WOOHOO

I can't believe that earlier today I wrote that Giampiero still was job searching. Just today two job openings came practically at our door. In fact, one of the counelors in our bishopric came by to see if any of us would be able to start as a cook part time at the assisted living center where his daughter works. Giampiero has talked to the lady and has an interview on Monday. Then we got a call from the hog farm for an interview tomorrow. This is GREAT!

Happy Thanks Giving

I cannot express how thankful I am to be where I am. My family is happier than ever.

The children are growing more than just physically! Sara is going to primary without a fight. She LOVES her teacher (who also lives across the street from us). Piero and Sara both run outside as often as they can. They are climbing up the ladder to the playhouse in the back or running around the big yard. They dig in the dirt and act like monkeys in our cherry tree. This is how I remember growing up. I am so glad to see my kids able to act like KIDS.

Giampiero is still looking for work, but he was able to pick up two days of temporary work and every little bit helps.

I made my first Thanksgiving Day meal. I didn't do the entire meal, but about 90%. The turkey is my biggest accomplishment. I HATE touching raw poultry, but I did it and the turkey was great. The pumpkin pies, however, are another story. We got to throw away pumpkin mush in pie tins. Oh well, if as first you don't succeed, try try again.

Don't play with your food!

We were eating lunch the other day when Piero started crying "It's stuck." When I looked he had stuck a raisin in his nose. I pulled it out and he asked in a sweet voice, "Can I eat it?" He seemed wholeheartedly dismayed when I refused.

Cold but happy...

Giampiero is still in So. Cal for a little while, but should be joining us soon. It is beautiful here in Utah. We are expecting snow today, but so far nada. The moving truck should get here Friday so we can finally stop living out of suitcases, bags, and boxes.

I am not homesick, but I do miss some of my friends and especially my husband. I don't have my phone right now, it stayed with my hubby, so if you want to contact me, E-MAIL.

Love you all,

Noelle
