Last night when we pulled into the parking lot of a hotel in Utah, it was 19 degrees and there was snow on the ground.
Stark contrast from the 70-something it was when we left our Southern California beach-y home the day before.
When we arrive in Colorado tomorrow, it’s supposed to be colder and have even more snow. Lots of it.
And I have to say…
I AM THRILLED!!!!! I’m excited!!!! I’m THRILLED!!!!
So, anyway. We are on our way to John’s Rocky Mountain home–”home,” as in, where he grew up, his parents live and such, of course–in Colorado for about a week. We love it there.
(That was an understatement, just so ya know. We love, love, LOVE it there.)
It’s going to be wonderfully cold and snowy. And we’ll get to take walks in the beautifully lit and decorated tiny downtown, introduce Troy to the snow, keep Merritt nice and bundled up, and see all of John’s dear friends and family.
And did I mention that it’s going to be snowy?
It is.
Before we get there, though, we have another day of driving ahead of us. With two bitty boys. Yesterday went great. That was because we left in the afternoon and only drove 6-ish hours… the last few of which, both boys were asleep. Today will be fun times, that’s for sure.
Actually, the fun has already begun. I just realized I didn’t pack Troy an outfit for today in our overnight bag. Staying in his red fire truck jammies all day isn’t really an option. I’m defending myself with the fact that it was almost 3am when I was packing said overnight bag.
See ya in the snow, peeps.
Hurrah! Enjoy your colorado snow time. :) I hear we’re going to get hit pretty good this week, and so I am happy… just for you, of course. ;)

I cant wait to see pictures of you guys in the snow. I know that you were tired and a little grumpy on Sat. but it was so nice to hang out! I missed you guys so much. I have to tell you when I saw you guys come through the doors at the performance I so very excited! I have to admit I really did go through a little depression after I left. I cant wait to spend more time with you when you get back. Remember enjoy your time out there and have a blast!!!!! Love you!

Can’t wait to enjoy all the wonderful snowy pictures you’ll post for our enjoyment; because pictures are as close as I want to be to all that snowy stuff. ;)
I remember the pictures from last year. It did look like a lot of fun.
Hoe you all have a super wonderful time.

Stay safe on the road and keep warm!
