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.

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 ...
