Spring fun

For mother's day, Aaron surprised me with a new digital camera, so now we have more pictures to add to our blog! Life has been full this last month as we've adjusted to our new community, explored the new neighborhood, and have had friends come to visit.

Montana absolutely LOVES being outside. Thankfully the weather has been fantastic!

We have a few great trails right out our door!

Our great friends, Misty Anne and Edward came for a weekend visit.
We rode our bikes down to the water. It was such a beautiful weekend.

long time, no post

At the Tulip Festival with our good friend, Aime

We've been a bit on the busy side in the last month or so. First there was the brilliant trip to Colorado where we got 3 significant snow storms and I got to spend good time with family and friends. Then it was back to Lynden for about 5 days of packing and then a move 30 minutes away to Bellingham. It was a tough transition for me, but everyday it feels more and more like home. It's crazy that we found a rhythm of life so quickly in Lynden...on one hand I hated to leave after only 5 months, but on the other hand I hope(d) that we would find a rhythm just as quickly in Bellingham. Our new community makes that part relatively easy (more on that to come). We have spent the last few weeks unpacking and finding a place for all of our things in a smaller place. In the midst of that I found out that the manuscript (from my thesis) that I submitted to Mental Health, Culture and Religion is provisionally accepted!! So after making some revisions I'll re-submit it (hopefully this week) and see what happens. But as always we have found a little bit of time to play...
