In 2003, our family of four found the Wet Mountain Valley in Custer County, Colorado. Some people would call it a "God thing"; I had been researching beach vacations for months when my husband informed me - in May, no less - that he "needed to go to a mountain". Through a friend we found space at a Christian camp and, though we bristled at the thought of nightly praise and worship and no television we forged on. A year later, we moved.
We have resided in a tiny community boasting fewer than 5,000 residents countywide since the summer of 2004. We moved from the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex, which is populated by millions. Dubbed The Crisis Chronicles after our family's shocked murmurings following our moving announcement, this is our story.
