Family and Friends

In the almost 4 weeks that we've lived here we've had a lot of visitors! First Jim, Joel's dad, drove out here with us and stayed for a few days, then his parents came back the next week to check out our new abode, churches and communities! Then we had Joel's sister Elizabeth, her husband Ryan and their kids Blazer, Dash and Finely here! That was an adventure filled and relaxing visit playing lots of super hero...the day after they arrived friend Lindsay came for the night! She was en-route to Alaska and was able to stop by Big Sandy on her journey! What fun to have her here for the night. We had a house full and we loved it. And everyone was able to experience the local Bear Paw Coffee Shop and Deli (their caramel rolls are a Big Sandy must). We have to admit, yesterday, walking in after a long day of painting the preschool (for me) and a full day of work in Havre (for Joel) we were looking for people and more noise. It felt strangely quiet. We didn't know what to do! So we left the house to get the mail. And today comes lots of cleaning and lawn mowing and more settling in. We like living here. It's very peaceful. And we like all of the space we have. Now we just need to take some time to finish unpacking, get into a routine, go on a date night, buy a new 4wd vehicle, and get our basement ready for even more visitors. Anyone? You are all welcome!
