Home Sweet Home

Daven and I are all moved in to our new apartment. We got in Thursday evening and with the help of Daven's dad and our new Elders' Quorum, we moved in within an hour and a half.

We're pretty impressed with our new ward. After we had moved in, our bishop stopped by to introduce himself and the missionaries and a couple of priests visited us today! They say it's a pretty small ward and they were a bit concerned how we would handle it coming from BYU-Idaho. I think they assumed we came from a large ward...

We love the area in which we live. There is a King Soopers (i.e. gigantic grocery store) directly across the street. TJMax, Home Goods, and two Super Wal-Marts all within a couple miles. HEAVEN! Most of you may know this, but Home Goods is part of TJMax which means all of the deco is super cheap. We found a massive clock with a pendulum for only $24. One at Wal-Mart that doesn't even compare is about $100. We also have two malls within a five mile radius and an outdoor mall as well.

Everything is pretty good; however, I have had a couple bad experiences. One was a crazy driver yelling obscenities at us and another was a crazy mother yelling even more obscenities...directed at me. Yeah, pretty sure I almost cried. Oh well.

Well, I should go to bed, but we saw the new Indiana Jones movie. I'll have to write about that in my next post. All I can say is hope it's the last one...

Glad you made it safe! By the way, you can go into new posts and then edit your posts and delete the duplicate if you want to. It's pretty easy.

Did you know you can erase a post if you want? Maybe you don't want to though. I am glad you made it but Ia m sorry about the rude people. Hopefully that's not a sign of how it's going to be in Denver.
