The Nest

While Layne has been here and there training for this whole "teaching" thing, I have been nesting and looking for a job; only one of these endeavors has been successful.

The story of our nest goes like this -

While we were out here in Denver several months ago for induction, we literaly stumbled upon a for-rent sign. Two hours later we signed on the dotted line. It was a good feeling to have a specific destination for the GPS when we pulled out of Lexington, SC. Our first night here consisted of $40 pizza (I didn't ask for the price I was just hungry), an almost parking ticket for our trailer, and four very worn out people as we unloaded almost every earthly possession we own in 2 hours in the dark. We all (by all I mean me, Layne and our fathers) slept soundly on my creatively made 3 beds with the works.

We tackled the big stuff in the morning, ie the box springs, bookcases and bed frame with some almost causalities.

Who knew it was trash day? Not us.

The garbage man had my antique wrought iron bed frame in his truck and was going for the bookcases when Mr. David, using any spanish he knew, tried to convince the garbage man that it was not trash but just move in day. I have to pause and acknowledge the tragedy that could have been....

The good news is that everything was in by lunch and the nesting began.

The wonderful trailer and truck that brought all of our things across the country.

Day 1

Day 12

We love our kitchen and our living room but I think the best room of our house is...

We love our bathroom... come visit and you can shower with the crisp breeze of the rockies!

The nesting continues and I guess the job search does too.

Be on the look out for our nested bedroom, man room and closet.

I hope you all enjoyed my inaugural blog post.

o yeah and speaking of Sophie, she has become nocturnal. Sleeps all day - annoys the crap out of us at night. We have begun to return the favor waking her up when we see her sleeping.
