We're Back!

Well we're back from the out west, so I figured I'd try and do a re-cap. We spent the last two weeks in Durango CO, Farmington NM, and Salt Lake City/Provo UT.  And I'm a horrible blogger and took just about no photos....and I'm too lazy to even post those today :] 

• The plane ride there and back were hellish for me, nothing too bad...I'm just happy to be back on the ground. 
• It snowed the first night we were there!
• I now have beautiful crocdile skin from the dry air. No matter how much body butter, mousitureizer, lotion I slathered on, it was unavoidable. Thats what I get for growing up on the humid east coast 
• We had to say goodbye to Mr. Rocky Balboa (our dog). He has some kind of skin irritation and seperation anxiety, which means he scratches himself silly. I decided I wouldn't be able to handle him and our new born so we flew him out with us and he's living with my Dad now.
• We had family pictures taken with TJ's mom, step-dad and siblings. And heres the part of my blog where I get to brag: The photographer asked if I would do a session of maternity photos so she can have a portfolio to show people. She's trying to start a maternity/newborn/infant package and needed a model :] nevermind that I was the ONLY preggo girl in Durango...
• We spent most of our days catching up with/meeting a lot of TJ's friends still in the area.
• I fell in more love with that little mountain town (Durango).
• I had my first baby shower, put together by TJ's mom and step mom! I'll post more on that later. But I will say that we are so amazingly blessed!
• We found out last week that TJ will be depolying in May to Afgahnistan. The original plan had been for him to go sometime this month or March, so this is better. However it will be for 10 months. I can't say I'm happy about it, but I knew what I was getting in to when I married him, and I'm so proud  that he will have the opportunity to serve his country overseas.
• So, because of the deployment, we've decided that I will be moving to Durango. I have a much bigger support system out there than here. And I'll need all the help I can get I'm sure.

And thats about it. It was a busy two weeks so I'm glad to be back home, although I'm in major nesting mode, I'm finding plenty of time to rest ;]
