Two weeks ago we made our second "big" purchase. (First being our living room furniture.) A 2002 Toyota Sequoia now sits outside our apartment in the closest parking space to our door. We drove the Sequoia at the dealership and fell in love with it. With all we hear about Denver winters (and our desire to make it to the mountains and back this winter) we figured a 4x4 would be a good idea. This car is the nicest car we've ever driven on a consistent basis. We are excited to get out and use it in the snow (which sounds like it's just around the corner).
Over the weekend we made a trip into the hills to spend a night in a tent (most people call this camping). We left late Friday night and ended up setting up our tent by headlights of our new TOYota. After building a fire and roasting hot dogs and baking beans we readied ourselves to snuggle in to our warm (yeah, right) tent. We made the treck down the gravel road to the "facilities". Kaylyn was astonished at the provisions for a restroom. (USFS Outhouse).
We froze friday night and awoke early Saturday morning. Making hot dogs and corned beef and hash we fed ourselves and began packing up camp. The morning was beautiful and the drive back into town was great! The colors of the leaves on the trees (albeit, we missed prime color by about a week) were still incredible.
Saturday ended with an evening with some friends from YWAM. Luke and Lydia Martin (and Sarah). We had dinner and some great fellowship with the Martins and hope to continue to have time to spend with them.
Things are still "well" here in Denver. We still miss our friends and family and our Pacific North West. We are starting to get more adjusted, hoping to settle in to a church that fits our desires for worship and fellowship.
That's all for this week. Stay tuned for more updates from The Mannings...
