If you are ever wondering if I’m having a hard time just check out my blog. A sure sign of internal struggle is a lack of blog posts. I will admit (as noted in my previous post) Utah has been an adjustment for me, but I think I am finally adjusting:D Things are looking up and I’m starting to get really excited about our life out here. Aidan and Maya have settled into school well. I’m getting a routine down with my little sidekick, Arabella, and Rich LOVES his job! Really, what more could I ask for? Exciting news of the day? I found a gym! All this time I’ve been so down and missing my old gym and I found out today that there is a gym right by Aidan & Maya’s school! I don’t have to drive all the way into town! Hooray!
I’ve already made some really good friends, two of which live right in my neighborhood! I’ve also become great friends with the wives of the other pharmacists that Rich works with. We had our first Girls Night Out last night and it was so much fun! I swear we could have sat and talked all night.
Wanna hear a funny story? Aidan rode the school bus to school for the 1st time yesterday. I’ve been really nervous about letting him do this because you know, you hear horror stories of kids not making it to school. I was also worried about him not knowing where to go after he got off of the bus. So, my neighbor girls came over at 7:55 to pick him up to walk with him to the bus stop. What do you think I did? I stalked the school bus like a psycho stalker mom! That’s right, instead of a soccer mom I’m a stalker mom.
I knew that I wouldn’t have peace of mind if I didn’t know exactly what route Aidan would be taking and I had to see how he did when it came time to get off the bus. So, here I was driving my mini van with tinted windows, wearing a baseball cap because I hadn’t done my hair, following the school bus. Creepy? The bus driver thought so. After about 15 minutes of picking up kids at each stop, he pulled over and got off of the bus and walked up to my van with a very concerned look on his face. “Why are you following me?” Oh my gosh! So embarrassing! I explained that I’m just a psycho paranoid mom who’s baby boy is riding the school bus for the first time and that I was so sorry for not giving him a heads up:/ He was totally cool with that and continued on his way. The good news is that Aidan made it to his class just fine, of course, and the even better news is that I didn’t follow the school bus today. I was too embarrassed to tell anybody about this so I can’t believe I’m blogging it. Maybe it will be a testament to how much I love Aidan when he gets older?
Arabella has been so much fun to chill with while Aidan and Maya are at school. Usually, what she wants to do is snuggle on the couch and watch Dora. Today we watched Bubble Guppies and there was a part where they said, “Get up and dance with us!” and so she said, “Mom, get up and dance!” I complied:D After I danced she wanted me to rewind it so she could dance too, and she did it over and over. So cute!
(Ignore the bare walls…and disaster)
I love that girl!
So yeah, things are looking up out here in Mountain Green:D

Umm yeah stalker mom, but you have the right to do that. And thumbs for the bus driver paying attention enough to know someone was following them! Now you know he is extra safe! Glad you are having fun in Utah!
I wish I lived by you. I just know we'd be super good friends. Glad you're adjusting! Moving is hard!
I think we would be too, Alisha! :)
Thank you for this informative post. The next time I stalk a bus, I'll know what to wear.
In other news, rock on you super star! Moving is hard, and keeping it together all classy-like (the way you do) is even harder.
