Home Sweet Home

Man, for some reason today I am having some serious homesickness for Colorado. Although I really don't mind living in Utah, and there are many good things about living here - Colorado will always be "home" to me.

I really wish it wasn't so expensive to live there - both Mark and I would love to go back there someday. But we both have good jobs here right now, and really can't justify a move out of state right now.

I just love the environment and atmosphere there. Denver is a great metro city to live nearby - small enough to not be a huge sprawling mass of...city...but it has a great culture, and a lot of fun things to do. And it was only 15-20 minutes from Golden (where I lived). I like Salt Lake, but sometimes a 40 minute drive seems kinda long if you just want to go to dinner or something.

Anyways, not to put Colorado on some majestic pedestal or anything - I just love it there. And miss it. Mark and I will have to try and visit sometime soon...hopefully this summer. I got spoiled with our week+ long visit there over Christmas ;)

Also, sorry for not posting in a couple weeks. Admittedly, I think I've just been lazy. I'll think about something to blog, but then never get around to it. And forget.

Mark is in Toronto until Friday. He was telling me last night that the wind chill factor was -40 degrees. That's insane. I hope he stays warm.

Hmmm....anything else right now? Nope, don't think so. All of my blogging thoughts flee my brain when I actually get down to it.

More News

Man, December always seems to go by so fast. And I really need to get some pictures up on here soon, dang it.

As I am at work (again), this will be a really quick update, for those of you who want to know the latest with my mom. She got the results from her PET Scan back, and thank goodness, her cancer is really just localized to that one area - it hasn't spread anywhere else. She will be doing intraveinous chemotherapy, but the one she will be taking has comparitively minimal side effects, which will definitely be a help. We are so grateful that it will be easily treatable, and that it isn't anywhere else in her body. Good news for sure!

Other than that, just preparing to go to CO on Saturday. Mark and I are driving over, and we get to stay for a little more than a week! WOOHOO! Unless the weather gets crazy, then we can cut it short a couple of days. I am really looking forward to going "home." Colorado still feels like home to me. It will be so nice to see both of our families, and old friends.

Alright, back to work!
