Christmas and Iowa

For some reason, during huge events in Jordan's and I's life, I lack the desire to take pictures, blog, Facebook, or even post on Instagram. But... WE MOVED TO IOWA. Getting acclimated to a new place takes my energy, and when nap time comes along I usually just want to sleep along with Madison. This also may be because ... I AM PREGNANT! (I feel comfortable posting this on here because of the lack of people that actually read the blog.) However, I just found out a little over a week ago, and am just beginning to feel the sickness of the first semester.  Yay for babies.

Iowa is great though. I actually think I am going to like it here. The winter is rivaling Rexburg's, but I have already met some people that I actually like. We are all settled into the apartment, and I love the extra space that this apartment has compared to our tiny one in Provo!

I don't actually have any pictures of Iowa. To tell you the truth, it looks similar to Idaho in the winter, just dead trees and icy snow on the ground. I am excited for spring and summer though. I do have some pictures of Christmas that I found adorable. I'll share those.

So this post wasn't about Iowa at all. Just Christmas, which seems like ages ago. It is hard to take any pictures when you do similar things everyday and your husband is so busy that no outings are ever planned.... Over the years we will hopefully have more to share about what this state has to offer.
