the town of big hair, bugs and babies

Well to first catch everyone up to speed. We are moved. I know it was quick but everything just kinda fell into place and we went with it. Not to say that it wasn't crazy, but we made it and that is all the counts. Our apartment is nice but small. We realized very quickly that we would need a storage unit, and alot of creative shoving to get all our stuff to fit. we only have one box left to unpack so we did good in that aspect. Its just that I now need to go back and reorganize everything to get it all to fit with out looking to cluttered. So still lot of work to do.

Now on to the title of the blog. Holy cow do the girls have weird big hair here. I went to enrichment to night and the relief society president had big hair just poofed and sprayed to perfection. Her side burns were dyed a bright violet purple. she is in her 40-50 and was dressed regular, but her hair was just so very bad. I have seen big hair before But rexburg definitely takes the prize.

On to bugs they are huge, the 2ND night we were here we had the biggest beattle cock roach this i have ever seen it was like 2 inches long and like and inch wide. Gross and the spiders here are huge and poisnous. I hate bugs.

And let me just say babies, babies galour. everyone here is pregnant or has a new born or has like 4 little kids. And i am wondering what the car seat, seat belt laws are here. I have seen a few family with 3-4 kids all in a little 4 door car. No one has a minivan, its all trucks and little cars. and they just pile the kids in. So unsafe.
All right well I promise that I will get some pictures of the place and get them posted.so you can see how creative I have really had to be!!

you need to sneak your phone in and take a picture of your RS pres. Maybe you should think about dying your side burns... orange it really "In" right now.

I'm thinking Colin should get a cowboy hat and some boots.

Gotta love small towns! There are aspects of it that you'll come to like, I think. That's one of the things I like about where we live, it still has a little bit of small town feel without being so small town. At least you'll have plenty of laughs while you are there and maybe give you ideas to blog about.

Hey Cory- (not sure you remember me- you were teaching nursery in Lake Sawyer ward with my girls Shannon and Emma Willis) anyway, I didn't know you were friends with Shannon and Jeremiah Jex but they are good friends of ours and I found your blog through theirs. Didn't know you had moved! Sounds like you guys are doing well though, just wanted to say hi!
