I just try to avoid driving around all these crazy CO drivers! I swear, they do drive differently here....darn city drivers anyways! Not what I am used to at all!
My mom was here for a week over Thanksgiving, we were all very happy to have her visit! The boys had a great time showing her all their new tricks and making her play with them ALL day long! And of course we enjoyed getting a few early Christmas presents while she was here! She got me a Kitchen Aid Mixer.....I know many of you are saying "Why?, What will YOU do with that?"....I do make good Christmas cookies!!! (thanks to my friend Challi). It will come in very handy, heck, maybe I'll learn something new! Or maybe not, let's not be silly!
We took her for a drive in the mountains where we came across some very friendly deer who could've cared less that we were sitting inches from them and taking pictures.
We finally got our plane tickets back to Ohio for Christmas. Watching airline prices is NOT fun let me tell you. They change every second! We finally got a decent deal. We will be flying home non-stop into Akron/Canton on December 23 (about 6pm) and leaving bright and early December 31 (6am), non-stop. I'm so glad we got non-stop flights, we won't have to keep Gino occupied for quite so long. Wish us luck!
I'm sure it will be an experience that I will not want to do again. Dominic is looking forward to flying in a plane though. We see them fly over our house ALL the time (some look like they are going to touch our rooftops).
We also watch the fighter jets train (base nearby). That's pretty cool. Some are VERY loud too (you don't hear them coming, but you sure do hear them leave!).....we never tire of hearing them though. It's pretty cool to watch them land and take off too. They look like they are going to land, than shoot straight up into the air and circle back around to land. Pretty amazing what those pilots are trained to do.
Of course we would like to see as many people as we can while we are back, so we will do what we can. Be sure to call or text me to see what's going on!
I keep hearing about all the snow everyone in OH is getting and we have a coating at the moment...the rain (from the 60 degree weather), just turned to snow as I write this. Is is supposed to be in the 20's tomorrow. But wouldn't it figure that the year we decide to move out west it snows buckets in the east? I come to find out that we will not see much snow where we are. They are getting dumped on in the mountains though (foots of snow by the hour)...that's about the only place CO get's snow. That's a bummer. Last year they got a bunch, and everyone was snowed in for like 6 days, but I guess it is rare. It figures. I guess we'll have to either drive an hour or fly 2 to see a good amount of snow...how silly. We do plan on getting in at least one good ski day. We have to experience it at least once while we're here. Dominic would probably have fun too. Gino doesn't really like the cold though.
Check out the new "4-wheeler" as Dominic calls it that his Momo bought him while
she was here...he's such a sweet talker! I have to share this funny picture of Gino too. Him and Dominic were in the bathroom getting ready for their bath when I stepped out for a minute...next thing I know Dominic says "Gino fell in the tub!"....I come in to find this
I guess he was ready for his bath! I must not have been quick enough for him. What a goofball!
If anyone has talked to me or my mom you already know how badly I am ready to move back to Ohio. It has proved much harder than we imagined being away from everything familiar and our families....maybe harder for me in that sense because I have never lived further than 20 minutes away from home. We both want to though in the very near future...it's just a matter of making it happen. We are signed into a 1 year lease here, but we have ways around it. Andy would also need to find a job first. He does have a good paying job here, and they treat him very well, but he's not sure if he likes this type of work....though he is gaining some great computer knowledge...I think he even knows more than me about some things now! So, wish us luck.
There hasn't been anything happening with our house either...very disappointing. But I suppose it's the market right now. If you hear of anyone looking, please be sure to tell them about it.
If anyone hears of a job opening that would be right for Andy too please let us know.
And please continue to keep us in your prayers as we try to figure out this mess of a life we've created. Thanks everyone!
And if I don't get a chance to write before ......
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND HAVE A
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
