We are so excited about this new little house. It's only a 10 minute drive to work and is literally 1 minute away from downtown Colorado Springs. We have a old neighbor across the street named Earl who has lived in his house for 72 years. He is awesome. There are dogs and cats everywhere so Sophie and Pedro fit right in. There's a bridge down the street that goes over the highway into a big park. We really couldn't have asked to find a better place for us and we feel really blessed. My wonderful mom house hunted with me last Friday and Saturday and after looking at countless sketchy places and places that just weren't right, we landed on this house. It kind of became a no brainer but it was an exhausting search. I don't know how I would have made it without my mom here to help me, and then my brother Chris came with Jason with our stuff. Both of them helping us made such a huge difference. Without them I think I would still be cleaning this place! My mom literally spent about 5 hours cleaning only the bathroom. Gross

Jason started work officially today and I'm having a meeting with my boss this afternoon-hopefully to iron out some sort of real job description. I think I'm going to be helping with Eagle Lake a lot, even though I'm director of the Day Camp. It's cool, as long as I stay busy.
I'm not sure how long it's going to take to adjust to living here or how long it will take for it to truly feel like home, but we're excited to be here and we know we're in the right place, and that feels really good.
