Absense

Nearly 3 months have passed since my last post, and lots has been going on to prevent the posts (not all good!). Our trip to NY was great until the last night, when we hit a deer outside of Ely, Nevada, on the lonliest highway in America (it was). Thanks to Onstar, we finally got some help, but it was a pretty grim 24-hours, which included a trip in a 14-foot U-haul over the remainder of the lonliest highway (7 summits along the way!). We came home to find that my Mom's house had burned down (we got the news in about Ohio), then she had a stroke, and then I broke my arm.

Things improved in late September when we headed east again for Laura's wedding--really wonderful (see her blog, thelittlehouseinthecity.blogspot.com). Now we're looking forward to hosting Laura and Weston for the west coast celebration, along with about 2 dozen family members and close friends. I will get some posts up about the celebration--I promise.
