    Smile I'm finally back and so excited!!

    Well, our move is complete! We are officially living in Colorado now and so happy to be here! What a long journey it has been in getting here. I lost 16 lbs. with all the stress and exhaustion of the moving process. I needed to lose it, but not the healthiest way, lol! We just got our internet service up and running tonight, and guess where I went??! Ha! Couldn't wait to see what's up with all of you! I missed being here so much, feels like much longer than a couple weeks.

    Colorado is awesome! The weather is quite strange though ~ hail, wind, sunny and hot, cold, rainy ~ you name it, we've already seen it all! LOL! I have to say California weather was quite boring compared to here! ha ha! Hope I'm still saying that when the snow starts falling, !

    We love our new home, the neighborhood is really nice, and we've met quite a few neighbors who are so friendly. The kids really like their new schools so far, and so all in all we feel totally blessed! I did slip on the stairs coming down too fast, during the first week (used to a ranch style house, ha!) and badly bruised or broke my tailbone ~ it has hurt like crazy! But I've managed to get lots of unpacking done anyway, and the house is starting to resemble a home now .

    Anyway, sorry to ramble, just wanted to update those who may have wondered where I've been. I'm back and so excited to hear how all of you are, I've missed you!

    Hi, Welcome home!

    I was wondering if you made it OK.

    We already had the first snow, last Wednesday up in Leadville, I think.

    Really glad to hear youre loving it, and made it out ok. Now take care of yourself.

    Unpacking is the worst. I still have some boxes to unpack and its been 4 months. My goal is to unpack them by the time I move again or throw them out.

    Welcome back, where in CO are you? I'm up in the foothills between Lyons and Estes, are you close to me...maybe not since we don't get hail here.
