In the highlands and the heartache
You're neither more or less inclined
I would search and stop at nothing
You're just not that hard to find
So I will praise You on the mountain
I will praise You when the Mountain's in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
so I will praise You in the valleys all the same...
~Highlands- Hillsong United~
It's been almost 1 year and 8 months sense we first stepped foot on this dry, rocky soil in Colorado and called it our new home. We've definitely been in some valleys (I'm hoping to share more about those valleys when I'm feeling brave enough!) and sometimes it seems like mountains ARE in our way, but He is our summit where we've been able to heal and grow and enjoy the view on top of the mountain. Following God where He leads isn't easy. It stretches us to high places, but He does not leave us hanging. He's gone before us and has been here all along, guiding us and preparing us for more. We still have questions about why we were called here, but God is so faithful. We realize we're closer as a family and have had the opportunity to lean more on Jesus. We've barely scratched the surface here and are looking forward to sharing more of our story!
Here's a glimpse of what we've been up to...
 |
| The day we left Indiana. |
 |
| We jumped right in and enjoyed doing Trunk or Treat with our church at a local school! |
 |
| Mustard, Ketchup, and a hot dog :D The kids got a kick out of it! |
 |
| This was just this past Halloween... The boys have loved this new tradition and say they like it better than trick or treating! |
 |
| Our first Christmas away from family was so hard. Thankfully the boys were full of smiles! 
We started a new tradition last Christmas.
We cut down our own tree on the Grand Mesa.
I think it's a keeper!

 |
| Jake, Zak, and Thad enjoyed being in a local choir. Jake and Thad also take piano. |
 |
| Hiking adventures! |
 |
 |
 |
| We loved having Grandpa and Grandma Pyle here for a week last Summer! |
 |
| We love taking drives and exploring! |
 |
| ~A rainbow on the National Monument~ |

| The bighorn sheep are my favorite! |

| Jacob was baptized on April 25th, 2019 <3 |
 |
| Fishing on the Grand Mesa is a must! |
 |
| We traveled to Indiana in August 2019 and met our new nephew/cousin, Oliver. |

| The boys loved being with their cousins and they can't wait until they are all together again!!
We had a fun date night with all my siblings
and their spouses.
|
 |
Hot tub time with their cousin, Laney! The boys absolutely loved Legoland.     We have enjoyed loving on kiddos doing respite care.  shown to these sweet kids.    "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." Ephesians 3:20 |
