Life in California
I have been here for five months now. Right in the middle of winter and I am complaining about the weather. I think you have to, this time of year, no matter where you are. It was 46 this morning. Utah friends are saying shut up right now, I know. It rained so much last week that I don't think the grass will ever dry out. We walked to the school today for the first time in what feels like forever. But we had to walk home fast to beat the rain.
I really think that I am getting used to life here. I went out with the Utah BlooSky wives last weekend. There was a craft show in Anaheim. What does it say when I feel happier with life after a few hours around craft supplies? But, honestly, I had such a fun time. It is nice to be around people who are in the same situation as I am. Far from home. I am jealous that they live so close together. Mark and I talk often about moving closer to them all when our lease is up.
A friend from our ward is supposed to come over to scrapbook tomorrow. I hope we have fun. It will be nice to have some time in my office. I need to play in there more often. It is hard to, with a million kids. I think I would have a better outlook on life if I worked on my stuff. I have been knitting until my hands are about to fall off, so it would be nice to work on something different for a change.
Speaking of knitting: I think I am getting the hang of it. I can't imagine ever enjoying it as much as I do crochet, but I am going to lick it. I don't know why I don't just work on tatting, but I feel like I have to get it this time. I wish Grandma Keller was here to help me. She could explain it to me. Too little, too late.

I hope you do move closer! It would be a blast to be able to see you more often. So.... can you sew a good pant hem? Ben needs his temple pants hemmed and I don't want to start off with those. Yikes if I messed up! Let me know! Loves!
