First Day

Today was the first day of "real life" in our new town. Aaron started his new job, the kids went back to school and I was left alone to hit the Walmart Supercenter in peace. Everyone survived their first day just fine. Aaron went to work, then came home, sat on the couch and had a look on his face that said, "What now?". For the first time in 4 years his mind was done at the end of the day. Maybe it will be kinda nice not being self-employed. Austin seemed to like his school well. It is very large and spread out compared to his school in Emmett but he found his way around okay. At one point he found himself surrounded by pretty girls who wanted to look at his schedule to see if he was in any of their classes. He was also impressed by the massive amount of food choices in the cafeteria. Food, girls... what's not to like? Amanda and Lauren had good days also although Amanda wasn't too impressed with her teacher. She says her teacher's mean. Both girls said the kids were friendly and neither spent recess or lunch alone. I hope all the kids make friends quickly. Having a friend sure makes a difference when you are getting used to lots of changes. My day also went well. I ventured out and found a Walmart Supercenter only 15 minutes away and was thrilled to find the prices pretty much the same as they were in Idaho. I was worried that they would be much higher here in California. After about three weeks of packing, house hunting, moving, unpacking and living without routine I am happy to be getting back to normal everyday life.
