A moment...

I'm finding that I miss the branch more than I thought I would. LDS east and LDS west are not the same creature, and this will take some adjustment. But, I'm grateful to be here. (Visiting teaching is SSOOOOO easy to schedule.... And sometimes so awkward when I get there). Still, I know this is The Place for the moment and I'm savoring every minute in case it is a short moment.  We made a decision and here we are.

Jeff, although he misses his mountain terribly, is thriving and looks younger every day. Our back yard is slowing changing from a square of desert dirt to a lovely desert courtyard of color and texture. It has Jeff's hand all over it, and that makes me happy too.

We have blossoms on our two new little (and I emphasize little) citrus trees, and we are learning all about the hazards of irrigating, including lines that pop their ends and send water everywhere, including the front of the neighbors house.
