I'm Livin' in NEW YORK

So we are now in New York and settled in. I havn't been able to get pictures to the computer yet so sorry no pictures yet. This las week was way hectic. Jon started selling. It's a new ball game out here, but he's doing well. After costco, target, and lots of money spent getting our groceries we drive to the gas station to find it $4.00 a gallon YIKES! It's expensive here. But our apartments are nice and we have a pond in our back yard so we went and fed the ducks one afternoon, and to our surprise the next morning they were knocking on our slidding glass door and the kids fed them bread out of there hand! Pretty cool we already have pets.

So last Wed. I got up at 3:30 A.M. with all the wives, 10 of us, and we we drove to downtown Manhatten to Time Square to attend GOOD MORNING AMERICA. I am happy to report it was my first public television appearance and I looked AWESOME :) It was really fun, but man I was tired that day! Downtown New York is crazy with all the buildings and let me just tell you we got some funny looks in our mini van downtown!

Then, after the week of selling we went to our new Ward which is really small, but nice. Mother's Day was Good! Makenna and Autumn were very sweet. We all got in the car later that night and drove out to the East Hamptons. Driving past Tiffany's and other clothing stores I don't know, but I am sure they are famous. It was cold so we didn't get out the car much when we got to the beach, but it is just like in the movies. All the old houses and soooooo many trees! It's GORGEOUS and Stupendous, other than when trying to find things they can be right in front of your face, but you can't see them through the thicket of trees.

So that was our first week. I think it will slow down a little now. I am going to take some ballet classes and try to get makenna in some as well. We have TONS of friends and are loving the nice weather, not hot like vegas.
(Happy Mothers Day To All)

Glad to hear you are getting settled. It sounds like you will have an exciting summer. We miss you here. Everytime my girls see your house they ask, "Is Makenna is home yet?" When you get a chance, email me your new address: farmerh@gmail.com.

Take care!
