In between getting settled we've been doing a little sightseeing. We recently went to the Oklahoma Railway Museum. They had some fun old trains to explore, and you could take a quick ride on a real train. So we took Evan. He had a blast. We weren't sure how he'd do riding on the train, but he was mesmerized.













We've also been playing in the water quite a bit. It's hot!















A couple of days ago we got Evan a basketball hoop. I've been wanting to get him one for a while, ever since he started recognizing the basketball hoops in the gym at church and yelling "Bapa ball" in the middle of sacrament meeting. He LOVES it. The video is from the day we put it up. John was thrilled with Evan's "mad skills."

Update

Ok, I no longer have any excuse not to blog. So here's our update. Sorry if this is long and boring. There's been a LOT going on.

Last time I blogged we were in the middle of packing to leave Santa Fe, NM. Evan and I drove with my family to Payson and stayed with my parents for about a week. John took the trailer and drove it to Memphis. Evan and I flew out to be there during John's graduation. And I just have to say, I'm so proud of John! He did an amazing job during school--managing his classes and exams, boards, church assignments and family life. He was even in the Honors Society! Way to go, Dr. John!













Following graduation, Evan and I and John's parents flew to CA to spend some time with them. John planned to drive out to CA to be with us, and while en route, he received a call with a job offer in Oklahoma City--our first choice. We were thrilled.

We spent a couple of weeks in CA with family (mine and John's) and then John left to drive (once again, poor guy!) to OKC to arrange housing and move our things from Memphis to OKC.














Now we're all together again, finally in a stable situation for poor Evan, who was beginning to think he'd be sleeping in a different bed or state every week for the rest of his life.
















We live in Yukon, OK in a great little house. Everything really just fell into place for us, and we are confident this is where we're supposed to be! It's a great feeling.

So come see us on your next vacation! You know you always wanted to check out Oklahoma!
