Gratefulness

So much to be grateful for.

We went to see the MIL on Dec 4th.  It was a very nice time with her.  I came home after 3 days and the husband stayed a bit longer to have mother/son time.  It rained the whole time I was there, but that's ok.   The DC area is nice in the rain.  But once again I was reminded why I could NEVER live there for any length of time, too many people.  Oh massive amounts of people.  We were driving in the rain  in the 5:00 rush hour traffic, dark, and it was just awful.  People do that each and every day.  How do they not go crazy, oh wait , they do.  We live in an area that has plenty of people but not that many!  And we have most of the conveniences that a very populated place has.  For that I am very grateful.

Winter, Colorado Style

Well the beginning of winter at least.  Nothing real big, just cold with snow and not much occasionally.

Long Time

It has been way to long since my last blog post.  There might be several reasons for that.  I might be lazy.  I might have been somewhat busy.  And last but not least I have nothing to blog about.  I think the last reason is the best.  I have been watching all the blogs I watch typically.  Since my last post, I have had an anniversary with my wonderful husband.

How Cold is it Where You Are?

Another Weekend

We are trying to get in as many trips up into the mountains before winter makes that scary.  We had to make a trip to the DMV on Saturday to get the husband's license changed to our new address so we did not have a full day.  But we don;t need a full day when we live so close to so many places to go see and be home by dark.  LOVE IT!

Much Needed Weekend

This weekend was much needed.  I have been completely out of sorts and with no motivation, boredom has set in.  Don't get me wrong, there is plenty to do, but lack of umph to do things is where I have been.  It all has to do with being unsettled.  I had lived in that home with all it's faults for 15 years, and I knew where everything was and and it was my home.  This one is beautiful and not yet home.  So, here I am trying to be at home in a city I don't know and I feel like a foreigner, but as time goes on I will feel more like I'm at home.

Back to this weekend,  the husband was wise enough to realize I needed a break, so we decided to drive to Westcliffe for the day.  It is only an hour and half away and a beautiful drive.  But the view there is to die for.  I LOVE this place!!!  I would love to live there, but it is away from the family and they don't want us to move.
