Oh yeah...

I REALLY miss crafting!!!! Don't know what I'm going to do this summer while packing...unless we have the movers pack us, which is still up in the air. The savings would be great, but if we pack ourselves and something happens to the truck...then we lose out.

And I just KNOW my husband is going to want me to pack up the craft supplies first...if not leave it all behind!...that way I won't be tempted to craft instead of pack!! I just need to keep explaining to him that it is my way of de-stressing, which I'm going to need a lot of during the next two months.

At least I have all the wonderful creations of my blogging friends to admire...

Anxious and disappointed...but how funny is this!

My time these past two weeks has pretty much exclusively been devoted to finding a rental home in Laramie, Wyoming. It is not going well…at all. We’ve discovered, too late, that the majority of rentals are geared for University and graduate students…not families wanting a single family home.

We’ve already rented our home here in Northern, Virginia and have to be out by August 1. We also have to be in Laramie by early August, so there’s not much room for flexibility on dates. With no place to land in our new home town, we’re starting to panic!

We just missed out on what could have been…the temporary “home”…for us, by a mere few hours. Ironically, the colors in this home are the same color palette that we have in our own home! How funny is that? Although much smaller than our home, we think it would have more than adequately met our needs.

Oh well…sigh…and all that. Back to Craig’s list and the Laramie Boomerang!!!

Take a look at the colors of our two homes…funny, no?!

Looking into our kitchen from the family room...


Looking into their kitchen from the dinning area...

Weird. At least it gave me a good chuckle. Now...back to house hunting.

Thanks for stopping in...

Life is an Adventure…

We’ve finally made the decision. In August we'll be moving to this place…

Apprehensive...excited…nervous…scared…happy…sad...and wondering, what life in a small town will hold for us Easterners...

because this is where we live now.

I'm looking at it as an...Adventure!

Busy...

Been spending all my time working these past two weeks on looking into all things re our (more than potential) new home and town, i.e., house rental or house purchase, schools, etc. etc., but hope to be back soon with some new cards.

Roads with a view...

where we might live...

So how different can life be...

in a small, western university town when you get served hot chocolate that looks like this?!

Hot chocolate presented to our son at Coal Creek Coffee. The Barista who whipped this up is headed to the Barista Championship in Portland, Oregon in March. We wish him luck!

How our lives...they might be a'changing…soon.
