We're Here!

We made it! When all was said and done (and repaired or duct taped) we pulled into Durango on Wednesday the 14th about five minutes before we signed papers on our new house. It was a gruelling trip, but quite an adventure to say the least. The last few days have been spent moving our stuff from a storage unit into the house and trying to create a new life equilibrium for our poor kids. It's hard to believe that we're here to stay. The thing that has made it feel like a homecoming has been reuniting with Joe and Heidi who have been here for two weeks now. We all sit around the table and smile--there just aren't words to describe our excitement in following God's call so many months ago and seeing it all come down to this. We are exhausted, but anxious to start putting down roots in this incredible town!


By the way, St. George is actually a Mormon saint who definitely had nothing to do with our pilgrimage across the country. The Jeep, as it turns out, only had a cracked rotor in the distributor which was fixed easily and we were on our way (for those of you who are non-mechanical, imagine going to the doctor because you think you broke your arm and he tells you it's only a hangnail--good news!).
