Happy New Year!

Wow, there is a lot of stuff to update here! I guess I will start with where we left off on the last post and that was SNOW! As you know, Kelley and I spent some time down in Durango this Christmas – we rented an SUV and picked up Kelley’s sister, Heather from the Colorado Springs airport and completed the trek down to Durango without incident – it was snowy all around but the roads were perfectly maintained. Durango was, as always, a blast – lots of relaxation and laughs – it felt great! Click the image below to see all the pictures from Durango:
Of course, when we packed up to come home Colorado was getting another big bad blizzard. It took us 12 hours to travel north to Denver from Durango. This trip usually only takes 6 hours. Heather’s flight out of Colorado Springs was canceled of course and rather than trek another 4 hours north to Fort Collins (usually only takes 1 hour) we spent the night in Denver. The following day we learned that the snow caused CSU to be closed (3 and a half snow days so far this year!) and after driving back to Fort Collins and shoveling out – we were free to relax from the trip north.
Of course, we had to rest up for New Years! We decided to go out to the bars this year and got a whole crew together – we had a great time and drank way too much. Today we are going to sleep a lot and complete a mini detox session. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Looks like a great trip, Bossman. It also looks like you’re hoarding all of Buffalo’s snow this winter. Send some our way!

Man, believe me – if I could move some of the 6 foot walls of snow from our street to Buffalo where is belongs I would! We are getting a bunch of 45 degree days this week – so a lot of it is looking pretty sad already.

This is all Al Gore’s fault.
