Taking up residency

So at the beginning of the month Jacob's brother Matt and his wife Jessica moved down to AZ and will live here for the next two years while he attends grad school at ASU. We couldn't be more thrilled to have them here! Already we've loved hanging out with them at restaurants, pools, our house and their apartment, and are so excited for the time we'll have with them in the coming years.

Jacob's parents came down with M&J and helped them move in. It was so good to see them again and welcome them under much better circumstances. Jacob's dad returned home the following day, but his Mom was able to stay for the rest of the week and we loved having her here. She stayed in a resort hotel for the first few nights and we loved swimming at the pools. She even kept the girls with her two nights for a sleepover and they were in heaven to get to stay at the hotel while Dad, Tommy, and I were the ones left at home. The last few nights she spent at our house and we loved being able to visit with her and spend more time together. I couldn't ask for a better mother in law and am so grateful for the support she has always offered me and for the wonderful boy she raised up to be my man.

I sure married into a wonderful family and feel like a fully integrated part of the clan.
