was surprising. Brooke got sick that night with an ear infection and we haven't been back since. Charlotte was sick the beginning of last week, Nathan the end of last week (while moving in, good thing we had movers) and now Brooke. Anyway, I hope to get to the pool often, so I can work on my tan ;-) And the farmers tan.

We did visit the Noblesville library to sign up for the summer reading program. They also have an adult summer reading program! I love it!! The library is very nice and very big. That is one of my requirements when moving to a new place- must have library!

I guess I didn't mention Nathan was just transferred to the Indianapolis office with his job. Not a promotion or job change, same thing, just different location. The office is on the northside of Indy, hence our northside location. :-)

I always feel like posts are boring without pictures. While waiting for Brooke's scrip at Kroger the other day, I snapped this of Charlotte. These small carts may come in handy while shopping. Brooke was so puny she couldn't even walk.





We went to dinner with our friends, the Anderson's, the night before they moved. We moved a few days after them.
