Back in business

It's been an unnecessarily long period of time since I last posted to this blog, and I apologize for that. It's also been an unbelievably busy month. 

Andy and I flew back to Chicago last week for the Breast Cancer 3Day walk. It was an unbelievable event in which to participate: I walked 60 miles over the course of three days with three dear friends to raise money for the Susan G. Koman Foundation and National Philanthropic Trust. It's amazing how much your body can hurt, go numb, wring itself out and do it all over again. 

And I'm officially Franken-walker, now. 

But we're back now in the rainy state of Colorado.  We are enjoying our new friends, and had a great dinner party this weekend.  The grill Andy got for his birthday has been getting more and more use every week.  The made Spanish pork chops, grilled salmon, corn on the cob that was grilled too. ...  Very tasty corn that we brought back with us from Chicago.  Thanks Mom and Dad Peterson! :-)  The rain has not kept us inside this weekend, but it has brought snow to the caps of the mountains.  It is chilly, and we are wondering what has happened to the warm Colorado summer.

Nonetheless, it's good to be home and back to something of a normal schedule. As normal as it gets for us, anyway. (Case in point, I'm working a 3 to 11 a.m. shift tomorrow.)

So hang in there. We're getting guests in the form of Mom and Dad Foster this week, and have a full schedule planned out so there should be plenty to post. 

Hope everyone is well and know that the door is always open! (You just may make the blog if you stop by.)
