We miss sports and a lot of other people and things!
Phil and I have come to the conclusion that taking the winter off of sporting activities is a bad idea.
I love my kids, but 24/7 it too much!
I've spent quite a few hours already looking at potential teams for the kids to join. It looks like the boys will join the Stockton Elite Wrestling Club. They meet at a school less than a mile away. I'm still working on finding a basketball club for Cora. As I email coaches I mention that we are from Huxley, IA. I wonder what they think when I mention that. I decided to Google Huxley and see what Wikipedia had to say. I then did the same with Stockton. There's a reason that we've all felt a culture shock, it's because it is one!
As of the census[3] of 2010, there were 3,317 people, 1,194 households, and 884 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,053.0 inhabitants per square mile (406.6 /km2). There were 1,322 housing units at an average density of 419.7 per square mile (162.0 /km2). The racial makeup of the city was 95.6% White, 1.0% African American, 0.2% Native American, 0.5% Asian, 1.1% from other races, and 1.7% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.2% of the population.
The 2010 United States Census[14]
reported that Stockton had a population of 291,707. The population
density was 4,505.0 people per square mile (1,739.4/km²). The racial
makeup of Stockton was 108,044 (37.0%) White, 35,548 (12.2%) African American, 3,086 (1.1%) Native American, 62,716 (21.5%) Asian, 1,822 (0.6%) Pacific Islander, 60,332 (20.7%) from other races, and 20,159 (6.9%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 117,590 persons (40.3%). Non-Hispanic Whites were 22.9% of the population in 2010,[15] down from 57.1% in 1980.[6]
Lodi is a nice small town just to the North of us about 5 miles. We like going there. Last Thursday I mention to Phil if the size of Lodi was equivalent to the size of Ames.
Wouldn't that be funny, me calling Ames a small Iowa town.
Lodi: The 2010 United States Census[7] reported that Lodi had a population of 62,134.
I also really miss fall. Yesterday I Googled if/when leaves changed colors around here.
Yes, they do. They change late October into December.
We are at the point in our venture when the honeymoon is over, it's now real and we are here and not there. This last week has been the hardest. Even reading about Cora's soccer team playing in Waverly was a tough one to take.
Sorry, I probably just made some of you cry, I'm crying.
Thanks for loving us,
Jessica
