Movie of the week

Aaron and I are now excited to be NetFlix suckers. We got our first movie this week, and I must say it was a winner. It is called The Station Agent and it was a recommendation from one of Aaron's old co-workers. I woke up thinking about it the next morning, which for me is usually a good sign. I would say that the movie is first about acceptance of self and one another and secondly about community (which is currently Aaron's and my favorite "buzz" word). At first glance it seems so much easier to live life alone, to do our own thing and not be bothered by others, but when it comes down to it...we need each other and we can't help but to bump up against others. I love how the relationships in this film "haphazardly" develop. I highly recommend this movie, but keep in mind that this is definitely an Aaron and Kate movie...a little slow at times and a little on the odd side, but beautifully filmed with a powerful story.

Also...one other movie that we watched last week should be noted as a winner as well - Stranger than Fiction. If you haven't seen this yet, it is a must see for sure. Aaron is always thinking sermon illustrations when we watch this movie because it has the Gospel Story splashed throughout.

Since we now have a great excuse to watch more movies...do you have any good movie suggestions? I would love to hear about some of your favorites. Let us know so we can put it on our queue!!

Enjoying Fall

I love the fall...pumpkins, pumpkin lattes, apples, apple cider, wearing scarves and sweaters, the colorful trees, the crisp morning air...this season...this life... is truly blessed!

New Beginnings

While Aaron, Montana and I have been preparing for our move to Washington, my sister, Emily, was also preparing for a new adventure - opening a yoga studio in Laramie, Wyoming! Montana and I were blessed to be there to help her paint, clean and get settled into her new space. Blossom Yoga opened last Monday, October 6, the day that Montana and I flew to WA. It is a very cool thing for both Emily and I to be starting our new adventures simultaneously. I am so proud of my sister for DOING it despite the odds against her. I'm so excited for what lies ahead...for both of us!

Montana helping unpack in her new home

Gosh, now that I think about it, it has already been quite a month for our little 10 month old. She has helped her Auntie Em open a business, she has said good-bye to both sets of Grandparents and aunt and uncles, she has flown to her new life in WA, has helped?! her parents unpack, and has already met oodles of people. And she has done this all while cutting more teeth. She is one amazing girl and has taken all of this change in beautiful stride.
