Turning over a New Leaf

It has been a long while since we have been in the blogging world. February sped by faster than we could click "New Post" and before we knew it we were in a moving marathon. Yes, it's true...we've moved! Out of our basement apartment on February 28th (of course we were only able to move out the LAST day of the month) and having family dinner in our new place on March 1st (there's nothing like a deadline to spice up a move). We loved our cozy apartment and friendly neighbors and ward, but with the addition of a baby our quaint quarters took on a claustrophobic feel. Savanna was starting to want to move and discover...and there wasn't much room to do that. JI and I felt the need to move on to better (and preferrably, bigger) things, so we watched for opportunities...and opportunities came! Thanks to the help and thoughtfulness of family and friends we were able to move into a wonderful house. We're still renting, but we couldn't ask for anything more right now! It's amazing to us the small and simple things that we take for granted. For example, since July 2007 we have affectionately called our dishwasher and disposal..."JI." :) We now call them "Whirlpool" and "In-Sinkerator." We have a kitchen that we can both stand in at the same time and we finally have space to have our bedroom look like a...well, bedroom. In addition to the grand additions, we are above all grateful for the blessing of living within 15 minutes of family...most especially, grandparents! We have a wonderful life and we are excited for the many adventures to come!
