Having lot's of fun in Kentucky.
Every Wednesday we go with other moms and their kids from the ward to a different park and have a picnic. It has been a great way to meet people! These pictures were taken at a park right next to the Ohio River.
We left so many great people behind in Utah but have met so many good people here. Hallie and Megan have lot's of new friends (an answer to our prayers) and it's starting to feel like home. Hallie says to me almost daily, "People are so friendly here!" We miss Utah so much but if we have to be 1600 miles away we are glad it is here in Kentucky.

Our Kentucky Home
We love our new home and I just wanted to add the story of how we found this house to our blog. It is a reminder to me of the love of a Father in Heaven.
(I wrote this in April right after we found the house.)
We looked at 50 homes! We just prayed and prayed that the Lord would guide us to the right home, schools, neighborhood etc. Trevor and I disagreed for the first 3 days and I wondered if we would ever be able to pick a home. We walked into the very last house (number 50!!!) that we were scheduled to see and we immediately felt the spirit SO STRONG and knew that even though it didn't fit some of our criteria it was "the one". I can't explain how it felt except that there was no question that our prayers were being answered. We felt peace and even though we didn't know anything about the neighborhood, schools, ward etc. we knew that it is where we are supposed to be. Yesterday I recieved and email from a girl who lives in Louisville and has been helping us. I emailed her and told her the address of the home we are buying and this is the email I got back from her.
Kathryn--I am SO excited for you. And doubly excited because, yes, you will be in our ward!!! And, there is a internal med resident and his wife and three kids who live right around the corner from you, another member who lives right in the same court, and one who lives behind your backyard--or maybe to the side of it--I'll have to see which house you bought. And, Amy, the girl who came by that night lives right next to the internal med resident family. So, I guess what I am trying to say, is that you will be surrounded by friends. And, your daughter will be going to the same elementary school as mine--Kenwood Station. I can't wait to see you out here, and let me know if i can help you with anything else.Love, Holly
I couldn't help but get emotional when I read this. I know that the Lord loves me and led us to this home. He knows I'm scared to leave my family and friends (my support system) and so he is taking care of me. I am so grateful!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!!
Megan turned 4 years-old on July 20th. We celebrated by going to the zoo to see the new baby elephant! So cute!!! Megan is such a great little girl!! She brings such joy to our family. She loves to tease and to be silly and always keeps us on our toes (and sometimes on our knees). When I'm taking pictures of the other kids I always stick Megan behind the camera so she can pull her funny faces and I can get the best smiles (Cambells pictures are proof). Life sure wouldn't be as fun without our little Meg!! Happy Birthday Meg- We Love You!!
