"All he cares about are treats and snoozin..."

I apologize for my very long absence. I am working on a mega post from a camping trip we took a few months ago. I want to TRY and post at least once a week. Sorry to all the friends and family that I gave this link to telling you that you could see what we're up to. I've done a terrible job.

In short, life has been beyond wonderful. The transition out here has been so smooth and easy and we are genuinely loving every minute of it! We have been blessed with a wonderful church and community which has been so good for our hearts! We are definitely feeling more and more settled here. Lately we have been spending time in the mountains working on my snowboarding skills. My husband has got to be THE MOST patient (and selfless) man in the entire world. He has spent his first two days helping me learn instead of doing all the crazy things I know he is capable of doing on that snowboard. Nate, you're the greatest.

We have had LOTS of precious visitors as well! The Valdez' (or Valdezes?), my Momma, the Goodmans and the Caplingers even stopped in on their way to Portland! AND this week Nate's Mom and sisters are coming! I love that our home is so centrally located. It means LOTS of visitors! And we LOVE IT! So, this is an official invitation to anyone reading this to come visit us!

That's all for now! More to come!


Love, Nate and Alex
