Just Us

We made it to Casper early in the morning Wednesday morning. We're not exactly settled in yet, but that will come in time. Soon I will post pictures of our new home (when I get some new batteries!). We will be living in Becca and Caleb's basement. My parents and sister are here, and that is so wonderful but I don't want them to leave. It really just feels like vacation right now because we haven't started jobs and Becca hasn't had to work since we got here so it's like a normal Wyoming vacation. I think things will really begin to sink in once my parents go home. I know we will be able to make this place our home; we already love the people in the church (Restoration Church) and God is opening many doors for us. One of the most exciting of those doors that God is opening is a job for me. I got a job today! This is very exciting to Nathan and I as I came without a job and we weren't sure when I would get one. I will be working as a receptionist for a large do

Yes, packing is my life right now, and I have wonderful little fingers to help me! As you can see, we don't get much work done together. There are just so many other fun things to do. It's so much more fun to put yourself in the box! Singing... my favorite pastime. Peek-a-boo! A new accomplishment, I can open AND close the door all by myself!

Life is a little crazy around here. I know, I do it to myself. We are moving in two weeks and one day, so I have been trying to pack (though it doesn't seem too successfully) while still leaving time to be with my family and friends. This weekend I ran the Bible College reunion (which seemed to be a success) then proceeded to oversee a wedding reception. And yes, now I am exhausted. Throughout all the up and downs, excitements and fears I have gone through this week, I have one little thing that brings me the joy of the wonderful life God has given me. That one little thing is my daughter Ariana. She is in such a fun stage right now, saying new words every day, singing songs, loving the outdoors and life in general. It is a wonderful thing to be a part of. Last weekend we went to Nathan's parents' house and Ariana was singing up a storm. I tried to get it on video, but if she notices you with the camera she will stop whatever she is doing and say, "CHEESE!". Very
