Last of the Firsts

I'm just days away from having been here in Colorado for one year.  Pretty hard to believe how fast the year went.  I realized at Thanksgiving that K and I were spending our last "first" together and we have now essentially spent 365 days together.  I was kind of sad when the reality first set in but I'm not going to read anymore in to it, besides there's way more surprises in store for us I am sure.  Although, we have now spent all major and minor holidays together- which makes me really happy. 

We actually have a flight planned to go home this Thursday-Monday (Dec. 6), which will be one year to the day that I left Mississippi.  Not really that ironic but kind of interesting how it worked out.  Looking forward to seeing my nieces and visiting with family.

It's looking like my work will wrap up tomorrow and I haven't heard any word about more to come.  I pretty upset about this timing and just hadn't really thought it all through because now I'm anticipating that I"ll be out of work until the new year, just given the holidays and all.  That really blows because I won't be able to do much of a Christmas for us.  Perhaps something will come up but I'm really not feeling that it will.  When we get back from Mississippi I am going to try and find some kind of Holiday-season work, somewhere. . . .

The doggies are all good.  Dixie is so happy for the winter weather.  Today it was single-digit temperatures, with the wind, and I could not get her to come in from the backyard.  Ha.  The other two were of course buried under blankets inside.  They are SO incredibly spoiled now that I've been working from home the last few weeks.  Paige is essentially in my lap all day.  I definitely think she's a little confused about whether she's a dog or a baby, which is partly my fault because I pamper her pretty good. 

We still haven't had a big snow yet here in Denver but I know it is just a matter of days, maybe even while we're gone (although right now the forecast looks pretty mild). 

That's about all for now.  I'm sure I'll have pictures of snow soon. 

First Dusting

And it's still going, might get up to 6 inches today! Glad I'm working from home today!!!
