It's been a while, hasn't it?

Well, I have once again slipped into negelcting maintaining a blog! But I do have things to update with to make up for it.

My family and I have been in our new house for close to a month now, and it's starting to feel like our house. I still miss our old house in Ontario with it's early 1950's charm, but this house does have a very nice neighborhood and view of the Great Salt Lake. I need to find the pictures that we've taken so I can upload them here.

We even have a furry little friend who has adopted us. Her name is Maddie (not our choice, but it's the name she answers to) and she's a cute FLUFFY calico cat! She belonged to some people living up the street from us from what our neighbors have said. Apparently they had gotten a new cat, she didn't like it, and prefered to live outdoors and catch mice and voles for a living. We've started feeding her and she had started waiting at our front and back doors for us to come out and either feed her or brush her. She is quite a friendly cat. I need to find a way to take a good picture of her. She had thus far been less than photogenic.

I have started attending my local Single's Ward, and it's about the same size at the Chaffey Branch. But deffinately not as friendly, I'm sad to say. The Branch president (who reminds me greatly of Brother Anderson) came and greeted me on my first Sunday in the ward, and introduced me to one other young lady. I was surprised that in Relief Society no one said that there were any new members/visitors, and so was the Branch President. He then introduced me to more young ladies in our group for Relief Society--the teacher had split the room into five groups for group discussions.

I was suprised that this ward even did Linger Longer! I was able to meet a few more young ladies there, and then I met one young man, who is now off to Portland, OR to sell home security systems. I met another young man at this weeks YSA activity at the park. I had started talking to him along with a group of other people, and when the others went off to play volley ball, he and I stayed to talk more. We talked about a lot of different things: showes we liked, animals, family members... general things. I learned that he lives fairly close to me (just down the street and around the corner, really) and I hope that this guy will be someone I can look forward to sitting with and seeing every Sunday.
