September-October






sooo. we are officially colorado residents... we have our licenses...woo hoo.. now for the cool mountain license plates!! its the little things we get excited about.. well tristen is all settled into her 3rd week of work... and absolutely loving it... most of the time i am on the phone, triaging neurology patients (deciding how important/urgent their needs are)... aka i am the gatekeeper to the doctors and quick appointments. i didn't think i would like having a cubicle and wearing a head set, but i really like problem solving for our patients, they call needing something and i make it happen. i guess going from inpatient, where you had no control over anything to help them or give them answers, its really nice to feel like i can help them, even if it is just to refill a med...

meanwhile aaron has been working it up at Eddie Bauer... the first day they made him a First Ascent (their mountaineering line) Expert... his time spent looking at outdoor gear is finally paying off.... literally.. ha. this week he is interviewing with 2 paramedic companies, which i am sure he impressed them lots- he has great interviewing skills! plus he is a super knowledgable paramedic!

Other than that.... we have found a really great church called Dear Creek Church here in Littleton and within weeks got plugged in to a small group. never have we both fit in and clicked so well with a group of people... we are so blessed to have found this group.... we have bible study once a week and then random other fun activites (like a corn maze event and line dancing for us gals) that are getting us plugged in and not feeling so lonely away from our friends and family. here is some pics... from our 1 year anniversary dinner and then some more hiking of course...

what kind of colorado-ins would we be if we didn't tempt you with mountain pics?
