We're here!

Well we made it to Michigan. Yay!! Unfortunately our internet in our apartment isn't working so I'm in the computer lab at the community center. Nathan and I left early Friday morning and arrived in Big Rapids Friday afternoon. We had 4 men from our Branch come and help us move in. One of the men actually lives right next to us in the next building. His wife is very nice and they have a son going into Kindergarten also and a two year old girl. So hopefully our kids will get to play with each other a lot. We spent Friday and Saturday unpacking and putting things away. I was working Nathan like a dog but we needed to get done as much as possible before the kiddos arrived Saturday night with my parents and Lauren. Thanks so much to them!! We needed the extra time without the kids to get everything put away. Sunday we went to our Branch. Our very small Branch. Everyone was very friendly though. Glad to have us here. We talked to the Branch President and he already assigned us talks. Sunday evening we went for a drive with my parents to look around the town and found a cute little lake with a place for fishing and a picnic area. Apparently there are a town of lakes, walking trails, parks, etc. So it's a great place if you love the outdoors. We may take a quick road trip this weekend to Lake Michigan. It's only about 1 hour away. The rest of this week is just running errands and getting familiar with the town. I signed Brooke up for Kindergarten yesterday. She was excited about that. It's all day and she rides the bus with everybody!! Elementary, middle school, and high school. The school she will be going to is just a school for Kindergartners and preschoolers though. That's about all for now. When our Internet starts working I'll post some pictures of our new home!
