Home Sweet Home

Well everyone we are headed back to Colorful Colorado. Drew got accepted to all the dental schools he interviewed at (which is amazing by the way), and one of them happened to be Colorado. We have been praying very hard that we would get in to CU. Drew is an amazing man, dental school is really hard to get into and he did very well. I kind of feel like we won the lottery. Although I am starting to think about leaving and it makes me really sad. I have really grown to love this place and all of the people around me. But I still have a few months left to enjoy it.
Anyway, besides that we went back to Colorado for Thanksgiving and it was a blast. We were able to do so many things. Just being with the whole family is so fun. I must say I am very glad we won't have to make the drive home so many times a year. The roads were AWEFUL on the drive home. At least through the mountains. All day today I was in such a good mood just because we made it home safely yesterday. I love snow... don't love to drive in it.

Also, we decorated the house tonight, which is always fun. Afterwards we relaxed by the tree with a little hot chocolate (courtesy of Mark and Liz).

I didn't get a chance to take many pictures, or let's be honest I was too lazy. But I did get a few, so enjoy.


This is my niece Kyla.



Do they come any cuter than this?



She loved walking in my shoes.




Drew loves this picture. It looks like it is on fire.

This is in our family room. Check out those blocks. I was pretty proud of myself for making them.

Kristen,
I don't have to tell you how excited we all are that you guys will be coming back to Denver for dental school. Did Drew tell you about my little scheme? What do you think?

By the way, I have all these pictures of Kristen around our house. On my lamp by the bed, on the mirror in our bathroom, on the fridge. I love your picture but why so many?.....it does make me miss you guys, but I'm saturated with Kristen's!!

Yes! Reading your blog just made my day. Even if I have two music programs coming up that I'm not ready for at all, as long as I know that Kristen and Drew are returning, I think I can make it through. Congratulations on winning the dental lottery!

What are you talking about? That cake was of you. Didn't you see the yellow icing for blond hair and the princess hat and bow? It's got Kristen written all over it.
