We're in Denver (as if this is a surprise to anyone)! A month and a half ago we moved here, and I've gone over this blog post over and over in my mind trying to make it funny, yet real. Our move here has been one of the most difficult things I've ever done in my life, and yet I see so much good in it.
Our LDS ward here is wonderful, there are so many good and friendly people that have welcomed us with open arms. We are renting out a town home, and that in and of itself has been interesting as we haven't rented since my nine year old was a two year old; seven years! Matt is really busy with work, and that has been wonderful because again, there is hope for something better.
Our littles are doing well; school here is quite challenging and while that is difficult for them, they'll only be better off in the long run.
We've gone a couple times to a place called the Red Rock Amphitheater. It's about 30-45 minutes from us and it's become my happy place. I feel my heart becoming lighter as I go out there and can just spend time in something like the mountains.

Our first week here, we celebrated sweet Annie's 7th birthday. She is a beautiful, helpful daughter. We have our struggles, but mostly when I look at her in awe and wonder how she got to be so tall and pretty. Dad and Mom Shelley came over with us when we moved and we got to have them over for Annie's birthday. She was delighted.

Today, Annie is learning to embroider, and it's been fun to show her, but it's also be a trial in patience. I have to remember that she is only seven, and this is her first time.

My children have two days off for President's Day and it's been nice having them home and not having to run all over. I figured living in the city would mean that things would be close by, but I'm driving around more than I ever have in my life! But we're busy and mostly happy. Things are going well.
