All It Takes is Rain

Well, we have been here for a week now. One week, can you believe it? I have to tell you something though. When we first moved in, we left Dexter with the grandparents and Ashton took me for a drive around Council Bluffs. I must say that I hated it. I thought it was an old, dirty town, and was not happy that I had to spend the next 4 years here. Yes, it is green everywhere and some parts are pretty, but I couldn't see past the rundown stores and old homes with old railroads crossing through everything. If you know what Pocatello, ID looks like picture that but bigger. Yuck! I actually told Ashton he moved me to Pocatello just in the Mid-West. Today however, it changed. You see it rained again today, and for some reason everything looked clean and newer as we were driving around. All I could think about is the primary song, that goes, "I like to look for rainbows, whenever there is rain. And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again...." Isn't rain amazing? I actually think now that I will like this place, maybe even love this place when these 4 years are up. Also, I love this quote and I think it is very fitting for me right now:

"Come what may, and love it."
