This and that...

MacKenzie has not quite gotten used to the altitude here in Parker. She has to take lots of naps (not all that unusual) and drinks a ton of water. Carla gave her a teddy bear as we were leaving town because it was named "Jackson" on its tag. She loves her Jackson bear. We often find him sitting perfectly where she has left him. Too funny.

A picture of us in front of our "green bean tree" that S. Petefish insisted on taking. We don't look our best as it had been a looooong day!
Today was a super frustrating day. I am so overwhelmed by work right now. They are so hardcore. Then I went to lunch to unwind and got lost. AGAIN! I just wanted a Jamba Juice. 40 minutes later I was at the Jamba Juice 4 minutes from my office. I am officially toting my Garmin from now on!! I cannot believe that I haven't wrecked my "luxury unit" yet. (I call my CX-7 the luxury unit because Jackson drives a stick- whiplash!!!)
Our new bed came today from Overstock.com and apart from a few scratches we feel it was a heck of a deal. Jackson had me help him lug it upstairs. Where are these neighbors when you need them?! Save a few extra tears in my knee, I think we got it up in one piece. The house is really coming together. Jackson has been taking advantage of his days off to paint things that I have requested be black and not wood colored. He's such a champ like that. He also hung all of the pictures around the house today. I don't think he minds this house-husband stuff!!
Well I am off to help assemble this bed. Let's hope it is not too complex!
Hope you are all doing well!
P.S. Shannon has a new blog: DavidandShannon23.blogspot.com check her out! (Disregard her spouse talk- she clearly has something to tell me!?!)

Oh, Jen... The navigation system is ESSENTIAL in a new city. Must be in your car at all times! (I can even still get just a LITTLE lost when I AM using it.)

Otherwise it sounds like you guys are adjusting!
