I see you from a distance

I *finally* got to see little Miss Flannery today... on the computer through Skype. Isn't that an amazing thing? I think she likes me and we'll be friends one day! Oh, miss her already! Can't wait to see her in person...

Overall, I would say that I am healthily, happily busy out here. There's enough down time for me to not get overwhelmed and enough things to do and people to see to not get lonely. I usually have a few weeknights of not doing anything (which gives me time to cook, something I've been doing a lot of), but I do enjoy the little things that I do during the week. Again, least stressful time of my life- seriously, what do I have to worry about? Ok, not going to really ask myself that question because I could easily find (read: not all that important) things to worry about, that's my thing.

Here are some photos from a parade that I was in, a hike I went on, balloons from a lunch, and the Adams State College homecoming football game (it's the small college in Alamosa).

And a little update:

We are moving to Alamosa!! This is going to be a such a good change. This house here in La Jara has been home to volunteers for about 25 years, so it's a big deal to leave. However, pretty much our whole lives are in Alamosa and it's really hard to connect here in La Jara. We are closing on a house right in town: it's a block from the park, the river walk, and a bike path; it's 4 blocks to the coffeeshop (yep, the one and only); and it's going to be so much closer to our community in general. We probably won't move in until after Christmas, I was hoping we would move before, but it's not looking likely. I'm excited about the whole thing! It's going to cut my commute by about 20 minutes. We're already saying "Oh, when we move to Alamosa, we can...."
