Vacation

December 24, 2007

So we’re in Colorado this week and next week we’ll be in Nebraska.  It feels really good to be done with finals.  I’m surprised how much warmer it is in Colorado in comparison to Illinois.  We are enjoying our time hanging out with Shelley’s family and looking forward to seeing mine.
