Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

There has been a lot of unexpected excitement on my humble blog lately! The comments have been fun, uplifiting and thought provoking. I enjoy a good debate! It makes me realize that there are people reading this blog that I probably don't know and will never know and that is really cool to me. All comments are welcome-some may not be taken seriously-but all are welcome!

We have arrived! Day three of the job and things are hoppin'. It feels so great to be here. To finally see the facilities we'll be using, and to plan with people I can ask questions to only an office away instead of 14 hours away has been fabulous. Jason and I are living in a little house called the Bungalow, which is also affectionately known as the "hobbit hole." This is not because the people here are obsessed with the Lord of the Rings. No, it is because way back when, when the founder of Colorado Springs built his castle (which is now the Navigators conference center/hotel) he also built his children a life-size doll house. This doll house is now our real house. Pretty spiffy if you ask me. The only room you feel like a giant in is the bathroom. Other than that it is quite cozy. We would have no right to complain if we had to live in a tent all summer on this property because it is so, so beautiful. It's inspiring just to look around you while you're on the property. You can see some of the rock figurations from the Garden of the Gods just down the road. We also back up into a huge canyon of red rock. It is awe inspiring. The comic relief around here are the turkeys. One of them flew over my co-workers car yesterday while she was driving and she nearly ran herself off the road in shock! There's nothing quite like waking up to the sound of turkeys roosting. I'm thinking about making an afternoon competition with the kids and whoever catches a turkey wins a prize. =)

I am just beside myself with happiness being here and I'd love it if the summer lasts a long, long time.
