We are enjoying Utah and getting used to things here. Hyde Park is a country town....with lots of members of the church. The people have been kind and friendly and everyone who lives here seems to love it (and have lived here for years and years)! Our kids are trying to get used to everyone (basically) being members....no real separation with church/school, etc. There are definitely some things that have taken some adjusting to. Just a few examples: Enrichment meeting signs displayed on street corners; goats, horses, sheep and chickens across the street from us (in a residential neighborhood); kids on Seth's soccer team announcing they won't be at the game because they will be attending a baptism (Seth thought it was crazy that it was talked about so openly...he just isn't used to it!); waking up to horse clip-clops on Saturday mornings as someone is out for a morning horseback ride down our street! It is all just a little different to get used to!
On the flip side, there are some things I love about it here: The fall colors and beautiful weather; I don't have to drive on a freeway to get to shopping...everything is so close here! ; I can go running in the mornings and feel very safe; the Stake Center is 2 minutes away!
More later...later as in not 3 months from now :)

Glad that you guys are settling in and enjoying it there. That is funny how much school/church overlap. My favorite is enrichment signs on the street! It must be weird to not be mormon there! Good to see some posts and pictures. We can't wait to see you guys at xmas! We miss you so much already!
YAY! Such a great post!
We miss you guys and are glad you are getting settled in. I had the exact same culture shock when I first started at BYU... especially when we opened classes with a prayer (so weird at first)!
Anyway, I love the pictures and we love you!
