We Moved to Wyoming!

After they came and packed all our earthly belongings into boxes, the moving company loaded it all on the truck including our van on the 15th of November and took off for Wyoming. The next day we drove to the airport in rented cars and boarded an airplane bound for Denver, CO. Then we got on a little "puddle-jumper." It was TINY. It only had the capacity to carry 19 people! When I first saw the plane, I did not want to get on it. I am a bit nervous about airplanes as it is, but I could not imagine getting on that tiny plane.After some loving reassurance by more devoted husband, I climbed aboard. I wish we had pictures of how small that plane was. One seat on either side of the aisle with three seats across the back. We sat in the back, Mae-Marie and Tucker in front of us, then Scotty, David and Albert across the back. Talk about bumpy! For a while I thought I was going to be ill. But I prayed about it and relaxed and realized how well I got to see a view of God's earth. Unexpectantly, the ride turned out to be a blessing to me. We flew over mountains and open fields. To the right of us was open plains, we could even see the spirals on the ground from the path of the waterers. To the left were the mountains. They were covered with snow, but in small areas the pine trees peaked out from under the snow. It was the most beautiful plane right I have ever been on. We arrived in one piece, albeit a little shaky from the bumps coming in to the airport, but we were on the ground. We picked up our rental vehicle, went through the town (it is absolutely beautiful - just like a small town from years ago) and drove to our new home. It is in a little community outside of Sheridan, named Story. It is nestled at the base of the Big Horn Mountains. You drive up a winding hill and as you come around the bend at the base of the mountains, there is the town. The area is thick with pine trees. It is like we live in the woods. It is so peaceful. Deer are everywhere and apparantly don't seem to care if people are around or not. They just wander around along with the turkeys that are everywhere. David, who is chomping at the bit to begin hunting, has asked many times now if I am sure that he can't hunt in the back yard. LOL. It is great! Hopefully we will be here for a while (at least for a few years). Welcome to our new home!
