The best way to describe living in Pagosa Springs is like living in a Norman Rockwell painting with today’s benefits. We drive down the roads by our house and wave at friends we haven’t met yet. Customer service still lives here. People are happy to help and seem to always have a kind word for you. Greetings with smiles and open doors greet you throughout the town.
Church is very much like yesteryear too. Of course the preaching is quite spectacular. People are loving and genuine believers. After Tom was installed as pastor, the church came to our house for fellowship. Laura was excited because she didn’t have to do a thing. The ladies took care of everything. Kids were playing on the play set as people milled around for a few hours. Tom felt like he was running for mayor, moving from one person to the next.
Another perk is that the church is currently building. The new building should be done next fall. Sydney even got her picture taken with the working crew as they poured the foundation. Its fun to be able to not only develop a church from it’s foundation but also see the actual foundation being poured too.
Our home is of story books. We wake up in the morning and are greeted by Pagosa Peak and the steam rising up from Lake Hatcher. Our house was made for us. Not ever having set foot in it before our move in day, it was like coming home. Everything fit perfectly and Sydney knew just what room was hers.
Kids are great, Big T is crawling like a madman and Sydney loves being a big sister and little helper. We are looking forward to many years here in Pagosa. We look forward to having you out for a visit. Just be careful, it’s a place you won’t want to leave. A Christ filled community does still exist and it’s just an hour east of Durango.

Wow! Tom, the way you paint it, Thomas Kincaid couldn't do it justice!!! Maybe we should all drive there for CHristmas, lets all talk to Ron and his daughters about doing that so we can have a big WHITE Christmas, eh?
All are welcome...I will tell the town counsel who will provide sleigh rides and spiced eggnog for the clan.
It's so great to see your blog. I will have Mike add it to our blog roll immediately so I can keep tabs on you guys. Looks like you are oh so happy in your new home. I am so glad to hear that. Moving can be so stressful if you let it be. But is looks like you guys where just "coming home". Best wishes to you over the holidays.

Well Tom, it seems i dream bigger checks than my body is willing to cash. There is just no way we're going to make it CHristmas time. But that still doesnt discount the strength of my dreaming and desire to be with you, my bro.
Take excellent care of your wife and my Nephew TJ and Niece Sydney!!
