Went to Church in the Boulder Ward chapel (the same ward we attended for our first 3.5 years in CO). It felt like coming "home" after our 18-month hiatus in Westminster. I really love the wonderful people here in Boulder. They all gave us a very warm welcome back to the Ward. One of our friends, Gene Peterson told us we must have caught "the curse of Niwot." Apparently Niwot (also the name of a town within Boulder County) was the Indian Chief who inhabited this land centuries ago. As the story goes, Chief Niwot declared that people seeing the beauty of this valley will want to stay and those who leave will always return. Well, whether it was Chief Niwot's "curse" (blessing?) or just simply God's will for us, we are sure happy to now be living in Boulder!! |
