Sorry I don't have a lot of time but I thought I would pop in and report a little news... We are officially moved in to our new home in Kirksville, Missouri! What a wonderful place to be (I can say that now.. We have not had winter here yet...)! Christian had orientation for med school today and tomorrow is the orientation for families along with the 'White Coat' ceremony. Christian is really excited to be finally starting med school. We already have made lots of friends! I think this town is going to be called Mini Provo because a lot of students here are LDS. Also, since we have been in Kirksville it has rained 11 out of the 21 days that we have been here. I think this is more rain than I ever seen in my history of living in St. George. Some quirky things about living here is that you can tour the town in one day (less than that even... more like 3 hours), every Saturday is a farmers market (amazing food!), and then we have the trash days... On trash day everyone has one tiny garbage can and you are only allowed one and it can only weigh 40 pounds (Oscar's diapers weigh more than that). So if you happen to have more garbage that doesn't fit or exceeds the weight limit they have 'one dollar tags' for each bag over. It gets to be quite expensive so to save on money they do recycling. The recycling bags have to be clear and only contain; paper, plastic, and aluminum. You would actually be surprised as to how much stuff is recyclable... our first week here we filled up the teeny tiny trash can and then for recycle pick up we had 12 bags. So far we have only had to use one 'one dollar tag'! Now to Oscar...
