long overdue update.

Hi all :) It's been a while huh? We did indeed make it home from our epic "honeymoon" trip. We spent a few weeks in Tulsa with our family and then moved to a place neither one of us had ever been. Whitefish, Montana. A little crazy, but again thats kinda how we roll. 

Who would have known that the little ski town thousands of miles from t-town where I spent my first 24 years of life would soon turn into what felt like had always been home. I (we) completely fell in love with that place. The Montana way of life, and the people. The small town of only a few thousand completely stole our hearts. Not just for the scenery & small town lifestyle but for the friends we soon made and the church we became involved in.We found an amazing church, freshlife. We got involved and started going to a small group once a week. It felt so good to be somewhere and actually know and invest in peoples lives. Rob and I both left church each week challenged and encouraged in our walk with God like we haven't felt before.  I feel like we have made lifelong friends and connections from freshlife, and have grown more in our walk at that church in year than we have before.



So all that to say.. we have moved again. To Durango Colorado, I know God has brought us to this new place for a reason. We prayed and prayed again to make sure we were making the right decision and honestly I wanted to be wrong. I wanted to stay in Montana. We have officially been here a week, we found a place, and have somewhat settled in. Which by the way we finally have a place for visitors, so come visit :) It is both our hearts desire to move back to Montana, settle down, and start a life there. When that will be I don't know. But God awakened a desire in both of us to call Montana home someday. But until He takes us back there, we will serve and follow Him wherever He takes us.



As far as other updates Rob has a job on a initial attack fire crew and should be home alot more than previous summers (YAY) He has been roasting his own coffee (which is messy) so I have to leave the house while he does it, haha. BUT I do enjoy drinking it. And stays busy just being an all around awesome husband :)

As for me I'm running my first half marathon June 9th, We have doubled our elevation in the move so I've been pretty humbled by running here lately, however I'm determined to do this thing. And Rob's running it too! Nutrition and fitness have become a huge passion of mine and I'm also pursuing a certification in personal training. No job here yet, I'm ok with being a "lady of leisure" but Rob doesn't agree so I'm looking. 

We will be updating more often, so check back.
