There's no place like... home?

This week is happening at a frenetic pace.  Usually, life is not as frantic -- there are lots of things to get done every week, but I'm bumping up the pace a little to make a trip to Denver for a couple of days.  It will be exciting to see family and some of my closest friends in the world (there's always room for more if you want to email me and set up a time to visit!).

When I was in college, I had a friend who was also from the Denver area.  He hung a postcard on the bulletin board in one of our classes with the Denver skyline (like the one with this post).  We'd sit as close to it as possible and refer to it as our "window into reality."  It wasn't a very popular move at our small college in Nebraska...

So many people have asked about our adjustment to Idaho.  It's a fair question.  And, it's a question that I wrestled with when we first considered moving.

When I moved my family to Idaho, I thought it was going to be hard to get them adjusted to life in a state more than 800 miles from "home."  I was completely wrong.  My kids have all but forgotten Colorado (with the exception of their grandparents).  It has been easy for them to put roots down in the Boise area. Mary also loves Boise.  She gets a chance to make a difference in the lives of children in the elementary school as a sign language interpreter.

We're happy to be planted and planting in Idaho... who knows, maybe we'll even be able to save up enough potatoes to buy a home here in Boise!?
