Ok so Save on doesn't seem like a very adventurous kind of place. And I guess it's not really, we were just amazed at the quality of grocery-carrying devices! They have the traditional basket, as well as a slightly larger basket on wheels with a larger handle to pull behind you! (Like those backpacks and luggage...) Then, when we realized that this crazy basket wasn't going to be big enough for our shopping trip this time, J came back with what he called a "Fancy-Pants grocery cart". This thing had a cup holder!!! At one point I did hear Jason say "this thing drives like a dream!"
Adventure #2: Church
We decided right away that we didn't want to just sit around the day after we moved in, and that we'd start our church-hunt that Sunday with a baptist church just up the road from us. It was strange, and a little overwhelming, walking into a room full of people you don't know. We sat in the back. I must say, at that moment, I really missed Burnett. But I didn't want to cry in front of a bunch of strangers so I bit my tongue. Anyways, so apparently that day was "Congregation Appreciation Day" ... they had cake and everything! (We so picked the right day to go!) The service was ok... I missed the fantastic music of Burnett... and afterwards we picked up a 'welcome' package (free pen!!) and hung around. When no one talked to us we decided to take matters into our own hands and introduced ourselves to the new worship pastor and his wife, who then introduced us to the couple that heads up their College and Careers group. We ended up going to their group that night and actually met a bunch of nice people! All in all, a good experience, and we got cake.
Oh, and that worship pastor called us up last night and invited us out for coffee tonight with him and his wife! I'm excited to have real plans and not just a date with Keifer Sutherland or a trip to Stars Hollow. Real, live people plans!!!
Adventure #3: Our Neighbourhood
We live on a giant hill. But up this hill we noticed an entrance to a park. So we decided to go for a walk (The pictures I'm posting show us on bikes, but that's because I forgot my camera the first time so we went again a couple days later)
This park is flippin' amazing!!! It's called Peterson Creek Park. First you're riding up a road with houses all around you and then when you turn into this park you're in a place that's so quiet and so peaceful that it's hard to believe you're still in suburbia.
Yep, we live in a desert. Those are cactii.
