- 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 ;]

Great little update. Sounds like you guys are doing well. We love Colorado too. That is where Perry grew up. Glad you have such an amazing family and support system. That is so great that TJ will be home longer. Can't wait to see pics of your baby boy.
Wait really? when are you coming out to Durango, because there I can visit
Colorado. sigh. My favorite place ever. hope you have a great time!!!
How sad that you had to give up Rocky! I bet your dad missed him, though...and soon you'll just be a days drive away! I envy you going out west. CO is gorgeous...or so I've heard.
I stayed with my in-laws while Adam was at basic. It was really fun and they loved having Baby Josh around.
I, too can't wait to see pics of your cute little baby boy!
Make sure that you post the maternity pics that you get to model for...and she doesn't want you because you're the only pregnant girl. We all know it's because you're absolutely gorgeous!
