We are Alive

I just wanted to give a quick hello and let you know that we are alive and well here in North Dakota! I am still without internet at home and so I am unable to post pictures but I wanted you to know that we are not frozen and unbelievably have not been especially cold. I have been surprised at how the area looks. I imagined an area made up of mostly flat terrain but have been pleased with the many rolling hills! Our home is small but functional. I am looking forward to the time when we can look for a home to buy. The people here have been so unbelievably nice to us. I LOVE the elementary school here but I am feeling nervous about the junior high and high school because they do not offer advanced classes. Zach is feeling frustrated because he does not feel that he will be challenged in this school. I am hoping it gets better for him. He does have swimming his first hour and loves that part of school so I am thankful that there is a positive aspect of his school day. I may have to look into other schools in the area to see if they offer more of what he needs. Blake has not decided if he likes it or not. The school he attends is brand spanking new and the staff are very friendly. I just don't know if he will be challenged academically there or not. Hopefully he will be okay there. I think that once he and Zach make some friends it will be better.

I will give more details later when I have more time. So much to do and so little time!!!!!

P.S. I miss my friends and family!
