We finally got home last Wednesday and I have to say, the northern trip was not nearly as scenic as the first and southern route was. We did, however, catch our breath over the beauty of Wyoming, declaring it "a close second to New Mexico". We enjoyed the animal life perched in the near distance, wondering what kind they were. We chuckled over a camel farm, not what we expected in Wyoming for sure! Utah was beautiful as well!

We stopped to see Tabetha, Jeremy, Ayla, and Sophie on the way, enough time to have dinner and play a bit before bed, and then we hit the road again the next morning.

We spent the few days we had piddling around the house, running errands, unpacking the last of the belongings we brought from Virginia, finding a nicer route for Mark to take to work, and just relaxing. My love started his relief week at the station, preparing for change of command on Friday and the house is quiet without him. I will seriously look for a job instead of looking AT jobs now that we're home and settled. Admittedly, I have enjoyed the break from work and just being home playing with fabric, cooking, and nesting.
Tabetha and the girls fly in Thursday morning to attend the Change of Command Ceremony and we'll enjoy their short stay with us.
