Jake has been visiting for about a week, and the noise level in our home increased exponentially. I love hearing him play the piano, singing, and joking with the other kids, but man, he's loud. His visit has made a bid difference with Megan. She is back to her old self, no more pouting and moping. The two of them are laughing at each other all the time. It's good for a mother's soul.
We have decided to try another church. We really wanted to find a fit at the Nazarene church since it has been our home for so long. Unfortunately, it's not really working. We've been attending pretty regularly for about a month, and still no one seems to care that we're there. The kids in the youth group are not very friendly at all (typical of teens). Ken and I walked around the church grounds after service looking for a Sunday School class. We were pretty obviously lost and not sure what to do or where to go. Not one person asked if they could help. If someone you don't know sticks their head into your room, you'd think at least the teacher would ask if they could help us find a place. We ended up tracking down the pastor's wife, who gave us wrong information. Not a great experience. We'll try another church this weekend. I really want to find that place where we can feel at home. I want the kids to find friends. I want Ken and I to find friends.
It sounds like we'll be getting SoCal visitors. Some of Ken's former co-workers, and my karaoke friends are coming first part of May. Some friends from "that place I work" are coming the end of May. My dad is coming for Easter. Kind of weird. We lived next door to Disney for 4 years, with free passes, and got a handful of visitors. Now we are in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by cactus, and we're like a hotel. Go figure. We're glad for the company though. We want to share our lovely new home with everyone. So, call ahead and make a reservation!
