A Bozeman Weekend

Three thoughts are running through my head right now. First, how sore am I actually going to be tomorrow? Second, Bozeman  Mountian Bike rides are not like Oklahoma rides. And third, when will Jake get home so we can eat! This three day weekend was packed with three rides in the Mountains of Montana. Saturday was a warm up, my first ride here. We went 4 miles on a not too steep singletrack by a creek. Sunday we went up a pretty steep trail, but the descent was my favorite I have ever done. Probably 5 miles total. And, today we went with a girl I work with and her husband up a steep  trail that was difficult! That trail was about 7 miles up and 7 miles back. Jake and I got back and just plobbed down and didn't get up for awhile after. We were both tired. I am going to have to get use to the biking here! Tomorrow starts my third week at Heritage Christian School. It has been really great so far and the kids are wonderful. I learn something new from the kids everyday :) 

Perfect Timing

What a great couple of weeks it has been. I got the job I interviewed for at the early education center. I'm going to be teaching 4-5 year olds. What fun! I'm sure I'll be posting funny things they say or do during the day. We have been training these last couple of days for the church plant taking place here in Bozeman and that has been really great. We have already started friendships with the people also involved with the church plant. It amazing how God works in our lives. I'm excited to see what else happens as we venture on this journey. Our apartment is just right for us. It's two bedroom and so much more room than our last place. (If you ever saw our last place you know that wouldn't be hard to do.) We just got Internet in our apartment so hopefully I will stay up to date with my blog. Until next time.....

Time for a Change

We have made it! After about a week of travleing and visiting family, we arrived in Bozeman, Montana. Usually when I tell people we are moving to Bozeman the question that followed was, why Bozeman? We have no jobs, had no place to live and didn't know anyone here. Well, the answer; because we made a decision and took action. If we can't pick up and move just for the fun of it now, when will we ever be able to? We are livin on love, as my uncle would say. We could have waited around and seen where God wanted to take us and end up staying in the same place, but I believe God often wants to take us where we want and desire to go, we just have to take the action and do it. God gave us free will to do the things He gave us a desire to do. I know God has his blessing on us moving here. After we had decided to move here, we found out there is a Wesleyan Church plant happening and I know the pastor-awesome! God has already blessed us with an apartment in our price range and I have an interview on Monday for a teaching job. Bozeman reminds me of my hometown, Lawrence, only surrounded by mountains. Doesn't get much better than that. We have already met great people and have made connections around town. Oh, did I mention it's also very biker friendly, cars stop to let biker cross. Jake and I rode all around town today. Good times. I'm excited to see where the Lord takes us as we continue our journey in Bozeman.
