Home on the Range

Welome to Colorado!
It is amazing how seeing that sign means so much! Chad and I feel like that Colorado is finally home, not a vacation that isn't ending. The trip back home went fine. Chet followed us back or actually led the way in his green explorer. I drove a little bit in Kansas along I-70 and I have to say: I don't care for the wind!
The in-laws and I got home about Wednesday night which Chad came back from Breck. It was so wonderful to be with him! :) Then I found out that I needed to house/pet sit for someone on Friday night! Sadly, I wasn't home long but it was nice. It has been wonderful too since Chad came home for a few days which he spent with me at the house. He will be working for a week but hopefully I'll be able to go to Breck to go snowboarding and maybe my father-in-law can go ski. :) Chad has roommates at Breck, which he is enjoying and it is a place to sleep.
I filled out an application and took a test tonight for the 2010 Census. Maybe I might get hired before the summer job hits. I shall see what happens. A few things that are interesting of late is that Burton has escaped the living room twice while we have been gone. She was found behind the washing machine! Crazy little girl! We are all just glad she didn't try to escape from the dryer, which my brother's ferret (Bob) did when I was younger. It just shocks me that my little monkey (Lago) hasn't tried to escape. I miss those little critters. It is amazing how you get attached to them.
Life is going well for Chad and I. Nothing new yet. I might be getting a job here shortly to bring in some money while Chad is loving his job at Breck. I mean, he's outside, teaching what he loves, and constantly on the snow! Why wouldn't he be happy? Hope everyone is doing well and miss everyone that we saw in Ohio! Can't wait to come back sometime. I'm hoping our summer office might be close to Ohio so I can see family and friends again.
Love from the family in the West to those family members in the East!
