Halloween 'n' stuff

Hello all! We've been blessed to move into a nice friendly ward. We've already had the counsellors in the bishopric and the bishop (separate occasions), the elders' quorum and relief society presidencies AND my visiting teachers come over; plus, I've been given a VT companion (who has already contacted me) and a route! This, and we've only been going a little over a month! How awesome is that! I'm so grateful for it. I was praying we would find a good fellowshipping ward to help us all feel welcome. Yet again the Lord has blessed me in answer to my prayers far beyond what I could have hoped for!

We've also been involved in the ward activites already. My VT companion, Erin, let us know about the ward halloween party last week. That was fun. It was at the church, with a little spook alley & trick or treating. We didn't take Xavier through the spook alley, though, because I didn't think he'd like it. I went to enrichment on the 14 - progressive dinner, yum! Erin also invited me to play volleyball with some of the ladies Friday mornings, and I went last week. It was nice to meet new people.

Our unpacking, though slow, is progressing: On Tuesday evening, Xavier got to sleep in his own room for the 1st time ever! That's been nice for everyone, I think, except in the morning for our little guy when I'm tired and don't hear him right away! He was pretty sad one day when that happened. Oops :). All in all, our stuff is slowly finding a home. It's been a challenge for us, trying to fit a house's worth of stuff in a small apartment. We're getting there, though. As our place is subsidized, we have a 2-month inspection on the 11th, which is coming right up. That being said, we need to make sure things are the way they should be by then. It's a little stressful, but we'll get there.

Finally, check out some of my favorite Halloween pics from last night!
