We've Moved!!!

Nothing beats starting the new year in a new state! We left for Colorado on Dec. 29th and what we thought was going to be just one night at my Mom's in Grand Junction turned into three. I-70 was closed and we were the lucky ones. The snow storm left over 2,000 people stranded, sleeping in shelters and in their cars. Luckily we were nice and warm at my Mom's with home cooking. January 1st 2008 was spent driving very slowly through the Rocky Mountains to our new home in Castle Rock. Sorry to my dear friends in Las Vegas, but we LOVE it here. Our community is all about family and it's such a change of pace from Las Vegas. We still have a few boxes, but the house is pretty much put together, which I thought would never happen. Corbin's parents came just a few days later to visit for a wedding, so it was great having them be our first guests in our new house. We are still getting adjusted to the cold. Our first night was pretty rough, but we have learned a few things about living in snow. First, don't laugh at your neighbors when they are out in the snow shoveling their drive way, because when you leave snow in your drive way it turns to ice and makes it hard to get your car in the garage. Second, do buy your kids snow boots and snow pants if they are going to be out sledding everyday, unless you want to constantly be changing wet pants and putting them in the dryer. And last, do wear warm socks and thermal pajama bottoms and a long sleeve shirt to bed because it's COLD here. Here are a few pictures of our house and the neighborhood. Just let us know when you will be stopping by and we will turn the heat up for you!!!
