Oh my gosh, it's been almost a week

Well, we left Pennsylvania on the 12th. We were up at 3 a.m. to finish packing and put the tarp on the motorhome. My husband's uncles (they are twins), came and picked us up and took us to the airport in Buffalo. Our plane left at 10:40 and we arrived in Denver at 3:45 p.m.. We took the skyride bus home and arrived around 6 p.m.. Our daughter's birthday dinner was planned for 6:30, we literally opened the bags to get a couple of things out, signed a birthday card and went to dinner. We arrived home around 9:30 p.m., and were completely exhausted. My husband got up the next morning and went to work though, he had to be really tired; although he would never really admit it. I was awake when he left and got up, still on Eastern time I guess. Started unpacking and doing laundry, cleaning up the house a little. I was anxious for my puppy to come home from my son's house. My daughter called and we went to have a coffee and then went to Scrapbook Destinations to look around. I found some cute paper for some of the pictures of working on the house. Then I went to meet with my partner to be brought up to speed on our clients and our new office. Made some phone calls and returned emails from people who I hadn't contacted while I was on vacation. Thursday we had a family dinner, my daughter's favorite spaghetti with Italian sausage and garlic bread. Her husbands parents and his Uncle and Aunt(who were in from Iowa), came over for cake and ice cream. Then Friday we went and got groceries, we were scraping around trying to figure out what we could eat, without very many basics.

Hopefully, things will calm down this weekend, although I have shopping and bills to pay and catch up on some other work details, so who knows if I will be able to post again until sometime next week. Again, I'd be remiss if I didn't thank all of our family and friends who have helped in one way or another so we can endure this journey of ours, of our building this house.

Wow how exciting! Makes me want to build another house. It looks like a gorgeous area also. I think I would of been totally exhausted also. Thanks for the very nice comments, they say it could easily be 6 months till I'm walking so we will see. It sure has made things a little more difficult thats for sure!
