We Made It!

So, after two days of driving with an eight month old and two dogs... we finally arrived in Denver Saturday night. Our trip started off with Tatum spitting up on Matt's head, then Matt's soda exploding all over him and the steering wheel (which he then tried to hold over me.. lol...), then Hunter threw up in the back of the car... let's rewind to Thursday- Matt accidently had the movers take Jackson and Hunter's food, so he had to buy them new. He did not know what kind to buy them b/c I have changed it... if you have dogs and you have ever changed their food... you know what types of things that can do to a dog's stomach..they smelled good! - so, as you can see we had a wonderful start to our road trip. Then, as we were in the Mountains- and I mean UP in the mountains (as in- in the snow!), we had to stop and give Liz's car a break... it did not want to go any faster than 35 mph... lol...

Anyway, we made it! And it is beautiful! It was definitely the most beautiful drive! The landscape in Arizona changed so many times, and then CO with the absolutely gorgeous mountains and trees, and streams. We had a stream along us most of the way- through the mountains, etc. The only difficulty we had was as we were taking the long scenic way through the mountains- there was no gas station in sight... no restroom... so, we finally arrived in Telluride and we pulled into a beautiful ski lodge, where they allowed us to use the restroom, and we ended up staying the night there, where we sat in front of a fireplace overlooking white snow-capped mountains, and sipping hot chocolate. Okay, so the fireplace did not work, and we had frozen pizza for dinner... it was still gorgeous! Flip flops, by the way, are not a good choice of shoe when you will be driving UP into the mountains and may have to take the dogs out. Coats would also be a good choice to have, or at least have a good sweatshirt handy! (KNOW WHERE IT IS!) ha ha...

The house is a mess, but it is slowly being placed together. Our mover unloaded our things on Sunday- what a nice guy, so we only had to sleep on the air mattress two nights- once in Arizona and once here. Tatum is having a difficult time adjusting her sleep schedule, but we'll eventually get it figured out. The dogs have a pretty large yard where we can play fetch- they are loving it, and we have beautiful flowering trees all over. The mountains are visible from our upstairs bedrooms- especially in Liz's room, but we can see them as we are driving to our neighborhood.

Pictures to come...
