HELLO!!

I am still here!! Sorry it has been so long since I have updated but life seems to being going so fast that time runs out each day before I am able to get everything done!
Things are great. We are moved into to our "temporary " location and are learning to love and adjust to tight quarters:) The boys started school and then got a week off for Spring Break! They are loving school and their new friends. They love having cousins and kids from church in their classes. We live near a great park that has a really "Cool" skate park in it. The boys go there daily to grind and ollie! It is beautiful here and the weather has been perfect for them to play outside all day. We live close to Grandmas (plural) and enjoy doing ranch chores; feeding the chickens and collecting eggs, letting the cats in and out, and chasing down the runaway COWS and STEER!!!! They are getting ready to witness their first slaughter and have named the cow "DINNER" (how appropriate).
The Gym is awesome! I love going in and working there. I have had a so much fun doing marketing, rearranging, and just getting acclimated to the new business. Hans and I are enjoying working together and look forward to all that lies ahead! Brooke has done wonderfully tagging along with us and it has been a blessing to have the daycare there. The staff is great and have been very accommodating to us. I know we have our work cut out for us but I am so excited about the adventure. I sometimes feel like I am talking so fast and rambling but I am genuinely very excited!
We have met a lot of great people so far in the ward. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for an easier transition.
We miss all of our Friends back in CA and are looking forward to seeing them all in May! The kids are out of school then and we are coming back to visit. We have been so blessed to have made so many wonderful friends and miss seeing them and talking with them often. It still feels like we are on vacation and will be returning soon. We rented the house out and I am guessing when I get there and someone else is living in my home that is when it will hit me like a ton of bricks!:(
Well, I will try and be better at keeping everyone better updated on the happenings of the Wilkes Family (now of AZ). Keep us in your prayers and fingers crossed!

It all sounds so great. I'm so happy for you guys and this big step you've taken. It's so exciting! I applaud your decision to rent your house. Especially in the current housing market. Nice going! I'm so glad the boys are enjoying the move too. Thanks for the post. It's fun to keep up with you this way.

Such a great update! We're happy that things are settling in well for you all and that the boys are skating! haha! I check the blog everyday for updates, so keep writing! I have no life and live vicariously through the adventures of my friends. So live well.
