I said I was going to start this blog FOREVER ago, but I never got around to it! So much is changing in our lives, and I love the idea of being able to keep a record of everything that's happening. So, here I go....
After living in Texas for the first two years of our marriage, Preston and I moved back to Colorado (where I'm
originally from) this summer. When I first moved to Texas for school I didn't understand why people liked it so much. But after living there for 6 years, I now understand. There's just something about it!
I never thought I'd say this, but I was actually a little sad to leave! We left behind our AMAZING friends (WE MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!), a church we loved, our jobs, Preston's family, and our very first apartment. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm ecstatic to be back home with my family and old friends. To say the least, the move was definitely bittersweet!
Preston had a smooth
transition to his new office in Denver with the same company, and I was incredibly blessed to find a teaching job at an alternative high school for urban youth who have either dropped out or been kicked out of their previous schools. I already miss my students from last year, but I know God has great things in store for this year! School starts Monday....I can't wait to give everyone an update!
In other news, we bought our first house! I promise I'll put pictures up soon. We won't move in until October because we (I say we, but I really mean Preston, my dad, and brothers) gutted the entire house. All the doors, trim,
counter tops, cabinets, flooring, popcorn ceilings, fixtures, and appliances have been taken out. We already filled an entire
dumpster!! There's a lot of work to be done, but I think it will be our perfect first home when we're finally done!
I think that's all the updates I have for now. More to come soon!
