Oh Boxes!!

Just when I think that we are unpacked I find more boxes. Of course they have random things in them that I am not quite sure where to put. Also this evening I thought I had finally completed laundry then I changed our sheets and found a sneaky pile of dirty clothes and the hamper is full. Goodbye sense of accomplishment.

Today I heard a story about a woman from Czechoslovakia who went to an American grocery store for the first time. When she saw all the food she just stood there and cried. She couldn’t believe all the food and how beautiful it is. May I be grateful for having clothes to fold and wash and belongings to find a place for.

Happy 4th of July

So it is the 4th, one of my favorite holidays. We have been in Colorado now for 10 days. Today we celebrated with friends and family. For lunch we headed into Castle Rock to have lunch with the Meverdens (Joe, Beth, Anna, & Joshua). We had an awesome time at their house,  they are like family to us. After that we stopped at the store and then headed back up the mountain to meet up with Gabe, my mom and the amazing Stacey Decker. We just hung out, played a sweet game of “throw the golf balls on the rope” and had dinner right off the grill. It was actually a little chilly here tonight, right now the temp is 60 degrees. Here are the most common questions about us answered.

Question: Did you find a job yet? 

Answer: No

Question: Are you all settled in?

Answer: Almost

Question: Do you like living in Colorado?

Answer: Yes

Question: Do you miss FL

Answer: No but we do miss our family there. (Have a good Monday night bible study friends!)

I had to post this

This is a picture I found in a magazine at the library in Castle Rock.

Nehemiah is having so much fun exploring now that he can crawl. Our basement apartment is coming together. We mainly just have our bedroom to unpack. We basically live in the mountains. If you have tried to call we do not have the best service. It has been so nice to see friends and family.
 

Mmm Folgers

Nehemiah cut his first tooth the other night! None of us got much sleep. He enjoyed biting on this while I changed his diaper.

We are getting ready to leave the hotel. It was great that we stopped for the night we both needed the rest. I thought I would post some pictures from the road. Just click the picture above to see more. Enjoy! Colorado here we come!

Another Night In A Hotel 10:23pm Mountain Time

We are about 19 miles outside of Coloado in Goodland Kansas, I think. We decided to stop and get some sleep rather than push it. Arissa encouraged us to make the stop and I acknowleged her God given wisdom. We are so close I can feel Colorado, the air is finally cooler and I can smell the mountains. I can’t wait to hold my wife and son, because then and only then am I truly home.
