I love to see the Temple!

Darrin and I had the opportunity to go to the Columbus Temple today. We left our place about 2:00 thinking we would have plenty of time before the session started at 4:00. Well, we ran into some major construction but we made it on time! It is a small temple but the spirit was still just as strong as other temples we have been to. It was a neat thing to experience. I love the warmth that is felt at the temple as I sit and ponder. I am grateful that we have a temple that is close enough for us to drive to!

Flat Nik and Darrin

I guess my family felt bad that Darrin and I no longer were around so they decided to make a "Flat Nik and Darrin." Here are some pictures of Darrin and I with Anna and Becca on the first day of school! I even got to go to my favorite 1st grade classroom today! Funny thing is that I had a dream last night that I stopped by to visit the school today. I guess I really did visit...I just don't remember! :)

The Adventure Begins!

We were driving home from church today and had to take a detour because we missed our street. We drove past a middle school that is close to our place. On their sign it said "Let the Adventure Begin..." We went for a walk later and walked past it so I could get a picture. I thought it was a good sign for us since we are beginning and new adventure here in Ohio!

Rolls!

So we have been married for just over a year now and I have not been able to make my rolls rise for dinner. I have tried several times and each time something goes wrong and we end up with flat bread. Well, tonight for dinner we decided to try rolls again and they worked!!! We were pretty excited to get home from church and see that they looked like rolls! I guess the secret was just moving to Ohio!! :)

Darrin's first day of Law School!

Darrin started his first day of Law School today!! :) Bring on the homework, stress, and excitement!!!! I got to join him at 2:00 for a "Parent and Partner Day." I was told what to expect this year and how to help Darrin through his stressful times, I also got to sit in a mock law class and ask questions to a panel of students and parents. I then got to see Darrin take the Oath of Professionalism! Of course he sat in the very front where I could not see him. I could only see his hand when I moved in front of someone!

After the Oath, we attended an Interfaith Prayer Service and Ice Cream Social. Thanks for everyones love and support through our new adventure. We could not do it without you!

Welcome to our Blog!

Quick update on our life:

We made it to Ohio. We are loving our new place...even if it is still full of boxes...most of them are unpacked, just are still stacked in the front room...

We had the missionaries here to help us move the piano in. We were grateful that they were able to help...especially Darrin and Dad!!

My sisters were also great to help us move things in!! Thanks girls!!! :) They enjoyed a nice swim in our pool after helping!

Darrin starts his first year orientation on Wednesday. I start work tomorrow...yes tomorrow...I am working as the lead teacher for the before and after school program in the Mad River School District. We drove past the school tonight. It is a very nice school. I am excited about this new adventure!

We are slowly getting used to the humidity here...it might take awhile!!

We love you all and are grateful for all of your love and support. If you ever take a trip out this way, please stop by to see us! :) We hear there are some neat site seeing areas around!

We even had our "Flat Pat" brother with us as we moved!! :)
