Rexburg!

So, pretty much skipped out on blogging in December...oh well, it was very busy and filled with family and fun and packing... We moved to Idaho this month. Richard will be starting school in April. Richard drove the moving van and moved in on the 3rd and I drove the 7-8th with Liberty and my mom. (she was nice enough to come with me and take turns entertaining Libs on the long drive, don't think i could've done it without her). It hasn't been as cold as it could be here. Still below 30 most days, but it hasn't gone into the negatives. We are mostly moved in now. Our bedroom seems to be the only place that isn't organized and is where we hide everything we don't know where to put. Our apartment is very nice. It has good windows and carpet and great closet space. It's smaller than our last place, but big enough. Liberty seems to like it well enough. She is obsessed with the bathroom. She always wants to take a bath and she takes one almost everyday. We have to keep the door shut or else we'll find her playing with her bath toys or trying to get into the trash, etc. She's learned how to knock and if she knows one of us is in the bathroom, she will knock on the door and scream until we open it, (even if the other one of us is willing to play with her.
Libby is getting closer to walking. She walks pretty well only holding one hand and can walk pushing her car push toy thing by herself. She seems quite pleased with herself. She continues to be extremely goofy and makes the funniest faces and noises and little dances. It's very cute, but can be very disruptive during church, but she's not the only noisy one there. Lots of babies and pregnant ladies in our ward. One of these days i'll have to set up a play date. Libby is also obsessed with graham crackers. She likes them enough to say it, which sounds like "ga ca" or "ga cra ca" and points to the cupboard where they're kept. She eats several a day.
Richard and I were able to go on a date yesterday. My best friend Julie lives a couple blocks away and offered babysitting services in exchange for the use of our washer/dryer. It was nice to be able to go to the temple (about a 3 min drive). Afterward we went to the Cocoa bean which is a cute little hot cocoa and cupcake shop. They make amazing hot cocoa. Quite a brilliant idea for a pretty much non-coffee drinking town.
Richard is still looking for a job. He had a couple interviews last week, so hopefully something happens with those. It seems like he's applied everywhere.
