10 Things that are different in my life these days:

  1. We don't have cable TV! I know, it's sad. I've been having foodnetwork withdrawals for days now. And we don't watch a single TV show since we don't have Tevo.
  2. My hands & heels are cracked & peeling every day. Very annoying & painful!
  3. We only eat out once a week. (It helps that there's no Chic-Fil-A)
  4. We all eat breakfast together on the weekdays which has been a super fun way to start off our day.
  5. Both kids will now run around barefoot with out whining about it.
  6. We sleep with the back door open! (Don't have a panick attack grandma's. That's just how it is here. And the screen door is locked if that makes you feel better.)
  7. Luke runs a few times a week. I don't know what's come over him! Fresh mountain air makes a man wild.
  8. I have much more time on my hands (maybe it's the cable package that's missing in my life?)
  9. We eat sweet Olathe corn twice a week. Luke insists because he loves it so much. And it's so cheap!
  10. I try to avoid Walmart & Target at all cost. I'm loving all the small town, fresh-made options too much to succumb to the the super-stores. I do confess I had to go last night for dog food & toilet paper though. We get bread at the bakery; produce at the stand; wine at the vineyards. I know I probably could've done all this in Denton too, but it's so easy here bc it's so small. Maybe that's what kept me from living this way at home. It was all so spread out. Who knows. The downside to that is: ITS SO SMALL!!! OMG! The kids & I "ran to Grand Junction" to look at curtains. No way will I ever do that again! An hour & 20 minutes of desert drive. I was about to have a panic attack realizing how truly in the middle of no-where we are. That was an experience for sure. But hey, it was all worth it. Why you ask? Because the kids got to eat at Chic-Fil-A! And it was a good night. :)
Sorry I have no pics to post. Luke has been out of town for several days & I'm just too tired to snap shots when I'm with out my partner & helper. He'll be home in the next hour or so-whew! I hope you are all enjoying the blog & seeing what we are up to. It's been a really great outlet for me to stay connected to so many people. Love you all!
