Exciting news! I have moved blogs. I am in the process of slowly moving all the posts over. Please join me at MomOffTrack.com.

Today marks the one year anniversary of our move to Colorado. Guess some reflection is in order on this…

The Good

• Our house
• Year round swimming has been great for Carter
• Skiing-again, great for the boys. I personally would list it in the bad category.
• Children’s Hospital was a nice facility.
• Zoo
• Fun sports teams to become fans of
• Generally great accessibility for Carter.
• I have made nice friends through my online stuff that live here.
• My work has really taken off since I have been more focused on that here.
• Less stress and travel for Bob-not to mention the obvious reason we moved here
• The landscape can be pretty at times

The Bad

• Still really miss our friends.
• I hate being so far away from California. I hate that we can’t jump in the car and be there in a few hours. I really miss the beach and Disney.
• The snow-notice I didn’t put this in “The Ugly” category. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be
• Not really getting out to make new family friends yet. The few homeschool groups we tried here just didn’t work out well for us. I miss having barbeques too.
• Our backyard-no one here seems to care that split rail fencing provides NO privacy. Pretty creepy if you ask me.

The Ugly

• Tornadoes- I know only one has actually caused damage to the house but I am completely freaked out by them now.
• Being so far away from family. This has been hard this year with everything we have going on.
• Just being generally lonely

So, I guess that sums it up. Would I move back to Vegas? Probably not. I would however, jump on a move to Phoenix right now, which is something I really never thought I would say.

I really, really am trying to make “Bloom Where You Are Planted” my motto for this upcoming year.
