We spent the day driving up to Rocky Mountain National Park! It took several hours on a very narrow and windy dirt road. The scenery was unbelievable, with the snow capped mountains as the backdrop. Cyr had never seen so much snow in her life (little Florida girl)! We climbed up to 12,000 feet to get an even better view. The air was crisp, the mountains spectacular, and the sky so blue. It really was breathtaking.......figuratively and literally (the altitude takes some getting used to)! We stopped and had a snow ball fight on the drive down. The snow was cold on our sandel clad feet! We ended the day in Estes Park, where we had dinner and did some window shopping.
I am so anxioius for my boys to get here.....they are leaving Arkansas tomorrow for their 2 day trip here. Its been way too long and I've missed them terribly. The longest I've ever been away from them was last October when I went to China for 2 weeks. So 5 weeks without them is definetly too long.
We will move into our house in Aurora, CO. It is in a nice neighborhood and in a great school district. Kyle can literally walk to school, its two streets behind our house. Its a 3 story house; basement, main floor, second floor with bedrooms. I just hope the heat works!!!! It is big enough for company, so I wonder who will actually come like they said they would?????
Let me hear from you and remember to keep running ahead.......
love,
Tonya

when are you going to update us? I am very anxious!
I wish I could be there. This is the ideal place I would choose to live. I love the mountains and trees! I'm so happy for you. It must be like living at a vacation location. That might be good or bad though. I wouldn't ever want to go to work! I will be out there visiting for sure. Greg just said, "You should fly out there and visit". He doesn't know what he is saying. I'll come visit and won't want to come home! Love you!
