We officially moved on the 19th. The kids started school on the 22. Brett was terrified and adamant that we homeschool him for the rest of the year. I held strong and registered him at the middle school with 7 all new classes and him knowing not one soul at the school. I cried for him as I dropped him of that morning hoping and praying that he would be ok and not hate his new school or have a hard time making friends. At 11:45 the following conversation via text occurred:
Brett: "Mom, I have a lot of friends"
Mom: "See I told you, I knew you would like it here"
Brett : "Yeah I have like 7 girls numbers"
Mom: "WHAT???"
Brett: " I'm not kidding"
Mom: " Well tell them to back off your too young"
The following 2 weeks he texted more on his phone with girls than he has texted in the previous 2 years of having the cell phone. He has been dubbed "Ladies Man" by the girls here, despite the fact that he won't let me near him with a comb, let alone a pair of scissors!!

I'm SO happy (and relieved) for you both! I can't imagine what a terrifying change that was. I'm so glad it's working out. And tell those crazy girls to BACK OFF. Holy Cow! ;)
Kristin, just read about all of your adventures. You've had quite the year so far! You are such an amazingly strong person -- wish I could have been around to help! If you ever need a place to come stay in Salt Lake County -- we'd love to have you guys (or at least see you).
