I won't have my computer for a couple more weeks so no pictures but I thought I could update everyone. I just dropped all my children off for their first day of school. I think it was harder on me than them. A few changes with school. They only have all day kindergarten here so Isaac goes to school all day. The deadlines for school are jan-dec (like primary classes) so that means Alison is now in sixth grade. She was excited but Jared and I dont love that. It feels like we just lost a year of her life. :)
I have meet a couple great people. One named Daisy has loned me her car, babysat my kids, and feed us lunch. She has been so great. Jared's boss, Mike, and his wife Corine have been great too. They picked us up at the airport. They had set up some air mattresses for us to sleep on as well as sleeping bags. They brought over a table and chairs from the college to get us by until our stuff comes. They also stocked our fridge and freezer with food, bought us garbage sacks, paper goods, and all the nessesities. This has been a huge blessing since we havent been able to get a van. They are all being used to pick up college kids frim the airport until Wed.
We have been to the beach (about a five minute walk) many times already. It is great. All my children love it and are really good at bodyboarding already. Even Isaac catches waves with out help. We have caught gekos, and tried to catch crab (much harder than gekos). We have a season pass to the PCC, and spent Saturday there. We can get guests in for free as well so if you come I can hook you up.
After church we spent some time at the temple visitor center. I was sad to leave the excitement of the Brigham Temple but it is so great to come to a place were we are even closer to a temple. One of Jared's mission comp. is in our ward and one of the missionaries at the temple was a kid when Jared served in her ward.
We miss everyone but I know this is where we need to be. Feel free to call my cell phone if you want to talk. Just dont call early in the morning since I will be sleeping (we are four hours behind you) :) Love you all.

Welcome back to blogging! Great to read the update - ALL the kids are gone ALL day!! Wow-that came fast for you:) Hooray for new friends, the beach and a REAL bed.
We googled your address, you are so close to the ocean! That's not hard in Hawaii though... We are glad you are doing well and we think about you every day. We are out of school today and having a play day, it was sad to not call and invite Alison.
