WINTER IN WYOMING
Been a good year so far. In January through March we were still enjoying winter in Wyoming (Rock Springs). Here are two fascinating pictures to explain this time.
We sent these to each other on Valentine’s Day (our 11th anniversary!). Below is a picture that Teresa created for me that day. See the picture from our wedding day next to it that inspired her artwork.
SUMMER ADVENTURES
In April we flew to Los Angeles for a few fun days in the sun. We drove up to Bakersfield to see Grandma Favero and the Nichols cousins. We were in the audience for America’s Got Talent auditions in Hollywood. Then we went to Disneyland!
MOVED TO RAWLINS
In June, we moved to Rawlins for Jeff to work at Davidson’s other chiropractic clinic in Wyoming. It has a population of 9,000 and has a nice home-town feel. They have been very welcoming so far, and we are happy here. Teresa is working at a bank (Bank of the West) just a couple minutes from home.
Tee screamed as we approached our house after church. Turns out there was a deer in the grass of the clinic next door!
In July, Jeff was able to hike at the nearby Medicine Bow National Forest…and got lost! (Teresa will never let me go hiking alone again!).
MORE SUMMER ADVENTURES
T's faux hawk to walk down to Spruce Street for the Rawlins parade in August.
Below are some images from my "Yearly Day Away" at the Ranch. Did some peaceful contemplation/planning/goal setting.
Us at Lake Marie in Medicine Bow National Forest (met 11 years ago this day, Aug 22nd). We stayed the night before at the historic Wolfe Inn in Saratoga, then soaked in the hot springs the next morning before driving through Medicine Bow to Laramie.
FALL IS HERE!
Saw this leaf on our outside rug when I stepped out to go to work (9/5/2013, on Teresa’s birthday!). I thought, "Well, fall is officially here!"
We’ve been getting involved in the community of Rawlins, making it our home. Here is a picture of us dressed up for the 20's theme at the Rawlins "Pride & Passion Ball".
My good friends from Sri Lanka! Very fortunate to have them visit this day at the end of September while I was in Utah. They were all here for Brother Royce's family (he is behind my right shoulder). His daughter (not pictured) was getting married, and they were sending his son on a mission!
Brother Joe & nephew Sam wrestling around in the living room at the Favero home in Ogden (September). Sam thinks he has total control over his tall uncle.
The weekend of our first big snow storm of the year (Oct 4th). Gust of wind & I spun off the interstate (on the way to cover for the clinic in Rock Springs). I had to get towed back on to the freeway, but car was working fine - no big damage!
We went to the Ranch with Ben and Katie Spilker & Josh and Whitney Gneiting in the middle of October. Here are children at the schoolhouse (7F Ranch in Robertson, WY). And below is Ben pushing Teresa on the rope swing!
THERE! NOW I’M ALL CAUGHT UP!
