The Arkansas River and Fort Smith



On our move to Arkansas we stayed a night in Fort Smith, Arkansas -which is just across the border. We were walking this bridge to see the welcome to Arkansas sign, but it was going to be a scary trek so we took a picture of the Welcome to Oklahoma sign instead. You get the idea. :)

Our hotel was really nice -- Sam loved the water feature, elevator and the swimming pool! Yes we went swimming. Sam loves water.

The next morning we made it the rest of the way to Jacksonville to stay in the Temporary Lodging Facility for a few nights. So far Arkansas is awesome! We love the trees here in Arkansas, it makes us feel like we're in the mountains. We are really close to Little Rock but don't feel like we're close to a big city which is nice and convenient. We've got the best of both worlds. The weather has been beautiful, but we hear the summers are a different story. So our stay in Arkansas should be awesome since we will be gone before June 30th. Ha, I'm sure they wouldn't be much worse than the summers in Oklahoma.

    Glad to see that you are still moving forward with your adventure. The South is such a beautiful part of the country! Sure, Utah has mountains, but you are right about the trees there! The thick green forests that seem to be everywhere are quite a sight to behold! Thank you for the update!

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, learning, and practi

Happy Halloween

Thanks to the Schmidt pumpkin patch  I have several cute little pumpkins I've always wanted and thanks to the Daniels party for the cute carved pumpkins that really set the Halloween tone! The Schmidt Sisters!  October 23rd we had the annual Grandpa Jess Birthday Party get together! I felt like it had been forever since the Daniels family had been together.  Not enough catching up happened for me, but it was sure fun to be around family and carve pumpkins. It helped me start to get into the Halloween spirit. Bummer that I did not take pictures at the party. But these pumpkins made me smile each day I saw them on our porch. Halloween was so much fun when you were a kid, but as I have aged the holiday has lost it's excitement. For Halloween this year we happened to be in Salt Lake with the Schmidts. Justin was presenting his IHC idea and I had the day to myself. The Schmidt family gathered at the pumpkin patch for pictures before the night of trick or treating would

Going to the park with Sam has always been enjoyable, but lately it has become a lot more fun! Sam is a thrill seeker for sure! He loves going down the slide head first! Sam screams when we walk away from the swing - He loves swinging! He loves when we peep through the different holes Yes, he is crawling right to the slide, letting himself down head first
