Big Break

So I think we had a major break through on Sunday. Ever since we moved to Longmont Drew and I have been trying to make friends. We find ourselves being extra friendly to strangers and are often tempted to follow/stalk anyone we see that's our age. We've also been struggling to find a church that we like. This is all a new experience for us because we've always had such great community everywhere we've lived. But hey, new experiences are what we moved here for. So on Sunday we met and had coffee with a lady who is trying to get Young Life started in Longmont. She knows some people that will be great contacts for us as far as making friends and getting to know people in the area. She invited us to the next Young Life committee meeting and to go stay at Crooked Creek (a YL camp near Winter Park) for the weekend in early December. She also told us about a couple good churches in the area. It was so great to sit and talk with her, now I have some hope that we will make some friends that actually live in Longmont (right now all our friends live in Denver or Colorado Springs which means that we have been driving 30+ miles to hang out with people).

Also of note, we're having a Halloween party this weekend. We bought a fog machine and a black light so I'm pretty sure it will be awesome. We've also been watching a lot of scary movies lately (thanks for the free Netflix Dad!). Then, every night after we finish watching the scary movie Drew dares me to go to the basement in the dark. The one time I was brave enough to do it he hid in the corner and scared the crap out of me. So now I won't do it. It's really scary down there, especially with the lights off, which is exactly why the Halloween party is going to take place there. I'm going to be Carrie (from the scary movie, not from Sex and The City) and Drew is going to be a toilet. I'll be sure to post pictures.

The other big break is that a couple ski slopes opened up yesterday and today...

I haven't taken any pictures recently and since a blog with no pictures is no blog at all- here are a few from Drew's trip to Moab with the GE Johnson boys a few weeks ago.

Drew's fun fact: A watermelon is a vegetable not a fruit.
