Forced family bonding in Colorado...




Six days after we arrived in Massachusetts, I left Jay to finish unpacking boxes in our new apartment and flew to Colorado for a family reunion. Leaving so soon after we moved was stressful for both of us, but Jay enjoyed some much needed "chill-out" time and I loved spending time with family in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Our time together was a mix of scheduled activities and free-time, which allowed us to participate in lots of fun activities together and still have time to recover before the next group activity. Highlights of the trip were whitewater rafting (in the same boat as my two of my youngest cousins, Benjamin and Jonah) and spending time in the arts and crafts house with my sister, mom, and grandma.

I also got to spend a night at the new home of my brother Chad and his wife Laurie. Like us, they recently sold their house and moved to a new town. Laurie will be attending grad school at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. I have to thank them again for getting up so early to drive me to the airport!

Looking forward to the next Morey reunion...

Gee and I thought that you were supposed to be some great editor(some book called The Privilege for Which We Struggled) Although I'll admit the antics of Benjamin & Jonah were among the highlights of the trip:)
