At 4:30 this morning we had to say goodbye to our little oasis in the mountains to drive our car back up onto its rickity trailer and head back onto the road home. Today was spent watching the miles whiz by outside the car, while inside we were gripping our seats (or the steering wheel) in suspense as we listened to The Last Jehad on tape. If you have not read, or listened to, that story we would highly recommend it. It's a thriller for sure and lucky for us, the tape was about 14 hours long so it took us all the way to the driveway of my parents' house. After about 12 long hours in the car, we passed over the Colorado border and pulled into Alexander Lane. Thanks to the ever-faithful creativity and thoughtfulness of my mom, we were greeted by 7 signs lining the dirt road saying, "Welcome...Back...To...Colorado...Jefff...and...Lindsay!" and then one big sign spanning the driveway reading "You Made It!" We had to drive the van through the sign, just like our very own ribbon cutting ceremony-great fun! We were met with big hugs, a delicious meal, and then Jefff was whisked off to go play in a softball game with my brother Nathan. True to form for the last month, there is no time to slow down!
We are exhausted and facing the daunting task of unloading our trusty van before it has to be returned at 10:30 tomorrow morning, so we are headed to bed. We will try to write again tomorrow and include a few more pictures and highlights. Sleep Tight.
