So, it's almost been a month since we made the "big move". So much has happened that I feel like I've been here forever! I guess the question is "Do I like it?" Well, it depends on the day. Some days...I love it and want to stay forever. Other days, I find myself counting the seconds till I come home!
The kids are adjusting great. Sebastian is playing football and hockey. Needless to say he loves both. Isabel is loving her new school and is happy as long as she has a barbie to play with.
J loves working for "The Giant" is SLC. The team moral is so much better and he actually gets home in time for dinner.
I'm adjusting the slowest. I miss my friends and family. (of course) Also, the women here are little to perfect for my liking. They all look like barbie...NO JOKE!! Well...I should clarify the term "they". When I say they...I really mean the LDS (Latter Day Saints...aka Mormons). I can assure you that I am not lying about this fact either. Not only do they look Barbie, they are all really young and have at least 4 children. Most people with 7 year olds are about 27 and have flat tummies and HUGE BOOBS.
Plastic Surgery here is the business to be in...AGAIN I AM NOT LYING!!! Goggle it! Fortunately, Sebastian goes to catholic school, so most of the people I've been meeting are normal. The moms at his school are great and comment on the weirdness of the LDS "Stepford Wives". I know I sound very close minded...but I'm really not. I am just stating the obvious. I would gladly be friends with them...if they were willing to be friends with me. But I'm not Mormon. So that's that!
Although...we did meet one nice LDS family. The first thing they told was that they were not really religious. Me...captain obvious exclaimed "it that possible in the Mormon faith". They said it's not really common and then invited us to the wife's 30th birthday party at their house. We gladly went...I mean what else did we have to do on a Saturday night.
Everyone was really nice...but there was no Pepsi, Coca Cola, Coffee or ALCOHOL. I didn't know what do with myself. How was I suppose to make friends sober?! But I figured it out and found it interesting that the people were flabbergasted that the schools back east got off for Jewish Holidays. (I have no idea how we were talking about this) Schools here don't close for Jewish Holidays. But I guess it makes sense, I haven't met 1 Jewish person yet...in fact I don't think there are any Jews out here! Funny how things vary from state to state!
The party was fun...but we haven't heard from them since. So I guess that friendship will not be. I know it's nothing personal...they're probably just busy with life. Right?
So now that I made this post all about religion I hope I didn't give you the wrong impression of me. I have no problems with people of different faiths and welcome being friends with anyone. I am just stating the facts about life here in Utah!
