New Mexico Autumn

So It has been awhile since my last blog and it is time to update. In March of 2009 (this past spring), we moved our little family to the desert of New Mexico....just north of Albuquerque. Just in time too....after we moved down, Colorado Springs had massive snow storms and we were a little sad and more than a little glad to have missed them. We moved into my parents RV (rv is really very small). It was small and cozy but we stuck it out for about 5 months while we prayed, waited and hoped for the sale of our home which never happened. In August, we moved to a small rental home nearby and the kids started school. We are getting to know the people at church and are working on making new friends, but we are so very greatful for the "Colorado Transplant" family we have here. Our dear friends from HP who moved down as well have been our little family here...through surgeries, sicknesses, celebrations, and Happy Hour get-togethers, we have come to love each one of them for their kindness, and love for our family. I am very excited and curious to see what our first New Mexico Winter brings...while there are facebook comments and emails about how cold it is in Idaho, and Utah, and especially Colorado who got their 1st snowfall in September this year....we are enjoying days on end of 70-80 degree weather so far so I will be greatful and hope for a pleasant winter season...
We are gearing up for Halloween and the kids are excited to be able to wear their costumes minus the snow suit under them! We are incredibly greatful for all of the people in our lives who touch our lives for good...show a little kindness...or just simply let us know we are loved. Life is not always easy but it sure helps when you know the scope of supporters are many and spread out. So to those of your all over the country.....Thank you for making life a little easier to bear.
