Today as I was putting in my contacts Lily said "Mommy can I take my eyes off?"

Thankful :)

We pretty much had the best day ever. I am so thankful for each person you see here. :)

Cabin Fever

So....we traded the wilderness of Wyoming for the wilderness of the Talladega National Forest. We are temporarily living in this cabin in the woods on some property that Zack's parents own. It is an absolutely beautiful place to be. So peaceful. However, this wilderness is about 5 miles from Target and just about anywhere else I would want to shop or eat. Ahhhhhh. What more could you ask for? Well maybe I would ask for a few more square feet. This little gem is just over 400 square feet. Yes. But we're making it work and are thankful to have it until we can find a house of our own. And I'm sure one day I'll look back on this time and laugh. And maybe I'll be able to sneeze without everyone else around me knowing....

Sweet Home Alabama

I know-we've been here for a month already but bare with me while I retrace our steps. Zack's parents graciously (some would say in a moment of weakness) agreed to fly out to Wyoming and help us drive back. I booked the moving van which we quickly realized was too small as soon as we saw it. It said it would fit a 3 bedroom house-I guess they weren't counting on all of our junk. I had a near meltdown because I thought we were going to have to leave a lot of our things behind. But some dear friends of ours from church, Roy and Rheeda, came to the rescue and literally got 99% of our things on this truck. To say it was a long trip would be an understatement. Some might say it looked like the Beverly Hillbillies...and you would be right. However, we all made it safe and praise be to God! We are home sweet home and so grateful to be here. :)

Our Little Punkins'

 

Goodbye, Farewell

This week has been one of many goodbyes as we prepare to leave here and make the big move home. We are beyond excited to be surrounded by our families again but, there are many people and of course places that we will miss dearly. Our church has been our home away from home and a source of tremendous growth for us as a couple and as parents. We will miss it dearly! We have made some great friends here and then there is sweet little Howard and Vivian. Last night we had a goodbye dinner with them and we had a blast. Lily and Annie are sure going to miss them and they're not the only ones. Thats all I can say-I'll go cry now.  
 

Wyoming Football

While its true that football is just not as popular here as the South, we'll take what we can get! Zack and I have made it to a few of the high school games here and had just as much fun. The one we made it to a few weeks ago just happened to be Homecoming. As you can see, our view was still reminiscent of Wyoming :) During half time, this group of guys came running out of the stands in nothing but their speedos (swimming, by the way, is HUGE here) to make their mark on the festivities. The game was great and Lily had a blast. Her favorite was the cheerleaders, of course, and she loved to yell "Touchdown!" at random times.
