How quickly we become Texans.

Well, we've had a wonderful week with our family here in New Mexico! I really have enjoyed relaxing some, and spending time away from work. On Tuesday, it was my birthday, so Laura took me up to a hotel in Durango Colorado, and we relaxed in the mountains for a romantic getaway. Alli stayed with Nana and Papa. We also got to drive up to Silverton, and it was a really nice drive in the mountains! I miss the mountains since there are none in Dallas.

Thanksgiving day was nice to be with all the family! We had planned on leaving Saturday morning early to drive back to Dallas, but the weather is supposed to be snowy, windy and yucky the whole 14 hour drive home- we are less than enthused about getting stuck in a snowstorm as we did last year at Christmas (it took a full 8 hours longer than it should have to get home...) We may just stay here an extra day, and try to miss the snowy roads.

We wish we could see you all. We are grateful for each of you, and we are happy that we have this blog to hear from each of you as you experience the holidays all over the country. We feel much closer to each of you than we would if we did not have this blog. We love you -
