It's been... One month!

Nope.  Not a dating anniversary.  No pregnancy announcement, either ;)  Obviously.  The one month is because it's been one month since I moved up to Idaho full-time.  What have I done in the past 30 days?  Well, for starters, I planted my first row of potatoes.

(This means I can start my sentences with

phrases like, "As a potato farmer..." ^_^)

I built a chicken coop.

I rode a horse and counted cattle that were being moved to another pasture.

Oh, and I also learned how to frame a wall (yes, that means using a chop saw and a nail gun!).  No big deal.

I'm doing my best to fit in with the natives ;)  I'm slowly trying to pick up the culture--cars in a snowy parking lot spin "cookies" instead of "doughnuts", for example; the term "neighbor" applies to really anyone within a 10 mile radius of your house; and for the 50th time, it's LAH-VA Hot Springs, not LAW-VA Hot Springs!

I joke about things, but really, it's been great.  I just got a job at an assisted living home.  Finally applied for a library card.  I visited the Idaho Falls temple!

Oh, and all that's not even mentioning how fun it's been to spend so much time with these cuties:

Looks like I may be turning into a spud after all.

Well, gotta' go.
Love,
me.
