We're in Wyoming! Life has been flying by quicker then ever. Two weeks after Grace arrived, we packed up and moved north. Between the move and adjusting to life as new parents there hasn't been too much time for taking pictures or keeping up with the blog. Since Luke's returned to work (running his own store!!) I've been flying solo with Grace during the day. I realized that I really had no alone time with her since she was born and the first couple of days we definitely tough and tiring. We've made it out of the house a few times, which is getting easier with each trip. We really have to bundle up since it's been no warmer than 30 degrees since we've been here. Our new house is SUPER cute (pictures to come eventually) and we have been pretty busy unpacking. The home was built in the 1930's.... maybe that explains the frozen pipes in the kitchen? Hardwood floors, bigger kitchen, cooler basement, much more space and really charming. Overall, we both like the house more than the last one, and we can't wait to have visitors. Only a three hour drive from Fort Collins (4 1/2 from Denver), it's really an easy trip. We've been really enjoying Casper so far and look forward to exploring all it has to offer.
It's Sunday night and we haven't even started Christmas shopping yet. My Mom and Brent will be coming up for Christmas, and Luke's family will be joining us to ring in the New Year. We just can't wait to spend the holidays with our families and feel so grateful that we are still close enough to see them. They've made the move so much easier for us and a BIG thanks to Grandpa Doc for making Grace's transition to Wyoming a much easier one. Dad, we couldn't have done this without you!!! Also, a HUGE thanks to cousin Jeff and Jacqueline's boyfriend Sean for all the help getting our house ready after the move. Thanks to all of our friends who have called to check in with us and offering support during this craziest time of our lives! We sure love you all!

I am so glad you are all settled in and enjoying life. I'm also glad you're adjusting to motherhood. It is the most wonderful time...but it can be very difficult. If you ever need someone, I'm here!!! I know we talked during cousin's night, but just a reminder.
And Congrats Luke on your new job!!!

Also remember to call me or text me anytime that you need to talk or ask a silly question! Keep us posted on everything and once again, CONGRATULATIONS! Merry Christmas and Happy First Christmas to Baby Grace!!!
Frozen pipes in the kitchen remedy: leave the under the sink cupboard doors open. Also, turn the faucet just a little. If it's dripping make sure to watch it just in case...you don't want it to plug and overflow. Lessons learned at -40below in Scottsbluff, NE.
Merry Christmas!!
