Sunny Colorado

Since my momma is a flight attendant for United, it is very rare that I get to see her while I'm visiting in Colorado. She's usually up flying the friendly skies. So when she told me her vacation was set to be the first week in October, I made arrangements to visit her during the duration of her break... It was so many months ago that we had planned my visit that it's hard to believe it has already come and gone. Sad. I had a blast hanging with my mom for ten straight days!

There wasn't one specific moment that stuck out, it was simply fun to spend time with her.
Some things we did while I was visiting were: cook and eat some Nichols family favorites, walk around Johnstown Lake every morning, attend the temple, go shopping, go to the movies, sit and chat, stayed up late every night, and worked on a special book project my mom has.

It was a pleasant trip and it seemed like our time together had drawn to an end too quickly. Though I was happy to return home to Oregon to hang with Wyatt, I was terribly sad that I couldn't stay longer with my mom. It's true, home is where mom is.

I love you momma! Thanks for making me feel so special!

Wyatt had flowers waiting for me when I returned home - what a sweetie!

AWwwww! What an awesome adoring husband you have! I even made Kevin look at it to inspire him.

So sweet! Your mom is adorable! I am sure you miss her a ton being so far away! Love the sunny lake! It looks a lot better than our sorry excuse for a lake...

Fun pictures. I haven't seen some of that family for a really long time! Glad you had fun.

Auuugh, I'm jealous you got to go to Colorado! I have been missing that state--although I never thought I would when I left. But every time I visit it's so beautiful--the big blue sky, the golden fields, the mountains, the white snow. I miss CO!
