Nebraska?

If you have been following our family and this blog, you know that the past 2 years have been quite a journey for our little family. When Matt was laid off in Maryland, we searched for understanding of what to do next. It became clear that Chiropractic work, just wasn't going to cut it for us so we started looking into schools. Matt decided that it would be best to go back to school and become a nurse practitioner. He still loves chiropractic work and hopes to keep up his skills, but job security in a related field seemed a bit more appealing to us. Matt was accepted to Creighton University and we have moved to Omaha.
     I must admit that when we arrived here, I was disappointed. Maryland had been weeks into spring, the trees were blooming, flowers were bright and beautiful, and the weather was so mild. Omaha, on the other hand, was apparently still in winter. Nothing was growing when we got here, and I had very little hope that anything here could be beautiful.
     About a week later, however, the weather warmed up and the green started to appear. So, it is with a guilty conscience that I must admit that it can be beautiful here. Many people landscape their yards beautifully, and all the rain and humidity keeps lawns and trees green.
     Another thing that I have come to be impressed about, is the wide variety of fun family activities available to us here. One place is the Zoo. It is awesome, and Peter loves the animals. He especially likes the lions, baby lions, and sharks (thanks to The Lion King and Finding Nemo). :-)
