Pobrecito Bambi!!!!

Trent is looking forward to next year when he can go hunting again. He hasnt been hunting for 15years, so he can't wait. His brother Russ had been "bow-hunting," with no luck. And then decided to go "rifle-hunting" to get his trophy deer. So last Monday, they packed up and took off to go to the mountains at 5:00a.m.
The season opened at 7:00a.m. and they got their deer at 7:30a.m. Russ' shot was the first one of the day. Needless to say, they had a blast.

We are in Cheyoming!!!

We drove down the 9th. So, we have actually been in Cheyoming for over 2 weeks. The drive here was looooong but it was very pretty, this time of year all the trees are changing color and the drive though the mountains it's just beautiful.





Daniela was really worried that she was not going to be able to stay awake. She was driving our pick up truck and she was just really concern. But she did very good and we only had to stop one extra time to get some air and caffeine and got on the road again. We got settled in on Friday and then used Saturday and Sunday to relax in preparation to Daniela's first day of work on Monday. She is officially a State of Wyoming employee. It's been over 2 weeks, she is anticipating to love her job, right now all she is doing is reading policies, taking tests and getting certified for a million different things in the computer. So, not very exciting but quite educational. It's very nice to have an 8-5 kind of job at last!

It almost feels like we have been in fast foward for a while, but things are starting to settle. Trent and his mom got to go to the temple in Denver. Daniela and Trent's dad got to go shooting in the middle of nowhere, and she did awesome. Kinda ironic.
Things are good, we are house shopping and having fun.

Whirlwind!!! UPS & DOWNS

So, first of all we have to vent.
Trent's mom, Cindy, is a huge Collin Raye's fan, about a month and a half ago we found out that he was doing a benefit concert for Madison Memorial Hospital. We called her and invited her to come. Needless to say, she was thrilled. So, we hurried to the grocery store and got tickets right away. Well, there was no concert. And not only that but the concert was scheduled to be on the 27th, and we didnt find out of the cancellation until the 25th, after Trent's parents had been on the road for 5+ hours. It was very dissapointing. We were very upset and sad.
Trent's parents had planned to come visit us from the 25th until the 29th.
It all started on the 25th when we found out that the Collin Raye concert was cancel. Then Daniela got a phone call that informed me that the representative of the state of WY wanted to see her in person for a second interview--after about 10 minutes of negotiation and compromise they agreed to meet on the 29th at their Cheyenne office. So, Trent's parent's had to cut their stay short to be able to make it to the interview . Which they were more than happy to, because if Daniela got the position it meant we could move there and be close to them.
Since our plans were spoiled and the highlight of the trip for Cindy and Kelcey was cancelled, we decided to go to Idaho Falls, to have a nice dinner and shop for a cute top for Daniela to wear to her interview. And then on the way back, Kelcey had the idea of playing Collin Raye's music and we had our own private concert on the ride back from Idaho Falls to Rexburg.
Sunday, we left to go to Cheyenne and stopped at Marblestone, where Trent's uncle and his family are living. We had a beatufil Sunday meal with them, and had a chance to chat and enjoy each other's company. We got to see Della, who was in a terrible accident, and has had a tremendous recovery. She is doing great.
She is 2 years old, and is starting to say what animals say.
For example, when you ask her:
what does the cow say, she answers, "Moooo"
what does the pig say, she answers, "oink, oink"
well her oldest brother Chanden has been teaching her to answer to many different animal, including antelope, however, he wasnt sure what they said so he made it up. So, now when you ask her, what does the antelope say, she answers, "beep."
She is adorable. And we are very happy that she is doing so good.
Anyways, as the big day approached Daniela went from being nervous to being NERVOUS...
Monday, she met with the state representatives and she was offered the job, and she accepted. So,...
WE ARE MOVING TO CHEYENNE, WYOMING!!!
Once again, after comprimise and negotiation it was decided that Daniela needs to report to work at 8:00a.m. Monday October 13th.
If everything goes as planned we will be hitting the road a week from today. Next Wednesday the 8th.
After the really good news, we realized that we have already been to our last church meeting 2 weeks ago. And we are really sad that we wont be able to say our goodbyes to our friends from church. And worst of all, presidente Talamantes is going to be sooo mad...
Well, our last week has been a roller coster. And it will probably continue to be until we are all settled in Cheyenne.
Keep us in your prayers. Besitos y besos, Daniela & Trent
