Hi Again

Sorry for the long interruption of posts but we finally moved and just got the Internet today! I'll have you know that I am currently scrunched up in a corner in a an uncomfortable position at 12:30 am because I could not find my wireless thingy- I am connected to the wall and cannot move. All to bring you updates! I have to tell you that we have a WONDERFUL weekend this past one. Between the kids having friends over we got away to a nice resort called Fairmount Hot Springs. We would have spent the night but we had to return for Asia. Poor thing was alone for 9 hours. Anyway the weather was perfect and the 2 hour drive was gorgeous. The kids really enjoyed it too. This was more family friendly and bigger than Chico Hot Springs. For those of you not in Montana Hot Springs are quite popular here. It's wonderful cause you can swim all year round.

We needed the break big time between the move and the stress of Ali (Hamed's) dad being sick- he wasn't sure if he needed to go to Iraq and we are so worried about him. It is so hard because all we can do is pray. His dad ended up going to a doctor in Baghdad and had surgery. Please send prayers along if you haven't already.

I am still unpacking and organizing (not my thing) and I will post pictures of the house but for right now my camera is busted. Here is what I like about the house: we are a little farther out from town and the night sky is unbelievable! I wish I knew what all the stars were- they are so bright and so clear. It is really quiet here and definitely more space. I was worried about moving away from that beautiful park we were so close to but there is a trail here that I have been walking on and I have really enjoyed my walks every evening with Asia. I like being back in a ranch again- everything is so easy to clean and get to. I like that the kids rooms are on one side of the house and ours is on the other. What I don't like: adding another 10 mins to drive anywhere and the stainless steel appliances- who thought of that?

I have a lot of other things to talk about but for now I am going to try to catch some sleep. Goodnight
