ramblings.

colorado is an interesting place to live. i hate to admit it that it's actually starting to grow on me (shhh! don't tell). Granted, i did not say that i liked it... it's just growing on me.

we have found a church. the sermons are like sitting through bible classes at JBU which neither of us mind. the pastor used to be a seminary prof so it all makes sense. sometimes i get antsy. i'll be the first to admit that, but we feel very welcome there... they have normal theological believes and there are people our age. we feel like we can get involved pretty quickly... so it's a good thing.

did i mention that i bought jamie and xbox for is birthday (yes, his bday is in december... i just happen to be very sweet) and fable 2? did i also mention that i'm the STUPIDEST person in the world for buying such a thing? actually, it hasn't been too horrible. he is trying to pay attention to me... gotta give him credit for that right? :)

i carved a pumpkin with my kids at school on thursday. it was very fun, and my kids were too cute saying "be careful miss lyman! don't cut yourself!" and "you are a really great pumpkin carver miss lyman!" yes, i know i'm a good pumpkin carver... i went to school for four years to do amazing things like that.

and halloween is on friday... boy are they excited! my class is one of the few classes that is allowed to dress up (it was left up to teacher discretion) and they can't wait. they are very funny kiddos and i really do love them dearly even if sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out. :)

and it snowed last week! not in simla or ramah (the towns that jamie and i live in) but in calhan (where i work)... there was just enough to cover the ground and make the sidewalks at school icy. i nearly died that day. it snowed in october. and the windchill was negative 11. NEGATIVE 11. it was colder than the coldest day i've ever experienced in AR. it is going to be a long, and very cold winter.

and now, i am off to get my hair done (i truly enjoy days like this... it is rare that i have time to pamper myself).
