You stand in the same river but only once

I saw a very beautiful thing today: I was driving through the expanse of my workplace where the leaves have happened to be changing for quite some time. As I drove, admiring this most wonderful of all Autumn’s beholds, I noticed one tree from which copious amounts of leaves were falling. No, there wasn’t a […]

Hi to everyone who has left comments this past week! Jason and I have been very busy getting acclimated to our new Western territory. Currently we have extremely limited internet access – in fact, we have to drive up to the beer and cigarette store called ‘Big Smoke’ and sit outside in the car to […]

I’m not sure I remember what it’s like to go to work everyday; that memory will come rushing back tomorrow. That’s when I actually begin this new adventure. It’s going to be quite a big deal for me personally and as a husband and father. The job will be like none I’ve ever had and […]

We very sorry about the lack of posting. As I said in the last post, the wireless access here sucks. The good news is, I just got a call today telling me that we are lined up for a house!! Good stuff! So, what that means is we should have web access at our new […]

Being that Mtn Home is such a small town, there isn’t a lot of wireless internet availability, hence the lack of posts/pictures this week. It’s pretty much limited to two places, a coffee shop and a place across the street which is basically a beer store. As it turns out, the former says they have […]

*Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show. This is the song, the only song, which calms Maggie when she’s upset in the backseat of the car. I mean, she literally stops crying when she hears the opening fiddle and stays quiet throughout the entire song. Once, on the way back from St. Augustine, Erin and […]

Blog from Erin:
Ash, the west. Not quite as I imagined it. I guess I should have watched more Westerns. I don’t mean it in a bad way, just that I had a different image in my head. Driving through Wyoming has been an incredible visual experience. Leaving Cheyenne behind us I’m guessing it was about […]

*Sounds Better in a Song by Drive By Truckers. As anyone who reads this blog regularly knows, I REALLY like this band. This song is really sad but it has some beautiful and very meaningful lyrics.
I am writing this on behalf of Erin. She wants me to apologize for her not writing during this trip, […]
Exhausted

I would really like to post something about Colorado Springs and arriving in Cheyenne tonight, but I am just too tired. There’s too much to say about both of them combined to do sufficient justice. So, look forward to a post sometime Friday (hopefully), in addition to something about our arrival in Ogden, Utah.

*The Vast Spoils of America by Saves the Day.
Sorry about not posting last night. I didn’t have the energy. No worries, though; everything went fine. We drove from Salina, KS to Colorado Springs, CO. Jessica had told us that Kansas was a horrible state to drive through, so I didn’t have very high expectations. However, […]
