Well it is official. This time last year, on this very weekend, Doug and I were out here in Southern California looking at places to live. So it is appropriate on this weekend, that we are heading back home to Colorado for a little bit of Rocky Mountain love. I am anxious to get out of town for a few days, as both him and I have been busy bees at work, and a respite from the office for a few days will be nice. It's so funny to me how I can go weeks and months not missing Colorado, not thinking of our house, not worrying about stuff at home. And the minute I know we are heading back home for a visit, suddenly my heart wants to get there as soon as possible. This go around, we are checking on the house, and making sure it is all winterized (although rumors are it is in the 80s back home in Colorado, odd for it being November. Halloweens are always filled with the snow that drifts in right about the time that a trick or treater lands on your doorstep. Rarely can I remember going door to door as a kid without having a coat over that years creative costume. But regardless of temps it will be good to be in the old house again.
We are also going home to vote. Doug and I don't want to miss our opportunity to vote in this years election, it seeming so much more important this year than any other. And since we are both still registered in the old 'hood, it is as good an excuse as any to take some time off, stand in a line, and make our choices. I am energized this is another reason we are heading home. While there are a few ballot measures I would definitely vote against here in Cali if we were registered (definitely would vote no on prop 8), I am glad my vote for president is counting in my hometown. You can move the gal outta Colorado but ya can't move the Colorado out of her.
Anyway looking forward to the time away. Hope all had a great halloweenie day, back in a few days. (throwing up the "gone fishin" sign.)
