i am really. trying really, really hard. but coming home was bittersweet. we ended up leaving sedona very early in the morning in hopes of bypassing a snow storm that was beginning to cripple northern arizona. all of the passes to the north were closed. so we spent a very, very long day in the car driving all the way south - nearly to the border - to cross into new mexico and head north again. it was a scary few hours until we cleared the white out conditions and the lazy day we were so hoping to spend in santa fe will have to wait until summer - though we were able to stop for lunch at our favorite diner {best carnitas tacos and mexican hot chocolate EVER} in the midst of the southwestern snow.
our road trip was a what road trips should be. americana, family, love, laughs, amazing finds and food - it truly could not have been better - only longer. and it was on this road trip, sitting in that aforementioned cafe that we began to lay plans for the rest of the year. plans that will forever change not only our lives - but our outlook on the world. i look forward to sharing more soon...

I am thinking you will be moving somewhere warm soon...probably somewhere like Pennsylvania. I am totally right, huh?

I'm excited to hear about your thoughts.
And I agree with it's hard to be excited about being here. The weather has been so, so dreary. And more.
