I'M COMING HOME!

I have been in Colorado for the last couple of days, and right now I'm sitting in the Denver airport with nothing better to do then, what else? Post a blog of course. I spent 7 hours at PDX on the way here, and have had 8 hours of sleep in the last two days. And what could be better then lugging around a big heavy suitcase full of books? I'm not complaining though :)
Right now I'm sitting in a lovely little cafe overlooking the fountain in the airport (if you've been there, you know what I'm talking about), sipping my mocha and eating warm chocolate bundt cake. And this being my second trip with IDEA (my work), I'm thankful for the opportunity and how it forces me to step outside of my comfort zone as I promote our organization. I really feel my communication skills improving as well as my sense of confidence. Here are some very nice college kids I met (they were my favorites).But boy do I miss my kids' faces. Oh yeah, and that guy I call my husband, I miss his smile too. Can't wait to get home. I brought my camera, but was not able to take any pictures of Colorado. The drive from Denver to Colorado Springs was breathtaking, and I was wishing I could pull over and take a picture of the mountains. But Coloradoans drive like crazy people! The speed limit is 75 mph, and you don't dare drive under that lest you get plowed over by a monster SUV! This morning was freezing, I woke up to a light dusting of snow, and driving back to Denver freaked me out a little. I was in this little PT Cruiser, and could see the ice on the road, and people were just flying by like it was no big deal! Oh well, I survived, and can't wait to get home! Geeez, you'd think I've been gone for 10 days! OK, back to people watching...
