Anxious to Get Settled

Sunset from Rena and Nathan's back yard and below, Grant and Carsten enjoying strawberry ice cream cones after their hair cuts.
We went and looked at the house we are leasing again yesterday. Well, we just peaked in the windows and went in the back yard. The boys found some golf balls and we enjoyed the view of the mountains.
The landlord called today and looks like he will have it ready by Monday. Yippee! We are very anxious to get moved in. The house is a little over 2000 square feet with 3 bedrooms and a unfinished basement. The master bedroom is nice and large but the other 2 bedrooms are on the small side. One will be an office and the other a guest room. We will let you know when we are set up for guests! The living room, family room and kitchen are quite large and we will have to buy some furniture to fill it up. I think I will be putting my sewing area in the living room. I know, a little strange but I have some ideas and hopefully it will look okay. I will take pictures as soon as things are shaping up. We will be living pretty frugally until we get jobs so the first furniture we purchase might be used.
In the mean time we are trying to stay busy but it is fairly "down" week. Candace and the girls are arriving on Saturday and will be here for 10 days. Yeah! We are really looking forward to that.
Today we went on a short mountain bike ride and got rained on. I thought it was unusual to get a thunder storm in the morning but you never know when you are in the Rocky Mountains!
Tomorrow we are going to tackle getting new driver's license's. Wish us luck... we hear the lines and the way you are treated is pretty horrible.
That's it for now. We sure miss all our California friends. We love you all!
