During the summer Daniel decided what he wanted to do for school. Gunsmithing, what is that? Don't ask me! ;) So we looked around for places he could enroll. He found 2 places on this side of the Mississippi-Arizona & Colorado. We looked at all the pros and cons and Colorado it was! So we packed up our apartment and moved in with parents. In October we went to Colorado, looked around and found us a nice apartment. We rented a U-Haul, packed it up and both our cars! (Barely had enough room!) Then on November 28th at 5 O'clock in the morning we headed out. We landed at our apartment at about 5:30 that evening. We were exhausted from all the packing and the long drive, so we only unpacked our cars and grabbed our sleeping bags and sacked out on our family room floor. The next morning we (well...about 94.7% Daniel) unloaded the U-Haul. We got everything sorted and put away that day and the next except our couch..... We ended up putting the couch in the back of Daniel's truck for about 2 or 3 weeks. I was not about to help carry up a 50,000 lb.couch up 3 flights of stairs!! Okay, so it's not 50,000 lbs, but I can tell you this.. IT'S HEAVY!! I could have toughed it out on flat ground, but stairs?? NOOOO, thank you! The first week at church we met a couple that was in the same boat as us, newlyweds with no kids, and the husband had been in the Army so Daniel and him had a lot in common, so we've latched onto them somewhat. I thought we were pretty tight, so I had Kaylon come help Daniel Move the couch since they were both muscle men. So now we have a couch and let me tell you it's a dream! No more stacking pillows and blankets to try and stay comfortable while watching a movie.
Daniel and I have really been enjoying it here in Colorado. The people are nice, nice sunny days, and there is a lot more open land, which we both really enjoy, but yet we're 1 minute away from Walmart & Target (Literally!) I've been working hard at Pearle Vision for my cousin Ben (Dr. Dixon), while Daniel is waiting to start school and work. We miss our friends and family, but have been really enjoying this new adventure!
