An update on my New Year...
Since my Office vacation began on December 19th I have had three weeks to reflect and rejuvinate from my exhaustive semester here in Steamboat.
My vacation began promptly on the 19th so that some basic construction could occur within my apartment in the dormitory we live in. We had two doors cut through concrete walls that would change the overall layout of the Hall Director apartment. The new layout flows from my office (bordering the main entrance) through my apartment to my new master bedroom. It took awhile, but will be a nicer "home" for everyone who has my position in the future.
We began our vacation in Castle Rock, CO where my mom and step-father live. We spent through the 25th there and then went up to Parker, CO to celebrate with my dad and step-mother and her children. We had a great time at both places and gave Ethan a chance to see 2/3 of his grandparents this holiday season.
On the 27th we picked Jessica and levi (friends from Indiana) up at the airport and took them back to Steamboat to celebrate New Year's with us. They enjoyed a week's stay in Ski Town USA with us before heading back on the 3rd.
Overall, the Holiday went well despite the 20 inches of snow we received. It was restful and filled with few surprises.
