Finally Settled in Wisconsin!!!

Well, we are finally all settled in Wisconsin. It's been a process getting here but we made it. After three long 1500 mile drives (from Id to WI then WI to ID then one more trip from ID to WI) we are here! Jeff hit the nail on the head when he described Two Rivers as "What Rigby would have been like, years ago, had the freeway not been put in." It's smaller than Rexburg but bigger than Rigby. It's a real clean town and everyone takes great care of their yards. Everyone seems real down to earth and friendly. There are two local grocery stores: Pick n Save and Piggly Wiggly (I'm not kidding); A few different places to eat and even a McDonald's and Subway; a nice library; a great department store called Schroder's and a True Value that Jeff likes already; and a nice restruant that has a great view of Lake Michigan just to name a few. It has the small town feeling but is also only about 10 miles from Manitowoc which is bigger and has the big chain stores like Lowe's, WalMart, etc. I think it's going to be OK living here. It's just a yuckie time of year to be moving anywhere. I have a tendency to just stay home because it's cold outside! Just like Idaho. The church here is a small Ward. We've only been once because they cancelled it last week because of a storm. The people seem real friendly. Tonight I'm going to enrichment and tomorrow night is the Ward Christmas Party. Jeff has really been overwhelmed at work. He knew he would be and I'm sure it's going to get better for him. It's a big project and alot for him to learn besides just what it takes to get used to a new place and a new job. He's been working 10 hr. days. We are already looking forward to our first trip home on the 20th. It will be great to see our family for the Holidays.
