Broken camera

Well Cory dropped the camera on moving day...and it is kaput! I wanted a new one anyway but there are so many things I needed that since I had a perfectly good camera it seemed frivolous to ask for a new one. Summers are great because they have Mother's Day, our anniversary, and my birthday. So its added to the list. I don't know how to put photos from my phone on my blog so "onelmichele" will be photoless until I get a new one.
Quick update...not loving Las Cruces so far...love the mountains, love the wind, love the rent...but I am scared that the ward doesn't hold as many super cool possible friend like people like Tucson had. I hope I am not having another burgh thing happening...it took me forever to make a friend but mostly because I left the most amazing friends in Gilbert...so I think I was mostly to blame...I couldn't let myself get attached because I knew it was only temporary. I have to stop thinking of LC as temporary (even though I think it is) or I will never make a friend here.
We just spent the last 4 days in the valley and it was so much fun. A couple of days with my sister Caroline and her family, spent time with Cory's family, ofcourse the boys and then 2 days with my friend Sherida. My girls are so attached to her family...they love them to pieces...so do I. So I guess being only 4 hours away is totally doable. We will see eachother often.
I want to take the girls to Pittsburgh this summer and see all our friends there...we will see how the money situation goes.
Love to all

Jonece's Solo and Birthday

Jonece turned 12 and is now in Young Womens and growing up way too fast for Cory. I love that she is almost a teenager and getting ready for junior high and then high school. I know some people had a hard time in high school but for me it was so much fun. I hope my girls have as positive experience as I did.

Jonece got a part in her school play where she was Snow White...who wins the award for best female vocalist. Its kind of hard to hear her...but she did great!
We are moving in two weeks and I am on tract to be packed up and ready to go.

Enjoy!
