How do we say goodbye to the place that has meant so much to us? From the very first sunrise over the Rockies to the countless days spent in the mountains, this state has been home for a very long time.
As we packed up the last 14 years of our lives, we were overwhelmed with gratitude for all the memories we made and the life we built.
We hiked many trails, skied many slopes, camped in many forests, swam and fished (well Jesse fished) in many snowmelt frigid waters. We had a fair share of “three free” at Coors. We got married on a mountain side. We brought three beautiful little “natives” into this world and said goodbye to our first (fur) baby. We celebrated all the milestones, the ups and downs, the firsts and lasts.
We will miss the crisp mountain air, the golden aspen trees, and all the family and friends left behind.
As Maria says in Sound of Music “when the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.” It seems that window is looking out at the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. Moving away is bittersweet but we are excited to see what this next chapter holds.
