One Year Anniversary In Wyoming

Today marks our one year anniversary of moving to Wyoming. It hardly seems that it's been that long since Joe and I and the furry kids rolled into Casper amid the wind and the snow. I had no idea what the future would bring for us and only the hope that all would work out for us. We took a big chance moving here, but felt it was what was necessary at the time. So, we left everything behind other than what could fit in a U-Haul, a trailer and the car. It was one of those decisions that you hoped and prayed would work out to your advantage. Here it is one year later. Did we do the right or wrong thing? I fervently believe the right decision was made. The only thing that could make it even better here is having family and friends share our contentment.

A year ago we moved here not knowing a single soul in the entire state. We moved into our small, little rented home and I headed off to a new job in an oilfield in the darkness of the freezing morning. Yes, there were times when Joe and I looked at each other and wondered what had we done?! But, because of our church family, wonderful neighbors and great co-workers for me, the transition took place and all has worked out. Wyoming is truly our home, not because of the license plate on the car or my driver's license, but because this is where we feel at home, at peace and looking forward to many more "Making Memories" days.
