Transitions

Oregon feels so long ago. The last 2 weeks have been packed with family and friends. I've done much more than I anticipated I would have time for. It seems that trip preparation has taken a backseat to spending time with those we haven't seen and won't see for an uncertain amount of time. After spending a night in Salt Lake City we made into Boulder in time for some live music at the Southern Sun. After 2 days of unpacking and organizing, we kicked things off with a bang. Erin and I and a whole mess of old Chautauqua coworkers got together in Denver for a grand reunion. The next evening we were entertaining both our families after my parents flew into Colorado just before dinner. The following days my family and friends relaxed with one another. We even spent a night at the Luck family cabin in Allenspark. A warm fire pushed out the cold while we made dinner and played euchre. My folks left town Thursday evening and early Friday I was headed up to Nederland to ride Eldora after they reported 21" of fresh snow in the previous 48 hours. That same evening I made it to Red Rocks with the ol' Dark Horse crew to see Jurassic 5 perform in the snow. The next evening we met up with friends to see the Mountain Sun 20th anniversary funk show at the Boulder Theater. That was last night, today is Super Bowl Sunday and we are headed to Eric's to watch the game. We will say our good byes after since we will be busy before our flight to LA tomorrow. We had an awesome time seeing everyone and sharing so many memorable experiences over the last 2 weeks. The gravity of our trip still hasn't sunk in and likely won't for another couple weeks. It still feels like a pipe dream even though we leave tomorrow. I will keep everyone posted on our whereabouts when time allows. Please comment if anything comes to mind. I will miss you all.
