[isn't our new neighborhood so pretty?]
We made it safe and sound to Colorado and are slowly moving in to our new home. So far, we absolutely love it! It's beautiful and mountainous and the people around here have been so helpful and nice. The leaves are changing, just as they are in Utah. I'm really surprised at how many times I have found myself smiling at my new surroundings- it's a lot like home, already.
Our new apartment is AWESOME. We took a big chance, moving into a place we'd never even seen the inside of, but it's even better than we imagined. The ceilings are high, the windows overlook beautiful scenery, the deck is amazing, the bedrooms are spacious and the walls are painted the creamiest shade of almond. We love our new home and can't wait to have all of our housewares delivered and unpacked (the Army estimates it'll be here around the 21st of November).
Baby Dowler is growing and kicking, simultaneously, and makes sure I don't ever forget he's in there. He's as big as a cantaloupe this week! Knowing he's a boy and not just a critter makes things so much more real. Jordan finally felt him kick this week, which was exciting for both of us. Funny how he kicks like an all star, all day long.. until the exact moment his daddy puts his hand on my belly. Stubborn little guy- I like to think he didn't get that from me (although it's quite possible he did).
For all who have asked, yes we DO have a name picked out and no, he won't be named after anyone. We've decided not to tell everyone the name, for now. It gives us a little more wiggle room, in case we come across something we like even better (which is highly unlikely, since the name we've chosen is quite possibly the best name in the history of names) and it gives a little mystery, which is always fun.
