5 months?!

Sad day. My last post was 5 months ago. Maybe life became boring enough to me that I didn't think you all needed an update? Or we got REAAAAAAAALLLLLLYYYY BUSY. Yeah, that one.

August and September passed, and I settled into my job at the church. Many people don't realize what that entails. I didn't either! Thank your local church office and/or pastor today. They work their booties off.

We realized in September that we could actually qualify for a home! God bless the VA and the loan they granted us for 3.75% and no down payment. We are eternally grateful, and would have had to wait  LONG time to ever purchase. We found a fantastic house smackdab in the middle of everything we love, and closed on Oct. 7th! That means we have officially been living in our new abode roughly 3 months. Come visit!

Christmas has since passed and we had a lovely time celebrating in our new home, not traveling anywhere. No stress of catching our flight on time. Just a nice hot cup of brew and fuzzy slippers. Sigh.

We spent the new year with some of our dearest friends. And now we will look forward to what this year holds for us. 2011 was solely spent cultivating our new life in Colorado springs. Now, 2012 might be a time to relax? Probably not, but we are grateful for the excitement and how-not-mundane life always seems to have. Now, I have to clean and grocery shop. I guess that's pretty mundane. :)
