So, we've made it through our first work day in PA. I have already started to notice the kinks of the house.
#1 No heat. Surprisingly it is cold out here still...especially at night. Which, is bad for a sick baby, but hopefully that gets fixed soon.
#2 Freaky washer. I am pretty sure our washer is possessed. I put a load into the washer before we left yesterday to run some errands and shut the door and let the magic happen. Well, when i came home, I couldn't get the utility room door opened because the washer was in front of it!! It freaks out every time we do a load now....either big or small, when it gets to that spin cycle, it goes nuts.
#3 No tv or internet. I never thought i was obsessed with the two but apparently i am. With no TV, especially with brett gone all day, can get pretty boring around here. Also, some fun news, qwest isn't stationed anywhere in PA so we are still paying on our two year contract but not receiving any benefits of such. Go figure the 'west' in qwest means "we only work out in the west" duh Lydia. So we are currently hacking into a near by local connection that works sometimes and not others....fun fun fun.
#4 Adalie. She seems to have caught a whole new cold out here and is sick all over again. Plus, with her schedule lost on the drive over, its been tough to try and get a sick baby back on some kind of routine.
#5 Location. I am used to every thing being so close in provo that a thirty minute drive into town seems like an all day trip to me. I love where we are living though. Nice two bedroom condos on a private golf coarse, but no more quick trips downtown for something last minute. And gas is a whopping $3.65 Whoa!!
#6 White carpet. Ugh, white carpet. Baby. I think that says it all.
Despite a few other little things...no family...husbands 12 hour work days..., we are determined to keep our heads held high and our faith strong. Everything will work out for the better.

I hope things get better for ya. Any good parks or anything around there? Congrats on the Wal-mart. At least you can go aisle shopping if you really get bored.
It's always rough getting settled into a new place. I'm sure it'll be wonderful, though, and you won't want to leave!
So I just realized you and Jennifer married Bretts. How funny!
