The Road Trip

The trip from Miami FL. to Colby KS. produced an interesting video! It's kind of long but definitely not as long as the original trip, check it out! Special thanks to Mark Stoker for the production help!

Colby House Part 1

This is the main floor of our house. The basement is still a work in progress so I haven't taken any pictures down there yet. I know some of you are really wanting to see the orange shag carpet with the great pole in the middle of the room, but you'll have to wait a bit longer. Sorry. We are loving our home and we are officially ready for our baby! I am 37 weeks and am having small contractions that really don't hurt, just pressure...I'm pretty sure it's still going to be a couple more weeks until he makes his debut. We'll keep everyone posted!

36 weeks and counting...

Here I am at 36 weeks pregnant...I can't believe how big I've gotten! I'm huge! But baby is doing well and we are getting soo excited to meet him!

This is a picture of the house we are renting here in Kansas. After a long, hard search we found the perfect place and feel it was an answer to our prayers! It has 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and a full basement with sweet orange shag carpet! We'll post pictures of the inside soon.

Josh's newest thrill is going to the truck stop and playing on the quarter machine. He and Mark played it for hours during their ride out from Miami so now he's hooked! It's pretty funny to watch!

See how intense he is?


While Josh drove from Miami, I was able to spend time in Utah visiting family and friends. Below are some pictures...

Sara Marie and Janell (friends from college)

Me and Di (also from college)

Jamie, Marlies, me...Bad picture (sucks seeing people you haven't seen for 5 years when you are soo pregnant!) Marlies is prego too but next to me you can't tell!

Marlies and I (she's an old friend from junior high and highschool)

Kansas Update...

For all of you who didn't know already, Josh and I moved to Colby, Kansas. Where is that you ask? Well it's a tiny little town in Northwest Kansas, about 60 miles from the Colorado state line (I think) and around 3 hours from Denver, right off of the I-70. We miss our home and life in Miami but we are really excited to start a new chapter of our lives here in Colby. I accepted a job working in a family practice clinic here and am excited to start working as a "real" physician assistant (I am now board certified! Yay!). Josh plans on pretty much taking over the town, and he will also be caring for our baby and attending classes at the local college.

Josh and I are currently living in a hotel...yep, a hotel. Apparently there aren't too many rental options out here and well to buy a house right now is a little sketchy so we are living in a hotel. Each day we venture out hoping to find something that will spark our interest, turn our head, or just anything that we can live in without having to put a down payment on!! We are searching and really do hope to find something to live in before the week is over (I mean if we were living at the Ritz or something then maybe we wouldn't mind but the Days Inn???) Plus, hotel living adds up fast...all while our "stuff" sits outside our window in a Uhaul truck.

Josh spent 40 hours driving from Miami to Colby last week (while I enjoyed seeing friends and family in Utah) and he video recorded his trip. As soon as we get settled we will show pictures of our new town as well as Josh's adventure across the country. In the meantime, we are alive and well and miss all of our family and friends very much.
