I finally was able to tell all my friends this past week. Last night we had a girls night out and I was able to tell the remaining few about the move. A few tears were shed and vacations already planned. I think it's so funny that as soon as we tell people they say, "Hey, we were thinking of going to Colorado this summer...or next winter..or whenever." I'm very excited about hosting many vacationers there. You all know how I love house guests. :)
My sister-in-law was here yesterday booking her vacation rental in Vail for the first week in August. Isn't that funny?! It seems just eerie, and not reality at all. But, I have to say, I'm starting to get a little excited about just getting there and checking everything out. Our good friends decided to take the trip with us, so we will be road trippin' over spring break. Many a picture will follow.
As far as the kids go...the boys have been the same. Mitchell has been saying more lately that he'll be sad to move and leave his friends. Tanner's been a little more crabby this week. I don't know if it's the move or just that he's a 10 yr. old boy wanting more independence. Ashley is having a harder time this week than she did in the beginning. We've been dealing with depression and trying to work through her feelings. Allison is just plain pissed still. :) We just let her feel what she's feeling, and don't try to change her feelings about it. She has been on the web, talking with a few kids from the school that we are going to check out for them. That's a good sign, don't ya think? I would love for her to meet someone she can relate to there.
So, that's a little update. Ashley and I are doing a little shopping today. Chuck wants me to return Allison's hamster....but, honestly, I just can't do it. After reading her blog, I can't do it. Chuck's going to have to be the mean one. :) I honestly think we'll let her keep it---oops, I forgot she reads this. I didn't say that, Allison! ;)
Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm off to a hockey game...........again.

That must make you feel a bit better, knowing you'll have some house guests so soon! Maybe your friends can bring along one of Allison's friends...give her some reassurance with the move :)
I think you'll all find yourself going through many emotions as the move gets closer. Hopefully your spring break trip will help calm many of the fears. I think you are handling it very well- just letting the kids feel whatever they feel and not push them.
Hope you had a good weekend!
