Travel, out-of-town visitors and more travel

If we could sum up our first few months of marriage in one word, I think it would be "TRAVEL!" As you know from previous blogs, we have spent a lot of time on the road. In June and the first part of July, I (Abby) took something like 25 flights (that is counting segments, so my weekly trip from Denver to Memphis that includes a connection in Atlanta counts as "2" - this is the airline definition for frequent flyer miles!) and spent less than 10 nights in our Colorado home. Jason spent a bit more time there, but had work trips to Omaha / Council Bluffs and Fargo and we BOTH spent a weekend in Washington for my cousin's wedding.

Despite all of the travel, we were able to entertain my parents in Colorado over the 4th of July weekend. Their visit gave us a great excuse to explore some of the attractions around Colorado Springs that we haven't had a chance to see much of yet, including Garden of the Gods and the top of Pike's Peak!
I think I can safely speak for both of us when I report that we are both enjoying our crazy hectic lives at the moment and try to savor every moment we have together - since there is not an abundance of those moments right now!
