We did not expect the turn of events that has lead us to Thoreau, NM. We had planned to live in Flagstaff for 4 years, finish up training at IBC. Funding did not permit that, nor did lack of jobs or housing. Then after our summer at BABR, a friend invited us to visit their church in Thoreua, NM. After years of traveling, we found a home church, a place we fit in... and that is not an easy feet.
After a few weeks attending church, we found a place to live. We call it Casa Rosa or Desert Kildare, depending on the day. LOL. We are at rest at last. Thoreau is a wonderful little town. 4 schools: three public ones, and one catholic. One mom and pop grocery story. 2 gas stations. A community center with computer lab and trying to start a library. Until then there is a book mobile. We also have a Family Dollar, senior center, and chapter house. Oh, yes, and a skate park...
We can see the Red Rock mountains and our church from our back yard. It is so much, and I am still in shock. A family, a home, and we have not been here that long... I hope we dont have to leave... or if we do... that we can come back. ^_^
