catching up

Much has happened in the last month. Most importantly, Josh's 31 birthday. We had a bunch of fun going around town, getting to know Des Moines a little better and enjoying some nice spring weather. His blog has all the details. My job is going well and my spanish is improving everyday. I thought at first I would take some english calls but I havent spoken to someone in english since last week! Colbert has taken to the great outdoors like a duck to water and complains loudly on days he is not allowed out. Next week Josh finally moves down here and our moving purgatory will be over!!! It has deepened our appreciation of each other and we cannot wait to experience life together again. The photos below are from the new downtown library, the view from our patio, the muscle car shop we visited and a lovely nearby lake we can walk to from our house.
