Made You Wait

Three weeks without a blog post?!  That's just crazy, and we apologize.  These last weeks have been nothing short of busy.  On July 28th, Davis and I moved out of our apartment in Stillwater.  We successfully moved all of our belongings to Edmond, Oklahoma for a few more weeks, until departure.  Here is a view of what it looked like as we slowly packed things up in our apartment in Stillwater:

 

All done!

Davis also sold his car:

Our friends, David and Kelsey got married: 

Then, we took off to Pagosa Springs, Colorado that night! :

We stopped at Santa Fe, New Mexico along the way: 

Drove to Mesa Verde National Park: 

We played mini golf, badminton, shuffleboard, and croquet in Pagosa Springs: 

We drove to Telluride, where we rode a gondola up the mountain.  We drove to Trout Lake, Ouray, and Durango. :

Trout Lake

I'm happy to be on this gondola!

Mountain Village

Mountain Village

Not very steep, so it was fun!

Ouray

And did I mention we saw a double rainbow across the sky?

This was the view from our cabin in Pagosa Springs: 

We also went on a hike about 30 minutes from Pagosa Springs: 

This trail was SO steep!  Hello, Rocky Mountains!

I should also mention that we had a not-so-little visitor 3 nights in a row at our cabin in Pagosa Springs:

Last but not least, we visited the sulfur springs in Pagosa:

So, that was our week in Colorado.  Fun?  Yes.  Eventful?  Yes.  Our week back in Oklahoma has been filled with moving boxes from the garage into Davis's old bedroom.  While doing this, we've been picking things out that we want to take to China with us.  3 more weeks until takeoff!  Oh, I'm so excited to see what our Father has in store for us there, and I'm looking forward to the 'house church' atmosphere with other Americans.  Most of all, I'm looking forward to working on my relationship with the Father while I'm there.  I know it was good for me the first time I went over there, so I am looking forward to that time with Him again.  Most MOST of all, I get to do all these things with my best friend in the world - my husband!  (Can't you tell I'm excited?!)
