Spring has Sprung

Once again I start my blog off with the usual start... It has been awhile. But we have lots to update on. First off, for those who enjoy reading other blogs, these are two of my current favorites:
3 things for mom
This blog always picks a theme and then has a truth, a tip and a find related to that theme. It mostly keeps things in perspective and reminds us all to stop and smell the roses.
away for the weekend
This is a blog that my cousin's wife creates. Even though I was in fifth grade when they got married, I feel like I am finally catching up to them and enjoy the country photos and casual feel of the entries... Kind of like having a cup of tea with a good friend.

Our new state agrees with us. As hard as it was to move, I feel it was more than worth it. Now that weekends are more about enjoying the great area we live in, my soul feels like priorities are starting to get back in place. I treasure the calm and the simplicity. All four of us enjoy seeing the snowy mountains while we explore different ski resorts. We also enjoy the variety of hiking trails on the warmer days.

We just had a wonderful visit with Grammy. We enjoyed seeing the Celestial Seasonings factory, visiting Frisco, Breckenridge, A-Basin, Nederland, Boulder and Lyons. It was so good to catch up on hugs and stories. But it was also comforting to see the strong bonds we had before this move can handle the miles.
Now we are heading in to the fun days... School will be out in a month, longer days, farmers market and food trucks. Yeah! One thing I really want to experience is a concert at Red Rocks.

Than you so much! I'm so happy to hear you're doing well and enjoying your new home. I have a feeling summer is going to be truly wonderful for you - so many fun adventures in the Rockies. It's also true that strong bonds can handle the miles. Take care!
