bye bye single blog, I guess I'm married now.

After wedding hectic-ness has finally settled down, I am attempting to start semi-normally blogging again. This caused me to realise that I still have TWO blogs, which is ridiculous. I will henceforth be stopping this blog completely and only blogging on the married Foxe blog.

The address is: www.foxespot.blogspot.com .

Please join us there and keep up with us as we venture into the world of marriage and career in Tucson! Cheers!

Wedding Website

Just to let everyone here know, I have created a wedding website for Rusty and I seperately from this site. The address is foxespot.blogspot.com That is where I will be posting any wedding news and where you can go to get resources if you are making the trip to Flagstaff to celebrate with us! It will be a fun time.

My internship here in Colorado continues to go well. I am clicking well with the therapists in this clinic and enjoying my time here. The weather has been unseasonably warm, which is still not warm enough for me right now, but I can't complain! I am looking forward to Tucson in March, though! Friday marked the halfway point of this internship, so only four more weeks before my next move! I can't wait to stop moving! It will be a sweet sigh of relief when Rusty and I get to move into a new abode and have the realisation that we will be staying PUT for at least a year or two.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Phx, Mexico, Flag, Denver, Boulder, Longmont!

So much happened in the past two weeks I must resort to bullet points and sentence fragments:

*Had a great Christmas with family in Phoenix. Best gift was a DVD of home videos from my childhood that my dad converted from 8mm tape. Second best: the first season of my new favorite TV show, CHUCK. Had good times with family playing games and eating too much.



*Went on cruise to Mexico Dec. 27-Jan 3. Rusty's family is awesome. They get along so well with each other and have a good close family vibe. They like to play games together, go on adventures together, and smuggle alcohol in mouthwash bottles onto the boat illegally.










*Cruise excursions were the best part:
-Cabo = ride ATV's on private beach. Didn't get pictures yet.

-Mazatlan = take salsa and margarita making class. Learn to dance salsa.






-birthday in Mazatlan = playing on beach and parasailing (a gift from Rusty!)
-Puerto Vallarta = ziplining and repelling in jungle. No pictures allowed, sorry. It was fun though.



*Moved to Colorado!


Drove 14 hours in one day with my sweet friend, Rachel, through NM and CO.





Visited downtown Boulder where I will work. This is Pearl Street, a famous shopping and hangout district in the area.
This is where we ate lunch. I drank an algae smoothie. When in Boulder...


We went to Denver the next day. This is the skyline. It's not the best picture, but I took it without looking while driving on the freeway, so what do you expect. It's a surprisingly beautiful city for being such a large place. I really enjoyed it.





We went to Colorado Christian University because Rachel might want to transfer there in the fall to study music. It seemed like a sweet place. I hope she goes there so we can be Colorado friends.






This is Longmont, CO where I will live for the next few months. It is ten minutes east of Boulder. It is 30 minutes north of Denver. It reminds me of Flag. I love it. Here are some pictures of the downtown area. I am currently sitting inside Ziggi's coffee shop and enjoying the cold, overcast day.

Hope some of you will come visit me while I am here!



*Start my internship on Monday
-Let's not talk about that. I'm not ready.


*The family I am staying with is awesome. Pictures to come. It's a married couple in their 30's and their three INCREDIBLE kids: Izzie, Sam, and Chicory.

Basically, I'm trying to quickly recover from the chaoticness that has been the past few weeks, and to trust God in his leading me here to Longmont.

Today I was encouraged by Psalm 95:

"Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the wilderness, when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work..."

I have seen God's work in the past. He does not have a single failure in the books. So today, I will follow him and listen to him, and enter into his presence with thanksgiving. He is a great God.
