Grant and I are about to complete our first month here in Denver. During this seemingly short time a lot has happened.
*After a week of bumming at Alisa & Tommie's house (Grant's sister and brother-in-law), we finally moved in to our place. (See pictures)*We've explored our little area of town, known as the community of Bow Mar in Denver. We live within 4 miles of a farmer's market grocery store (Sunflower Market) and other grocery places, a movie theater, Bally fitness (as if we'll use it, ha!), two Super Target's, a really nice mall, REI (outdoors place we're just wild about), and tons of shopping and restaurants. Talk about prime location!
*We've taken advantage of every moment to see the mountains. In our area we're about 10 miles from the main ranges, which is a lot closer than any of the other family that lives out here.
*We've had two good snow days with about 4-6 in. each time. Once, we went sledding for an afternoon. (See pictures)
*Even amidst the snow, nearly every day the temp. has made it up to 45 or 50! So nice!
*I got a job as a nanny! Next week I'll start looking after a 13mo. old little girl named Madelynn (unsure of spelling just yet). I'm really excited about this opportunity; I'll only be working four days a week and will get paid really well!
*Grant is in the process of getting a job. He's had a couple of interviews with some print shops and has been given a conditional offer for a FT position, so be praying that that comes through! He's also been given the opportunity to help out with a home construction job for a month.
*We've spent plenty of time with the Bozich's and Perret-Gentil's here in Denver, both of which are Grant's sisters and brothers-in-law. And we absolutely love every moment we have with them. We also get to be with our 13mo. old niece and will be welcoming another niece next month!
*We watched the Florida Gators win the Orange Bowl. (See pictures)
*We've visited three different churches so far, and we think we've found our community already! We never thought things would come together so quickly, but we're about 99.9% sure "Aspen Grove" is going to be our new church home. I could go on and on about this place, but I'll spare you. Feel free to call me and ask more about it though.
*I'm in the process of putting a personal blog together for the two of us. I know it sounds like there are too many to follow these days, but we've had tons of friends and family ask for updates on us two, and it will help us keep people updated. So be looking for an update on that here soon.
Of course there's been so much going on in our lives that it's tough to mention it all, but I hope this little update will whet your appetites.
We look forward to hosting all of you as you plan your trips to Denver! We love you all so very much.
Warmly,
b&g
