We have been very busy with the house, and we’re getting close to being done with what we can do before we head to Tucson. Mark has spent the last few weeks sanding walls and pulling up flooring in preparation for our last two projects.

Continue readingThis last week has been full of having contractors in to look at fixing up our house, trying to get a little more settled into our home, and meeting the neighbors. We had our first company over on Tuesday evening, the couple that helped me when I hurt my ankle last spring. Yesterday, Mark went to his first BACA meeting in Price. He got to meet his new BACA brothers and sisters and go on a Level 1, a meet and greet for a hero (child survivor of abuse), and one of the heroes asked to ride with him on his bike. He had a fun time! And then we left our new home to come up to Oregon. Tonight, we are in Baker City, OR, on our way to see our mothers.

Continue readingThank you to everyone who has been sending me birthday wishes today! I haven’t written since Mark and I arrived at my mother’s house because I have been having trouble getting on the internet, so I’m using Mom’s computer tonight. I have pictures!
Continue readingThere are a lot of LDS churches around here, as you might guess, and a handful of mainstream churches. I have looked at all of them online and wasn’t feeling very hopeful, but I was drawn to check out the Greek Orthodox Church here in Price, Hellenic Orthodox Church of the Assumption. I had once visited an Orthodox church in Los Gatos, CA, when we were Workamping there, and was intrigued.
