Texas- you have a problem----The Fillmore's

Darci said I should update the blog since we have moved, and our now in Texas where it is actually sunny. We packed up a small trailer after selling a lot of stuff, and started on our way. We stayed with Mom and Dad for a week.. Which was great, except for the weather. At least Portland weather only followed us half way across the nation.


We had a great time visiting with family, playing golf, cards, pool, and enjoying some time off. The kids played with Aunt Sarah, and their cousins. It was a lot of fun. After Rigby, we drove to Denver, and stayed the night, followed by a night in Lawrence, KS home of the 2008 Champion Jayhawks. WE arrived in Killeen on May 29th at about 11pm local time. And we have been torturing the Karchers (Darci's sister and family) ever since. We are trying to get into a home in the neighborhood, and also trying to get that teaching job I came for. It has been great to see the blue sky, and as Darci says "to not be cold ever". The kids have had fun too, we can barely get them to leave their 6 cousins here. Anyways, I added some photos from our trip, and promise to update this a bit more often. We would love to hear from any of you.






( I added four pictures- The kids at temple square, the kids at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence where the Jayhawks play, the kids at Energy Solutions Arena in SLC, cause we have a Jazz fan we left behind in Portland, and a picture of the house we are trying to get.)




We will try to Flog again soon, love the Fillmores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys! Looks like your trip was fun. Is the house you're trying to get for rent or for sale? How is the job search coming? It was so fun to have you visit for a few days. The boys had a lot of fun with their cousins.

Hope you are doing well and keep us posted!

Love,

Jen

Dude, please clarify - which picture was the temple in SLC? The one with the spirals, or the one that said Energy Solutions? Both were holy places to stop at, although I'm sure you'd say the same about the Allen Fieldhouse. Anyway, did we tell you about our apple tree out front (you know, the tree where our pet squirrel was nearly murdered in cold blood) I'm sure Darci remembers that - and also remembers dragging my hoop back over and putting it underneath all of the branches and leaves of that tree. So much of the tree was covering it that I couldn't really use the hoop. But, as karma would have it, we woke up about 2 weeks ago to find that that half of the tree had fallen down, leaving a perfect area to shoot hoops. Nice. Also, my job was again secured another week due to Tiger winning. We miss you and we'll talk to you later. Landon, Alicia and kids.
