Settled :)

It is amazing how wonderful it is to have a place that you can call your own.  With a kitchen, bathroom, your favorite chair, a comfortable bed...it feels great.

We are settled and all moved into our house.  When we found out we would be going to the University of Maryland I became very excited and started apartment searching right away.  I could not believe how much more expensive College Park was than Provo.  Then I could not believe how many places had bug problems and safety problems.  I thought it would be impossible to find a place in our budget that we liked and would feel safe in.  But we did!  We're renting from an awesome family.  They are so nice.  They left 3 push pops in the freezer for us and toys for Grace to play with.  It's a 3 bedroom house.  We're using one of the bedrooms as an office.  It has room to grow :). 

We gave talks yesterday in our new ward about the eternal blessings of marriage and Father's Day.  I have  really enjoyed our ward so far.  There is another woman with Celiac Disease  so I can get the sacrament with her.  There are several people that have reached out and been so kind to me.  I am looking forward to being in one place for so long.

Grace is growing!  She is now 15 pounds 11 ounces and 24 and a half inches long.  We went to see a dermatologist about her birthmark.  She doesn't need surgery!  :)  Right now we're trying a topical drop that is made for the eye to see if that will reduce the hemangioma.  I guess 4 years ago in France they found out that a medicine they've had around for a long time that has been used to treat blood pressure actually treats hemangiomas at a very fast rate.  She is still too young for that medicine, so we'll see how this one works. 

So we're doing wonderful!
