Well the day finally got here. We arrived in the US on September 3rd after a lovely holiday to France where we enjoyed warm weather, spending time with family and good food. We spent some time at my aunt and uncles and a little time relaxing at a friends lakehouse and then seeing some old friends in Nashville so they could meet Eli. We finally arrived in Denver last Monday. We had a great time at my Grandparents and Eli enjoyed spending time with his great grandparents. We then made the long boring car journey to Denver. I was amazed at how long we went without seeing civilization. I mean nothing, we almost ran out of gas once... but luckily a gas station appeared out of nowhere lol. I have to say to is very nice to not be living out of a suitcase anymore. I think a month is my limit, it was driving me mad. We got here late Monday afternoon and Simon went out and bought Eli's new bed and dresser. We never bought him one in England because we did not want to have to ship it, so he has always slept in a pack and play with a real mattress made to fit it. So needless to say it was an adjustment for him and has taken nearly a week for him to adjust to it. The moving truck got here midday on Tuesday and we get unpacking straight away, I cannot stand living out of boxes. We are pretty much all unpacked just a few boxes in the guest bedroom and Simon has to paint the guest bedroom furniture. We are slightly disappointed to hear that our shipment from England has not even left yet so who knows when it will be here so we have had to buy a few extra things to tide us over. We love our new apartment, we have the most amazing view (pictures to come soon). When we arrived we had a really cold spell but that only lasted a few days and it has been a little bit warmer the past two days.
The job hunt has not been very successful so far, I did not get the job that I applied for to work from home. Simon has applied for about 15 jobs and finally got a lead and is at a job event tonight for Apple. So hopefully something will come up soon.
We went to a new church today and well it was different. Eli did not like the nursery I got paged again to come and get him as he was not settling. I sat there today missing all that we have left behind. I did not think that I would miss Bristol but I miss the comfortableness of it and I miss our friends. I am worried about making friends. Eli and I are headed to a playgroup this week and All three of us are headed to someones house for dinner on Friday. I pray that God will show us if the church we went to today is the right one for us or not. I also pray that we will find good friends.
So please pray for these things...
That Simon will find a job soon
that we will find a church
that we will make friends
that we will find the right urologist for Eli
I will post pictures soon!!
