One COLD Halloween

Daddy and Aiden getting ready to head out trick-or-treating!


(Notice the snow? Yeah... we'll get to that in a bit.)


Aiden had the best time trick-or-treating! Rex said that whenever people opened their doors to give him candy, he'd try to walk inside every time. He ran around in circles a lot. Laughed. Squeeled. And ate lots of sugar!


And this is what these poor Coloradoans had to trick-or-treat in. I took this picture the morning of Halloween from our back porch. It's beautiful. But WRONG.

You guys must be from California or something, because this was the warmest Halloween we here in Colorado have had in years, maybe ever. We didn't even have to wear coats, so people could actually see the kids costumes. I hope you enjoyed your first Colorado Halloween because we're not likely to have such a warm one again any time soon.

Welcome to Colorado Halloweens! Every costume has to be ready to wear sweats under it, or a snow coat over. Yea for Colorado! I'm so jealous that you actually live there. Well, at least we're going home for Christmas!

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

Mist of Darkness

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

Surrounded by Handsomeness

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
