Sold!!!

Has it been two weeks? Sorry for the absence, life is just incredibly busy at the moment, and blogging has slipped. But some good news to announce: our house in Memphis, Tennessee is officially sold! The buyers signed their closing papers yesterday. We are now homeless, or should I say "house-less," or should I say (for the moment) mortgage-less. That will change in time, but for now it's nice not to have that hanging over our head. Thanks to everyone who has prayed for this to happen. We are so grateful for your concern and prayers on our behalf.

Update on "dept of mass confusion": I got the official notice from the bank "Dear Mr. Roberts, This document is provided to verify that Union Planters is now Regions Bank. If we can be of further assistance...." As you will recall, I needed them to verify that UP Bank is the same as Union Planters Bank (and spent 30 minutes trying to tell two different people that). So much for further assistance.

Oh, and I know you've missed seeing pictures of the beautiful mountains here. We took a Saturday last weekend and drove up to Aspen and Independence Pass - we are just coming to the peak of the fall foliage. Here's a couple:
On the road up above Aspen with the aspens beginning to turn yellow:


A couple from the summit of Independence Pass - looking across at the 14,000 footers that make up the Continental Divide - unfortunately it would take a panoramic camera to capture the majesty of it all - you can't get a sense of how beautiful it is with a single shot (but these are a little taste!):
