is it september yet?

My husband has graciously purchased plane tickets for Attison and me to fly to Colorado in September. Can I tell you how much I am looking forward to this?! I haven’t been this excited about anything in quite a while. I wrote about it here, but it bears repeating. :)

I have friends in Colorado who I hope to be able to see, and Roger and I have lots and lots of family there, too. Atti and I will be staying with family, and I’m quite sure Attison will be loved and spoiled there even more than she is here!

I checked AccuWeather’s normal averages in September for the area of Colorado we’re going to, and of course it seems like heaven to me ~ highs in the low 70s, lows in the high 30s, and normal averages in the mid 50s. I’m going to have to go clothes shopping for both myself and Attison before we leave ~ we’re going to need jeans and light jackets. We don’t usually buy those things in Arkansas until mid to late October.

I miss the mountains, and I miss cool weather. I’m so psyched (just dated myself with that, but there’s no other word that quite fits) to be able to go on a little trip. I wish we were all going, but with both boys in school and Roger’s job, the only way I was going to escape Arkansas anytime in the next year or so was if I went without the guys.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to my sweet hubby for sending me (and Attison) off for a few days ~ and thank you, thank you, thank you to our wonderful family who have agreed to let us invade their space for a little while. Knowing I’m going to be near real mountains and be in cooler weather soon has brightened my outlook ~ and has awakened the little excitement butterflies in my stomach!
