Pura Vida.: November 2014

I'm sooo happy to be able to share our family photos!

We were able to take family photos with a very talented girl named Melissa Campos. She is new to our ward, and majored in Photography, so once we knew she was a photographer, we knew we had to book her before the Holiday rush!

I normally like to take pictures about every 2 years, so that we get pictures of the kids, because the change and grow so fast. The thing is that family pictures are so expensive now days, that we really do have to wait two years to take some!

This years photos are my favorite. Melissa really made the kids smile their true, sincere smile, which is hard to do!

I'm sharing these photos here, but hiding the ones that are going on the Christmas card!

So, I hope you like the cards once they go out!

So, it's been a few weeks now that Steve & I went to Denver, and I swear that we had so much crammed into two days, that I really neglected taking pictures.

But I do look forward to moving there, because it turns out that Denver is pretty.

Like, super pretty.

For two days we went looking for places to live that were safe, close to work, had good schools, and were affordable. We were really set on living in a town called Stapleton.

We decided that the town of Lowry is probably where will be. Stapleton may still happen if we find a good apt to rent by owner, but as of right now, it looks like Stapleton is out of our budget.

I sooo wanted to decide on Stapleton, but the town is almost too pretty. Like so pretty that it seemed fake looking. All of the houses and streets were like the Truman show! Just felt a little too, "Stepford Wives", but again, if we find a deal on an apt by the time we move, I will not be complaining that the town is well kept and safe you know?

The lifestyle seems so different, and it looks like being outdoors is going to be our favorite past time, because the amount of parks, and dog friendly areas is so big, that I have a feeling the kids will want to be outside 24/7.

It will be a good year. At least this is what I keep telling myself. I feel that since this is our "last stop" before getting a real job, we should really take advantage of this crazy adventurous year in a new city to really explore and live it up. Afterall, who has the opportunity to move for just one year? Don't get me wrong, I wish we were settled and in one spot, but I also see how fun this can really turn out.

Anyway, here are some pictures of Denver!

We went to the LDS Temple & then visited Boulder Colorado, which is really a gorgeous town!
