A Little More Information
April 14, 2009 
I realized, thanks to a couple of comments from yesterday's post, that maybe I haven't really been all that thorough when it came to our move from Colorado to Minnesota, so I thought that I'd try to explain myself a little bit better.
Mr. Blue Eyes and I moved to Colorado (from MN) back in 2003, back when we were free-wheeling, childless punks with wanderlust stirring deep in our souls. Since then we have led an illustrious life of resort work and child bearing, along with cultivating our love/hate relationship with home improvement.
But in all seriousness, our time here in Colorado has been amazing and it will remain in our hearts a very special time in our lives always. We have made so many lifelong friends here, who now feel more like family, and it is the place where we came into our own as a couple and in our faith, and the place where our babies were born.
Yes, Colorado is very special to us and always will be.
However, since our oldest was born a couple years ago, we have increasingly felt the pull to be closer to family and spent a lot of time trying to decide if moving back to MN was the right choice for us or not. Last fall, when Mr. Blue Eyes' parents asked if we were interested in moving onto their family farm, everything seemed to fall into place.
Since then we have been busy with putting our Colorado home on the market, life in general, and sharing some of our day-to-day experiences with you fine people.
Being farm kids ourselves, we are hugely excited at the prospect of raising our children on a farm, especially my husband's family farm, where we will be within spitting distance of grandparents and aunties. I personally can't wait to get some dirt under my fingernails and start raising and preserving some of our own produce.
But all in good time, my pretty.
(Did you catch that Wicked Witch reference? Ooooooo... I'm still scared of her. Shiver.)
I hope this fills in any blanks that you may have had reading yesterday's post. It reminds me that I need to take more time to tell more of the story of us... How we fell quickly, helplessly and deeply and love and how we have come to where we are today. I'll try to do that more often.

Love Colorado. Love Minnesota. Lived in Minnesota. Two seasons in Minnesota...winter and road repair.
Ahhhh. Gotcha.
I didn't want to ask nosy questions about your move, but I'm glad you filled in the gaps. : )
