I am a 33 year old wife and mother of a 10 year old boy and step-mother to a 15 year old girl who lives in Arizona. I was born in Pennsylvania, moved to Arizona when I was three, then moved to Wyoming with my husband and son in search of a better life when I was 25 and moved once more to the beautiful state of Colorado a little over 5 years ago! I love Colorado - it is the best climate and the most beautiful place on Earth!

Update!

HI everyone! Hola from Colorado! I thought I should share some updates with everyone!

First - all is well here! It is Fall and I am in Heaven! This is my favorite season - I love the changing colors, the falling temperatures and the fact that it is the start of the cooler weather and holiday season! Kyle is enjoying his 5th grade year - they are the highest grade in the school so they are king of the hill so to speak - and he is just eating it up! He has excelled this year and is doing really good! Travis is doing good to - having some issues at work but all is well! I am doing pretty good too - my job is good (the occasional issue but who doesn't right!). I have been walking on my breaks and loving it - it is so beautiful in this town right now!
THAT is pretty much the short of it!

I wanted to share our Pennsylvania trip with everyone! In May - over the Mother's Day weekend - we (my hubby, son and I) took a trip to the East coast! It was the first time my son and husband had a chance to go there! Kyle completely enjoyed the BIG plane he got to ride in and to see the looks on Travis' face at all the sights we saw - PRICELESS!
Our main reason to visit - was a surprise 80th birthday party for my grandma. It was also a family reunion that was amazing! My Grandma's bday is actually Groundhog Day - but we decided that Mother's Day would be best due to weather issues! My men had not met my Grandma before so this was the best for me!



Here is the cake for my Grandma - she was so surprised - it was AWESOME!!!




This is down the street from my Uncle Johnny's house - my sister and son wanted to go feed the cows - LOL - so here we are! Notice the plant like things in my hand? Those are green onions - LOL - there was a green onion farm right before this one - that is where we decided to pick 'grass' for the cows - I wonder how they liked it? Also notice the other hand - YUP - a wine glass - need I say more?


Here is my Grandma. Uncle Harry and their friend from England Alan! It was such a fun trip - I had met Alan as a child but didn't remember him - he was a BLAST! And of course - I always enjoy my time with Harry and my Grandma!


OK - we had to do the tourist thing - we went thru the Amish country (UM - beautiful) and took our picture under the Intercourse, Virginia sign! LOL - I have it hanging on my desk at work!!!



Here is a picture of the lot of us! I swear - before that day - I had not met 80% of my family in this picture - it was incredible! I really enjoyed this!!!!

We all had so much fun! We toured DC one day with my Uncle Harry and Alan - we also toured in Pennsylvania - the Civil War museaum and the Amish Country! It was so cool to watch my men back there - they were so taken with the area - it was the best experience for me!

Needless to say - we will be back - many many times!!!

Haha- Intercourse.. I loved the crazy PA names we found driving thru Amish country. Did you come across Hershey? The town smells like chocolate bc of the factory. I'm convinced I will retire there! lol
