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.

Just a note that my husband is awesome

So I'm sitting here at work, and the door opens...and it's Mark. Holding a bouquet of roses, and a box of chocolate covered strawberries. :D

He surprised me today for an "early valentine," because he has a really busy day of training tomorrow at work, and wouldn't have time. So we went to lunch (I had already had a little bit, but I wasn't about to pass up on a surprise valentine's lunch with my husband!) at Quizno's, and it was so nice! I've been kinda down today, and feeling really tired, and this was just the sort of pick me up I needed.

Hooray for Mark! He's the best husband I could ask for. Tomorrow night, we're going to have dinner at Guru's, and just kick back and watch a movie at home. He has definitely made Valentine's Day a happy day for me.

Anyways...just had to share. (:
