But it was soooo worth it!! We had a wonderful week with Chris and I really, really didn't want to come back to SD. I don't even try to kid myself anymore, when it comes to family BS, I prefer NOT to deal with it. Moving is so much easier-LOL.
But we had to come back for now. Thankfully the trip home was with much improved road conditions. And in the daylight, so Megan snapped pictures of the magnificent Colorado scenery...
(These bluffs are on the edge of Grand Junction)
(These are in Glenwood Canyon)
(And these are around Vail)The horses and cats did fine in the care of a friend of ours, but were glad to see us. The cats practically tackled Megan and this morning Shooter was pretty adament that he get some attention. Now I suppose it is time to get back to reality...bummer!

Oooo beautiful photos! I am right there with you on the family bs, we moved from Cali to TX just so we never have to see it again. Good riddance!
Ahhh....super pictures!
Glad your back safe and sound - thanks for the pictures!
Glad you're back safe & sound and that you had a great time.
So do you think you'll be moving in the summer when Megan's done this year of school?
Michelle-I'm apparently not very smart...I leave and then come back when needed. I always think things will change-but they don't so I leave again. Makes life interesting anyway-LOL.
Cdn-Yep. I was really hoping to make it until Megan graduated here-but she is okay with moving too. The high school she will attend out there has equine management and animal science programs, a superior choir program and an extensive art program too. She is pretty excited.
Oh I LOVE GRAND Junction!! It is where I got married, blech I don't love that part. I love Colorado, We would drive up to the Grand Mesa. And Colbran brrrr! I am so glad you are back! And look pictures (while you were driving???) Yes Family can be a pain. I prefer my Blog Family! Glad you are home "sister!"

We're all with you sister. Family bs makes us all want to high tail it away too. Far far away. At least you are moving to something(one) nice :)) And maybe better weather? Your daughter took amazing pics. Absolutely gorgous. That first one looks like a painting.
Happy New Year! (and hold some $$)
Glad to hear that you made it back in one piece! The trip out sounds like it was a bit hairy.
CO is so beautiful - we were there 2 years ago. I love the mountains and the weather there.
I hope you get to move as planned. I want to go to Megan's new high school! Equine management courses? How cool!
BEE-U- tiful pictures! I'd love to see those places in person! Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas with your hunny! And Boy do you deserve it! Hang in there BEC - it can only get better- after all - if you listen to the media- it is a new Era..(sigh**)
I for one am always glad that one year is over and another beginning- lots of new chances for amazing things to happen!
Whew brrr! That looks mighty cold! Glad you got some snuggle time! Glad to have you back!
and on that note, you've been Scrapped. Come on over! Me and probably 20 other people have scrapped you by now :)
Wow those pictures are gorgeous. I was in CO in the summertime and the scenery didn't get to me but those pics sure do.
As for family BS, it is what it is...........most of us have experienced it in one form or another.
