We're finally in!!

Helloo there, time for another update :-) I've been trying to add this post for days now, I just never seem to be able to get on here. Either Jason is still working on it and Kristen is playing on hers after we've done school, or if Jason gets off, I sit with him out on the deck and watch the sunset.

Anyway, we are finally in our new home and although we don't have any furniture as yet, we do have the computers that we brought with us (actually we just brought one and we bought a new one so Kristen could do her school work on it, while Jason worked from home too!). So I'm hoping to try and blog a little more now, and evern MORE once we get our other computers and I get my own back.
We closed on the house last Monday, and as soon as we had the keys we drove over here. We had nothing but the clothes in our suitcases, and the computers, and the puppies :-) After an hour or so of just soaking it all in (the views are just gorgeous), we left the puppies in the house (Bindi in the utility room, cos she's not potty trained, and Boo still doesn't like her!) and we went off to walmart. We bought airbeds, camping chairs, some pans, paper plates and plastic cultery, AND a tv!!! We've been living like this since then, and loving it. We'll love it even more once all of our furniture can be delivered. We just found out yesterday that that won't be until next Friday!!!! Urghhh, I don't think I can wait that long, but I have no choice!

I showed a few pictures of the views from our deck a couple of posts ago. Tonight I want to share some of the gorgeous sunsets we've been getting. Jason and I like to try and sit out there most evenings and just watch the sun go down. A glass of wine (and a beer) make it all the more relaxing :-)


I took these tonight. 




The last one is not as clear but it's a photo of the 'Sleeping Indian' Mountain. It's kinda hard to see in this picture, but the mountain in the middle of the picture is known as that because it looks like an Indian lying down (his head is at the left, feet sticking up at the right).  We googled the 'sleeping Indian' for more info but it turns out it's actually called Devil's Head Mountain!! There's a bigger picture on Wikipedia HERE.

I have some other things to chat about, that we've done this week, Kristen and I went to our first field trip with K12, AND I went out to my first book club meeting!!!! I will post more about those next time ;-)

DENISE! It was so good to hear from you? Sounds like you are enjoying life in Colorado. I so hope all is going well for you. I'm glad you finally got into your house, even if you are still "camping"!

We do sit on our porch a lot! It's very protected since it's tucked into a "nook." My hubby sits out there nearly every morning, and on weekends we often have a glass of wine together out there. :)

Come right over and you and I will have a drink and catch up, okay?
