For once, to see family from the West Coast we didn’t have to take and 18-hour road trip (it actually took them around 20-hours due to heavy snow along I-70). Last weekend Noah’s eldest brother Joe, and his wife Erika came to Colorado sans kidletts for a much deserved week of R&R. But that’s not the real reason for their excursion, they drove the 18-hours to scout for houses and jobs in the Boulder County area. Another couple trying to keep up with the Joneses (I can get away with saying that since I’ll always still be a Jones). Noah and Casey – the trendsetters. Hah! Joe and Erika arejust succumbing to the fact that California is ridiculously expensive and Colorado has much more to offer! I hope they are able to find a house and jobs, allowing them to move out here. Wonder who will be next…Gretna?
