Feeling pretty OK!

Life goes on over here and at the moment I'm feeling pretty ok! The sun has been put most days, and our outdoor patio area is progressing to be a wonderful place to relax! I will post photos soon.

We are gearing up towards the summer now and are excited for so many things. We have an amazing vacation booked. Ethan starts Baseball and will have an official team, shirt etc. Also I am looking forward to watching and supporting my friends at Dressage Shows here. Of course, we also can't wait for my Mum to come back over and see more of Colorado. Plus we want to have lots of BBQs and socials at ours!

I was flying around Today, running chores in the sunshine and all of a sudden I realised that it's starting to feel more like home here. I know where to get my groceries, where to buy outdoor furniture. I have a hairdresser, a nail place, a dentist and dry cleaner. I know where to go for steak or Italian (and where not to go)! We have friends we love and a fabulous school for Ethan. All in all I feel like I might be ok... for right now anyway.

Tomorrow the weather is set to change, much needed rain is on the way so the joy may be short lived.

Anyhooooo, my bed is calling- another busy day ahead tomorrow!

BFN xoxo

Easter is on it's way

Every time a holiday pops up I get a little homesick.

Easter is close by and I am missing England, I miss shopping for Easter Eggs. Here there are Marshmallow chicks, solid chocolate bunnies and candy filled plastic eggs. But, the supermarkets aren't filled with aisle upon isle of gigantic hollow chocolate eggs. I loved shopping in the UK for Easter Eggs, the colors and choices were wonderful and the selection here just isn't that good. I will have to make do with some Lindt Chicks and Cadburys Creme Eggs, not a bad option but still not the same.

The weather has been a bit nuts, hot weather brings out all the spring flowers and tree blossoms, then we have a few inches of snow dumped which melts in 24 hours and the weather goes back to the 70s again only to hop back to snow a few days later. The poor horses are bouncing between moulting and shivering depending on the day and the flowers are trying their hardest not to die in the frosts.

Easter was always such a big deal in the UK, the kids are all off school for the long weekend and get full and crazy on too much sugar, here there is a regular school schedule which kind of dampens the whole deal. Its also a time i really miss being around my friends and family as I know what a big deal they make of it for Ethan.
