Steamboat Springs Bound!

With all of the hectic things going on in our lives right now, I finally had a quiet moment to sit and update this crazy thing. As of Friday, May 17, we will no longer be residents of Castle Rock, Colorado. We are moving up "to the mountains" as Landon likes to say, and becoming residents of Steamboat Springs. My dad is in the process of acquiring a business there, and has offered us both positions within his company. Nate will start work on May 20 as the Manager of the Valvoline Lube Center, which is half of the business. In a few weeks, once things have settled some and my dad has finished the purchase, I will become his executive assistant and handle all of his stuff from an administrative side. We are really looking forward to starting a life in the small town, and getting some experience in a field that we are both interested in. As most of you know, Nate is very much into cars and working on them, and he has been going to school for Marketing and Management, so this is right up his alley and hopefully will help lead him to more opportunities in the future with the experience that he will gain. 

Currently, I am almost 21 weeks pregnant. Sorry, no pictures. I already feel like a whale. And we just found out last week that we are going to be blessed with another baby boy! Landon is beyond thrilled to have a little brother, and we are just as excited as he is. Everything is going well with the pregnancy, and I feel great for the most part. Still getting migraines regularly, and I think I have developed an allergy to beef somehow. But, all things that can be easily managed.

Here are a few pictures from our life lately. We have spent so much time enjoying the beautiful weather (finally) and getting ready for this move. So I really have no clue what we have been up to these days!

We went to a Cinco de Mayo party at Nate's Parent's church, and Landon got his first whack at a pinata. When it finally busted, he had no idea what to do! We had to direct him to the candy and he scored a blow pop and a nice piece of bubble gum for his mommy, who had a wicked craving for some. :)

This lovely boy climbed into bed with me at almost exactly midnight on Mother's Day. It was the perfect way to start (and end) my days.


Next time, I'll be able to show you all around our new little apartment and our new little town of Steamboat Springs. And, as a side note, the skiing in that town is amazing, so if you're ever wanting to take a nice ski trip, gimme a call! Our door is always open! :)
