We made some good progress on unpacking this weekend. It's been a slow process, not helped at all by our feeling daunted at the enormity of it. We go in fits and spurts, alternating between being completely lazy and apathetic, and getting so frustrated at the clutter that we bang out a ton of boxes at a time. This weekend saw a lot of the latter. The garage is actually starting to look like we may be able to park our car in it sometime relatively soon. Preferably before we have a blizzard or something.
Friday night we got to spend a few hours visiting with Jim since he was in town recruiting high school students. We walked downtown in the sub-freezing cold, dodging the crowds for the Denver Parade of Lights, and met Jim at his hotel. We spent the rest of the night in the hotel lobby bar drinking and talking about life. A good portion of the conversation was coming up with ways to convince Leia that she and Jim should move to Denver. Who knows if it's actually a possibility, but it sure would be fantastic!
Last weekend we drove down to visit my mother's family in Aztec and Farmington, New Mexico for Thanksgiving. We're really wanting to make that trip a yearly (at least) thing, since we always have such a great time there with everybody, and they're the nearest family to where we're living. This year my mother also happened to be visiting there at the same time, so we got to see her too. No dad this time, but we'll take what we can get! We'll be flying to California in a few weeks for Christmas too so we'll get to see them both again anyway.
