changes:

Changes are in the making. Our house is full of boxes and we're busy making piles, lots of piles ... piles of:

things to pack
things to give away
not sure what to do with
Curtis stuff
Jen stuff
junk
etc

Yep, we're preparing to move.

Move where, you ask?

T H E R M O P O L I S, W Y O M I N G

Just the name of the town is fun. Ther-mop-o-lis. Curtis was fortunate enough to receive a great job offer with a firm there. We are excited and are looking forward to this new adventure.

Here are a few facts about the place we will soon call home:

It's home to the world's largest mineral hot spring
Has a population of about 3200
It's home to the Wyoming Dinosaur Center featuring a life-sized T-Rex skeleton
The Big Horn River flows right through town
It's home to the Old West Wax Museum
And my personal favorite, taken directly from the Town of Thermopolis website, "Thermopolis offers the romance, charm and ambiance of the old west." Any town that is described as being romantic and/or charming is the perfect town for me.

It's a beautiful town and we are excited to make it our new home!






We still have a couple of months before the big move, but we have a lot to get done and I know the time will go by fast. We will do our best to enjoy Laramie to the fullest before we have to say goodbye.

  8. Congratulations!! That is very exciting to have found a job and be moving...fun adventures. It was fun to get to know you a little better this last year and I wanted to thank you again for all you did in helping me with the government book and necklace making.

    Good luck in all you do!

    I was going to ask you about your house though (sounds like I want you guys to leave...) but I was wondering if you knew if anyone would be moving in and what the rent was and all that.

    You don't have to worry about giving me that information if you don't want to...but if you have time, just shoot me an e-mail.

    Thank and good luck again!
