What a Week!
It has been such a big week for us! Last Friday was our first day back to work after the visit to Virginia and since then we have been back in the full swing of things.
We completely rearranged our main room. It’s not a whole lot of space to begin with, but to move everything around was a bit more of a job than I think either of us expected! We did it one night after work and I think everyone (Luna included!) is happy with the new layout. It makes things a bit more open and comfortable and there is more room to play right in the middle of everything! I enjoy change, and I often felt the need to rearrange my room while I was growing up – I’m very thankful that Andrew was so on board with it too.
We also had a very important meeting at our church this week. Due to a previous meeting and conversations, I was incredibly nervous about this one, but God really worked in some hearts and answered prayers, and now I’m very excited about what God is going to do with us and in our church in the near future. It’s exciting to be in the middle of something and really see God working.
I’m also very excited because I am now the proud owner of THIS!
It is a beautiful Trek Lexa that I was able to get on sale. Last summer I started training for a triathlon but was unable to complete one before the holiday season was upon me with the production of Scrooge, a new engagement, and then a move to Colorado. I temporarily put training on hold while I acclimated to this place (and this altitude!) and got settled after our wedding. Now I’m getting back in the swing of training with the hopes to compete in the Greeley Triathlon here next summer. The next step in my training was to get decent road bike for racing, and I am so excited to get off a gym bike and get outside on this one!
Another exciting thing in my life this week was that I finally completed the second cross-stitch in a set I was doing. Here it is:
The first set of hands that I cross-stitched I finished months ago and we were able to display it at our Virginia reception. This one took much longer, but I’m very happy with how it turned out. Next I get to start working on a cross-stitch pattern made from a photo of Andrew’s and my actual hands in the I-Love-You sign handshape with my bouquet of flowers as our background that was taken by my brother-in-law at our wedding. It was made as a gift for us, complete with everything I need to make it, and I’m really looking forward to working on that.
We also got cable and Internet at our apartment this week! Andrew has been patiently waiting for it, and this month room opened up in the budget. It was the right time too, because he needs it for school, and he starts classes back in just a couple weeks. So therefore I have plenty of Internet to post pictures and blogs! We’ve been catching up on some favorite TV shows and enjoying the freedom to check our email without having to go somewhere else for free wi-fi.
And finally, tomorrow is our 3 month anniversary! I can’t believe it has already been 3 months! It has definitely been the best 3 months of my life so far.
So it’s been a whirlwind week but a really good one! Anything new and exciting going on in anyone else’s week?

WOW! You have been busy. I know you will enjoy the bike. Does Luna run with you? Probably too dangerous for her to do that? Your needlework is wonderful! I use to do so much of this type thing but not with the professionalism you have.
@TheSunnyC - Luna doesn’t go with me when I ride the bike, but she does when I go for runs. It’s been too hot recently for her to run with me recently though. And thank you for the compliment on my stitching, but I’m certainly no professional! You can’t really tell, but I made a significant mistake and the entire thing is actually two rows longer than it is supposed to be! One thing I’ve learned about stitching is that the imperfections actually make it more special.
