Moving day, we're all going crazy! 
Entertaining myself while everyone unpacks.
I know the whole point of our family blog page is to keep you all posted on the happenings of our family. I'm sorry, but it has been a little crazy settling in. So here are some quick updates and pictures to admire.
*July 5, 2008 we blessed Bug.
*July 15-30 Various family members suffer strep, pink eye and ear infections. Bug was spared. *July 23rd we celebrated Casey's birthday. He celebrated with strep. *August 4 Casey went hiking down the Subway with his brothers, sister, father-in-law, brother-in-law, and a few friends. Special thanks to Chris and Jerry for arranging that amazing hike. *August 5 we packed as much as we could into a truck, trailer, and two sedans. *August 6 we drove and drove and drove and drove and drove and drove and drove........ *August 7 Bug cried as we drove and drove and drove some more. At 2:00 p.m. central time we made it to Omaha NE 68108! Our new home. Thanks to all our family who helped us get to this exciting time in our lives! We've been settling in nicely. Our townhouses are referred to, by the missionaries, as "Little Provo." Most of the folks are students going to school, and they are Mormon. I've met a few who aren't, but they are so nice and welcoming! We miss our friends, but like the song I used to sing as a brownie, "Make new friends, and keep the old. One is silver, the other gold." We live right next to the Omaha Zoo, and the Botanical Gardens. Naturally we bought a family pass to the zoo, and I've taken the girls there once a week. There are many little kids here and Boo is in heaven. One thing we really love out here, is the price of gas. We filled up last week with it being 3.31! And the upgrade is cheaper than the regular. We love our ward. We have heard some amazing conversion stories, and look forward to getting to know these people even more. Casey is a home teacher, but no other callings...yet. We did speak in church two Sundays ago. I took the girls to get their pictures taken at JC Pennies so tune in this weekend for a posting. Casey will be taking his oaths this Friday for his profession. I'll post pics from that too. He has been doing quite well in his classes, but I have become what is referred to around here as a "Study Widow." He studies more hours than he spends in class, but he thinks his first class went very well. Well there is a crash and smash of the last two months for us. We love you, and thank you for all the support! BUG'S BLESSING DAY

Casey! Your family is just adorable! I can't believe you have two little girls already. I guess it has been a few years since I saw you last. This is Jen Drake from Snow Canyon. I found your blog and just had to tell you congrats on your beautiful family!
