seeing the rockies nowhere but my rear view mirror is heartbreaking. i feel like i'm always leaving the place i most want to be - i told landon that returning to gurnee is like walking backwards...
sorry, what a bad way to start a post. we spent the last 2 weeks in colorado with friends and family and mountain majesty. our schedule was packed with people we love amidst colorado fun. landon climbed 3 14ers (one was a 2-day hike), and we went rock climbing 3 different days. we spent 2 days in durango, one in colorado springs, 4 in Buena Vista and Salida and the rest in Littleton. we saw everything between the NE corner of CO (Sterling) to the SW corner (Durango). IT WAS WONDERFUL!!!
we left CO at 7:45 yesterday morning and pulled into our driveway at 1am this morning. i requested work off at starbucks today (thank goodness!!!) so i'm just catching up on some things here at home and diving into 2 weeks worth of catch-up at ACSI.
contratry to the first few sentences of this post, there is a simple peace about being where we live. It was nice to wake and spend my morning alone - haven't been alone in a very long time. and i woke to a violent thunderstorm with dense humidity and temperatures in the low 70's (quite refreshing after being in 90 - 100 degree temps these last 2 weeks).
Welp, i'll be updating for a few days with pictures from our wonderful trip "home".

So glad you got to spend time in CO enjoying its beauty and seeing friends and family. Aaron is there right now for a long weekend and I wish I could have gone with him. I really miss "home" (both WA and CO) too. Hopefully your thunderstorm and 70's will head south a bit, was 96 with a heat index of 106 at 10 am this morning! Yuck! Looking forward to seeing some pics of your trip! We miss you and can't wait to see you soon!
I can totally relate to your predicament. Spending 5 wks in Atlanta was great because of all the family, friends, and places i grew up loving, but having my own space was so hard. I don't know if you deal with the same thing, but I struggle with being frustrated at my situation because we are solely in Nashville for Jon. I am lucky enough to have good friends here, but those relationships took a few years to develop. I don't know how long you will be in Gurnee, but I will pray for meaningful and fulfilling relationships for you and Landon while you are there. Hope you have a great week!
i was beginning to wonder if you had abandoned blogging-phew! glad you're back and that your time was magnificent...can't wait for pics!
