I started writing this one when I first moved out here, so it should be back dated to July 15.
I guess since i moved to a different state I DO need to keep this a little more up to date for my niece and nephews who I'm sure will be reading every word (although ben did get X & O on the barbie letter ID game, maybe he's been writing too many love letters to girls... whatta playa) Anyway the move to Fort Collins was fairly uneventful, God has little blessings everywhere in many different forms which will be listed in the following. I hate packing (and am not very good at it) luckily Lincoln is bossy enough to make john and I get a majority boxed up on Thursday, and Patrick was good enough to finish off the minority along with loading the uhaul on Friday. Saturday highlights included farewell crackerbarrel breakfast with the Harris's (Laura is that possesive or plural) seeing Buffalo just outside of Booneville (which Megan says is good luck) after picking up some huge Walnut boards saved from the new city lake (thanks Mr. Watts) which will hopefully become a blanket chest to match my walnut head board (thanks mom&dad from when they moved to CO). Saturday was one last tour around Fayetteville/UofA reminiscing on all the things that "haven't always been there" with a Penguin Ed's dinner (thanks Mandy&Brian). As if the days could keep getting better, Sunday brought Eli's dedication (how awesome to be present and able to commit to pray for all of my niece/nephews as they grow in the Lord) followed by a lunch with the whole family then off to Tulsa to hang out with a great friend and use her place as base camp before the long haul on monday (thanks kari). Wes wussed out on driving the big rig, i guess it takes a real bearcat, but he made the 1000 mile 6.5MPG journey exciting with an unplanned detour through Enid, at least I have now seen 2 of the 3 UPT bases. (sidenote: we accidently got Premium gas once and got 9MPG) Kansas is cool for 5 minutes, but once we got into western Colorado i felt like I was in Lonesome Dove. We pulled into our campground just in time to see the brightest double rainbow (thanks for your promises God).
