Colorado Or Bust

Two days after Henry graduated from Collegiate, he and Maxwell headed off for their summer in Colorado. Matt went along for the two day drive and to get them settled in and then came back home for pack out and the big move. More on the move later...

For now...here's Colorado!

Not going to lie...
watching them both drive away was tougher than I thought it would be


Somewhere in Kansas...
Hanging out with the VanZyl's the first night in Colorado

The Lowry Biergarten in Denver...one of our favorite old haunts
Henry's new place of employment...it's a beautiful, brand new facility
The first grocery trip...
...and their first meal in their new digs...
cheers to good decisions and a summer to always remember!

Florida Farewell

Image
Our last sunset in Florida didn't disappoint.  Honestly, it wasn't an emotional farewell though.  I always felt like our time in Florida was fleeting. As a family, we transitioned the kids in and out of the house over summers, and in and out again. In two short years we transitioned through different schools and jobs and friends. These last two years especially, I felt like a transient. Never quite settled.  Now, it's time to settle. I'd like to plant some roots, even if they aren't deep and forever at our next assignment. Like us, they just need to be strong for the season.  Eglin AFB, Florida  1 June 2023

Knoxville TN

AmeriCorps and the real world called.   The day after we got back home from Colorado, Maxwell was off. It should've been two days after we got home, but we missed our original flight and...anyhow.  On that Tuesday morning, Matt and Henry went to work, and Maxwell, Viv and I loaded up the U-Haul and headed to Knoxville. Viv was so excited to be a part of this moving crew...she was always in school when he left for Lyco so this was her first official move-in. There was a lot of driving, a lot of sweat, and (as always) some tears, but the three of us got it done!  Go answer that call, Moose. Go out and do great things!! Tennessee River Line Project  Day 1!
