We have internet...update on the daily happenings of the Moser's

After 1 week, 2 days and several hours of living in Missoula...we finally have internet. I called to have it connected before we even moved thinking I was ahead of the game...but the earliest they could come was yesterday. I have never been so excited to see the cable guy! After an hour of checking he informed Brian and I that the neighbor had cut through the cable going into our house when he put his fence in...aaaaagggghhh! I almost had a meltdown. Before the tears started I realized I missed the first part of the conversation in which he told Brian we would still have service we would just have a new orange cable running across our backyard unitl they can come bury which may be a few weeks. Wew....that was a close one! I can't believe how much I depend on the internet for daily stuff as well as keeping in touch with people!
We have had a busy first week in Missoula! Here are some of the highlights:

• We took the kids to a "Sprayground" which is a playground with water features. They have 4 parks in Missoula with these and they are all free which is great when you only have an hour or two and you don't want to pay to go somewhere. The other nice thing is there is playground euipment as well so when they get bored of the water they can play on the toys and when they got to hot there they can run back to the water. They also have a great waterpark which only cost $2.75 for kids and $4.50 for adults, quite a contrast from the aquatic center in Clarkston.

• The kids went to VBS at a local church. It was very well done...however a little overwhelming. They had over 400 kids there! It gave the kids something to do but I am also looking forward to next week not having to drive somewhere every day! Driving here is a little different then Lewiston. There is an actual Rush Hour and it can take 30 minutes or more to get across town!
  
• We were invited to a play group at the neighbors. Abby and Brock joined me and the boys stayed with Brian. We had fun but it made me miss my Friday girls in Lewiston! I think they should all pack up some weekend and come see me!
• We went to the Farmer's market in downtown Missoula this morning! We were so amazed at the number of vendors and the number of people. We felt a little out of place....so much culture and diversity! We felt a little like were transported to Seattle except it wasn't raining...it was sunny and there wasn't a cloud in the sky! We finished off the morning with lunch at the Iron Horse...an amazing restaurant! We are enjoying trying out the new restaurants in Missoula!
• Brock is talking so much these days! I feel like to need to add that into the highlights. He is constantly amazing me with the things he says and he is not even 2 yet. Last night, we took him to a "date night" daycare at the gym where Jamie works so we could get away. When we picked him up I asked him to say thank you. Instead of just saying that, he said "Taint you for da toys and taint you for da pizza. Bye bye!" and he waved! What a brilliant little guy...I guess I am partial! He is going to be 2 next week...I can hardly believe it!

• Not much unpacking has been done with all of the preparations for the first service next weekend. Hopefully once we get past that we will be able to get this house organized. Probably just in time to start packing it back up to move into the new house. Actually we haven't even broken ground yet so it will be 4-5 months before we move.
  
• We are excited for our friends to come this next week to help with the first service. Although we have met some great people here it will also be nice to see some familiar faces! We definitely miss all of our friends!

I should go for now and try to do a little unpacking while Brock is sleeping. I know my sister-in-law would be appalled at the number of boxes around my house :o) In my defense, I have been busy meeting all of my neighbors so I have someone to invite to our first service! Hope all is well with you! I should be updating more often now that we have internet!
