Instant Family...

Moving to Colorado has many advantages and one of them has to be our EXTENDED family! This may get complicated so bare with me... My sister and I have different dads, same mom. So with that being said my sister has a brother & sister-n-law(better know as David & Jackie), who just happen to be our age! Instant family and instant friends. We have had many fun nights with them so far...

Welcome to Colorado...

Anybody who's anyone knows the proper way to welcome someone to a new town is to throw them a luncheon... And that's exactly what my sister did!!! With 12 of my soon to be friends! It was a delightful afternoon lunch filled with fun, laughter & GIFTS!!!! These people don't even know me and I'm getting gifts... I guess Colorado isn't so bad!!!!! Thanks Sis

September In Colorado...

Now that we are unpacked and settled we can start to enjoy our new life... Scott is loving work and I am kind-of loving Colorado!! I miss all my friends and family so very much! But I am determined to make a great life here.

They say September in Colorado is the best time of year... the weather is great, the leaves are changing colors( they actually change colors here in CO) and the kids ( our niece Jordan & our nephew Zach) are fully engaged in SPORTS!! Jordan plays Soccer among many other things and Zach plays Football. Scott has been so great with them!!! He is an instant Uncle and loves every minute! He goes to pratices and games and defintaly the loudest one there!! So far so good!!!!

Road Trip....

I guess a good place to start would be our recent move... What an experience!!! I wont bore you with all the details but I will fill you in on a few key moments.

In late July as we were in Arizona celebrating Brian's (Scott's brother) graduation when we found out that Scott's transfer had gone through and we would be moving to Colorado! You may be wondering "why would you leave wonderful sunny California and a great Beach house, not to mention such great friends to go to Colorado?" To pursue the American Dream!!! No to mention free room and board provided by my wonderful sister Keriann & her family. OK so it's not entirely FREE.... but who could pass up that offer! Scott & I decided that it would be a great way to get back on our feet financially and pursue the next chapter in our lives. So on Aug. 3rd we packed up Scott's Acura ( thanks cuz!) and Scott was on his way. I stayed behind to pack our house and finish up work!

On Sept. 4th Scott flew home to help with the finial packing and loading , most of which all was done thanks to my WONDERFUL FRIENDS who helped me!! I couldn't have done it with out them... Scott and I then started our journey!

With the truck and boat packed full we said our tearful good byes and head out early on Sept 7th. We had stopped 3 times before we even hit Las Vegas, for those of you who don't know Las Vegas is only 4 hours from where we started!! And of course we has to stop and go SHOPPING in Las Vegas!!! We content plated getting married while we were there but decided to keep driving! The rest of our journey was somewhat uneventful, lots of stops and lots of video taping! We arrived in Colorado at around 4am on Sept.8th. It was cold and rainy! I thought to my self why did I move here? I especially thought that as I was getting all of my clothing out of our boat ( I thought that it would be a good place to put my clothes for the move) they were all WET!!! The next week I spent in bed because I was sick... go figure!

A Good Time To Start...

Well I never thought I would be a blogger... but thanks to my cousin Stacie here I am!!! With all the new and exciting changes going on in our lives right now I thought this would be the perfect time to start!!
