Off to Colorado!

Okay today is the day...it's "Family Vacation" time!!!

We leave late this afternoon for Colorado!

Our 7 to 8 day plan is to drive...relax...ski...play...relax...play...ski...eat to much... and maybe shop (if Shelby and I get our way)...oh yeah did I say...drive...a lot! We're really looking forward to our big adventure with the company of our good friends the Weopking family.

This was our last visit to Colorado back in 2005...how cute are they...seriously!

We pretty much got everyone packed last night, but there's some last minute details for me to take care of today before we leave around 5pm or so. I've got my list...and I'm checkin' it twice. Hopefully we've/I've remembered everything! This is the main reason that I'm not a huge traveler...now if I had my Silver Eagle bus we'd be all set because it's like a house on wheels, right? Okay...I can still dream can't I!

My goal for this next week is to get along with Rob, the kids, and have a relaxing and more importantly enjoyable and memorable time together. We are going to be spending a lot of "quality time" together, so you can pray for our safe travel and for everyone to have an agreeable and uplifting attitude while we all travel together.

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company ...a church ...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past ...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ...we are in charge of our attitudes."
