UPDATE!

Sorry to all for the delay in an update. I have not come across the adapter to the camera that allows me to download pictures from the camera! So sorry no pictures yet!

We are settling in our new home! I am pretty much out of boxes, yeah! My family helped us move out here, thank goodness. Our caravan of vehicles took us about 16-17 hours (which we did in two days) to get here to Topeka, and then another 5 hours to unload!

We took a day to chill, and then we went up to Nauvoo, which was another 5 hours, but we had a great time, touring, and attending the temple (BEAUTIFUL!)

We spent a day in Kansas City shopping!

And the sad day came, when the family had to leave, the saddest part about it was Brilee bawling as she watched them all drive away in the car! Not fun at all!!

So anyways, Brilee and I are getting ourselves familiar with Topeka. The people are great! The library is fabulous, Brilee could stay there all day!

There is a group out her called the JRC (Jay Reuban Clarke Society) which is a group for LDS law students and their families. Without them I would have gone crazy, I have made some great friends. The Wives get together for playgroup, and girls night, so that has been good!

Where we live it is very walker/runner friendly, and everyone exercises out here, it's great! So I am trying to keep up with the running, but it's not working out that great, I think I rather just go walking! I like to take Brilee out in the mornings, we went up to a nice neighborhood above where we live and they acutally have decent hills! I am actually kind of sore from going up and down them.

Anyways, that is an update about what's happening, and I will work on finding the adapter so I can post some pictures!!

So glad you guys are adapting to the midwest so well. I am sure you will love it there but miss the mountains. I remember exactly what you mean about the people, they are so charitable and wonderful. Look forward to the pictures.

I am so glad to hear things are going well. I have been checking your blog frequently to hear from you guys. I am doing a 10k in a week and am going to miss my running buddies (Steph is still banned from running till January). Anyway, I hope things go well for you and you make some great friends.
