Missing Hot Pot but Love the USA

What happened to 2010?  Oh, I guess it was spent:

• deciding to move to Arkansas
• family vacation to Australia
• end of school year festivities
• house hunting and packing up
• moving
• unpacking
• starting 4 kids in 3 different schools
• unpacking
• getting called as Primary President
• unpacking
• taking my kids to their first High School football game in my hometown
• and unpacking

I guess that left blogging forgotten by the wayside.

I miss Hot Pot in China.....



Actually, I miss the chatting of friends around a circular table more than the food.   I'm so happy I got to return in May to visit friends and goto Book Club once more.  Laughs, books, friends - what more could I want (besides kids who would go to bed on their own JUST ONCE)

But I love.........


....Bentonville, AR.  Our home, schools, church, friends, 4 seasons (the kids freaked out when I went outside to try and spot a tornado), blue skies, 6 hour drives to family, patriotic concerts in the park and the friendly mid-Western folks.
