We're here! Sorry that its taken me awhile to post this, but we just recently got internet that actually works. Yeah, my wireless card was a joke out here. But besides that, we love it. It is gorgeous here, and you can actually breathe. Okay, unless you start running. Because we are at 7200 ft above sea level and let's not pretend its easy to exercise up here. At least for me. My poor pampered sea level lungs...
Everyone here is so incredibly sweet, and while we don't fit in (at all), it feels the town has welcomed us. This brings me to why I entitled this chapter "the dress code". People don't really dress up. At all. I don't even think I've seen one sun dress here. I guess I shouldn't be shocked, but its still a little disheartening. I didn't want to stand out THAT much. We took a nice little stroll through town today, and I was wearing a white sun dress, black belt, and my large black sun hat, and people looked at me as though I was from another planet.
And seriously, what is up with Teva sandal/sneaker hybrids?! They're all people wear! I'm sure they're comfortable and all but...everyone? Now I know that I was not always dressed my best back in Seattle, but at least there were other people who always picked up where I left off on those days. I'm scared. This may be it. I may be carrying an entire town on a fashion revolution all by myself. At least I'll try. PUT ON A FUCKING SKIRT AND HEELS PEOPLE! Don't stare at me because my calves look damn good in stilettos. Your's would look like that too if you put a pair on. Sure, the terrain of Wyoming may not be ideal for heels, but have you tried to walk though any major city in them? You're getting hit with cobblestones on some turns, bums on others, and people constantly trying to shove you off the street on your way to work. At least in Wyoming you have the open road to strut your stuff. And I'm not judging the people of Wyoming here, I'd just rather not stick out like a sore thumb every single day. You know? I feel like I should never dress down because no one will pick up the slack!
But other than that we are fitting in just great! Kei also has met a new girlfriend who lives on the other side of our fence. Her name is Misty and she's an Alaskan Malamute and all they want to do is love each other! So here is a video of them being oh so in love :
And here is a video of Kei and Adrian playing in the "river". It only gets about 18" deep :

Aww... I knew you weren't quite mentally prepared to live in the wilderness. And, yes, for the record, tevas and birkenstocks and everything of that sort - VERY comfortable. Although I can't really see you wearing a pair dear...
Glad you're settled happily!
oh - they are so cute! It is almost like a mirror!
