Nature Journaling
March is such a funny month in regards to weather. One day it is snowy and cold, and then next day is sunny and warm with snow-melt puddles everywhere. Best of all, spring has officially arrived! I’ve been rejoicing in the tulip leaves I see poking up through the soft ground, and the tiny green buds appearing on the trees…

Upcoming Travels
This past week was our annual training conference at Sonlight. It’s a time when the convention consultants get together to learn about any changes for the new catalog and prepare for the upcoming convention season. It’s something I look forward to every year, but it’s always an intense week. This year was a little different since I now go into…

Settling In
I guess it’s way past time for an update. We are gradually settling into our new home. The weather has been quite variable. January was overall pretty mild. Last weekend we got a good bit of snow, turning our backyard into a Winter Wonderland. Two weeks ago we made a quick trip to Kansas over the weekend to meet up…

Why We Moved to Colorado
[Warning: long post.] This past month has been such a whirlwind that I haven’t taken the time to tell the whole story of why we all-of-a-sudden up and moved from Idaho to Colorado. I guess the story is better told from this end anyway, because we have been amazed at all the details that have come together to bring us…

Moving Day 3
We arrived at our new home about 1:30 yesterday afternoon, thankful for God’s protection over the many miles. We were blessed to have a good crew of brand-new friends come to help us unload. We had visited the Littleton Church of God (Holiness) when we were out here a few weeks ago and they had offered to help. I’m not…

Moving Day 2
It was 4 degrees below zero when we left Bozeman this morning just before sunrise. We were a little concerned that one or more of our vehicles wouldn’t start in such cold temperatures, but everything started right up so were off to a good start. We wonder if any of our belongings were ruined by such extreme conditions, but obviously…

Moving Day 1
We had hoped to be on the road by 9:00 a.m. today. However, it turned out we still had about 4 hours of work to do this morning, including final loading and cleaning, so it was almost noon by the time we were ready to pull out. My assigned “rig” was the Excursion pulling the Plan B (12-foot) trailer. Did…

Loading Day
Saturday dawned cold and clear. We were so grateful for the sunshine, which is unusual for January in north Idaho. There were still patches of snow in the yard but nothing we couldn’t work around. We had rented the largest truck available (26-feet long). At the beginning of the day it looked like there was gobs of room for all…

The Adventure Begins
We’re really going to do this thing. We picked up the rental truck today. Will load tomorrow. And Sunday we roll! It’s been 2.5 weeks since we made our decision to move to Colorado and started packing. No wonder it seems unreal. We stand in awe at the many times we’ve seen God’s hand in this process. We wouldn’t be…
