Well it has been a long while since I posted anything and thought it was about time. I'll be honest I have been a little preoccupied getting papers written for class and I kind of forgot that I even had a blog. So this is going to be a long story short to say the least.

Though I am still not 100% sure about living here, I am beginning to enjoy myself a little more and I cry because I miss everyone only about once a week compared to like every other day (maybe a bit too much disclosure but oh so true). The weather thankfully has been something that I have loved. I thought OK, and AR were bad about daily changing weather but Denver has set a new standard. Last week we had 28 inches of snow yes that is right more than 2 FEET of snow. It was incredible! Then this weekend we have been having record highs in the high 70's. I have been telling Blake that God new that I needed snow this season because I love it, so he has been giving me a lot of it. But at the same time, I get all the sunshine I need. Here is a picture of the snow outside of our apartment though it just does not do it justice.




For Halloween, Blake and I carved our annual pumpkin. You can't really tell but it is a ghost with boo in the middle of it.Very cute! We were proud of ourselves because it was a level 4 out 5 pumpkins on the difficulty scale.

I know we look a little rough, such is life

Since we have talked last we have also had a few wonderful visitors. I am so thankful for each and every one them coming. I don't know what I would have done without them. Ms. Mary (Blake's mom) and Suzanne (Blake's sis) came in September and we had a wonderful time. We went shopping, antiquing, and eating - who could ask for anything more? Then my parents came in October. Also such a treat. We all went to the Denver Aquarium, which was awesome. I felt like a kid in a candy store. The funny thing is that my favorite part of the aquarium was that they had a tiger amongst all of the beautiful fish. But to be fair the tiger did swim. Shout out to Sydo and Hunter too!! We had the best time with you all, oh to have great friends. You all were so encouraging.




I wish I had pictures from when my parents were here, but we sadly did not take a one.
Thanks to all of you who have been supportive and encouraging to Blake and I over the last couple of months. It has meant more than you will ever know.
