View out the window of our house, Pikes Peak
Well, we made it to Colorado Springs. I can say I am almost recovered from the move, but not quite. Add a month of having Scott living in Denver and us in Utah, plus packing my entire house without his help, plus 2 busy busy girls, plus Scott coming back the day before we moved, plus moving to a new state and all the emotions that come with it and I need a VACATION! Everyone keeps telling us the weather here is out of the norm, but we arrived to 60 degree weather which quickly turned to -15 degree weather, and then snow. We have been staying in a lot since we arrived, which is probably good because we all needed some serious downtime. For some reason the snow is not received well here. School has been cancelled 2 days in the 10 days we have been here and on Sunday after Sacrament Meeting they said we could all go home to avoid having to be out in the snow, the almost 2 inches of accumulated snow. Something I am not really used to. My girls are starting to get used to all the changes. Avery of course doesn't know what is going on besides the pain her teeth are causing her. Kadence is getting used to the fact that Daddy will come home when he leaves in the morning, but continues to ask daily if she can go to "Ma Pa Taylor's." Sometimes she will say "Do they have chocolate milk here Mom," in the context that we are staying at someone's house on vacation. I am sure it will all take time. It is really beautiful here and the mountains remind me of home. We have plenty of space for visitors you all better be making plans. Scott works in a shopping center 5 minutes away with lots of great shops and we just discovered he gets a discount at the restaurants there, so basically that is our 2nd home. We are looking forward to warmer weather to begin discovering all the neat places around us. We miss everything we left in Utah, but feel really blessed to have this opportunity. Please come visit us!

I remember the first time I moved away from all family was very difficult for me. (when we moved to Irvine for Med School). It took a long time to recover. I'm sure it would have been even harder if we had kids. It was really good for us though because it helped us to establish our family without the support of my family. Forced me to rely on Dan much more. It's tough, but will be good. I just wish you were in Albuquerque!
