See Those Slopes?

We're in Keystone right now with my immediate family - - my honey-man and I flew in to Denver, CO, early yesterday morning with my sister. We were at the Vegas airport by 4:45 am! Because our Keystone trip dates were pushed forward this year by two weeks, unlike previous years at Keystone, skiing over New Years, the angel boy-O isn't with us because he's gotta be in school... Honestly, it feels downright wrong being here without him. All day yesterday, any time we saw a lil' snow bunny kid or any of the kids playing in the heated pools, or any children in general, we'd look at one another and our bottom lips would slip outward, our heads down, feeling sad.

But it is what it is and we're here and we should make the very best of it, right? We've tried to promise one another that we'll not let this arrangement, sans the angel boy-O, ruin an awesome opportunity. It's just hard though, as this trip is the ONLY family vacation we ever have from year to year with my family...the angel boy-O should be here. Next year, unless the dates coincide with the boy-O's holiday time, I don't think we'll do this again.

Lucky for us, as long as we work to keep our inner conflict in check, the set up here is INCREDIBLE! Our condo is the best ever! I'll write details later... we're all about to literally walk out the front door, and onto the slopes!
