It has been a busy month. We moved to Englewood, Colorado, I had a final the next day, and then I left for Malawi, Africa for 16 days.
We had a great trip with a lot of good people. It is really nice to surround yourself with genuine people who share the same passion for travel. That's all I'm going to say about the trip. If you want more details...COME VISIT US IN COLORADO! :) We can also Skype sometime if travel isn't an option. There will be pictures up on shutterfly soon. I'll post the link when I get them up.
Upon arriving "home," it doesn't feel like home because we'd only been here one day before I left, I was greeted by my sweet husband and two furry kids. I had two days of rest and then we had friends from Indiana drive in to spend the week. They arrived early to surprise our friend Josh on his birthday, July 4. Since they've been here we've hit up all the sights, laid by the pool, ATE, and enjoyed each other's company. I've added more books to my reading list thanks to Katie, our English Ed book loving friend. They'll be leaving Saturday.
Steven and I will get back to the daily grind. He's been working in northern Denver as a Community Director for a property up there. It's been nice getting to see him in a tie everyday. :) I've been finishing up my graduate assistantship, class, and applying for jobs like crazy. A mix up with my license is putting things in slow motion right now, but I trust that God has a plan for how this is all supposed to turn out. Hopefully I'll be starting my first year of teaching in August, but if not I'll find a part time job and continue taking grad classes.
Some interesting things to leave you with about our new home:
- Our apartment came with a loft.
- 4 miles away is Columbine High School.
- We are within a good walk of a light rail station.
- There is a bike path that runs along the backside of the property.
- Sadly, there is no longer an awesome view of the mountains from our apartment. (I miss the Springs!)
- Our apartment came with a washer and dryer!!!
- We have vaulted ceilings.
- 20 minutes/8 miles separate us from our good friend, Josh.
- Denver has a Sunflower Market.
- There are no mule deer or mountain lions creeping around neighborhood.
