What? Y'all want ANOTHER update? Geez...

Alright. So here's what it comes down to. Sometimes a gnome just gets a little homesick. After 10,000 frickin' miles, I decided I just wanted to go home. Now, please note that I'm not bailing on James and Jennifer--there's no way I'm going back to that house where the dog kept peeing on me--but I just felt like it was time to return to my Mile High Home.

That said, we all did a crazy little dance for a few days, frantically dragged our stuff from Point A to Point D, set things up as best we could and dove in full force. James has been setting up the home office and all the computer bits and pieces needed for techie success.



And, through serendipitous good fortune, Jennifer has a job already! Her madre, Susie, sent her flowers to congratulate her on making it through the first week! (Rumor has it that it almost made Jennifer cry in front of her new coworkers, but who'd believe something like that?)



(Thanks, Mom! They were wonderful!)

Of course, we were celebrating for quite some time as the Cubs did amazing things to make it through to a glorious end of season. See how happy James is?!



There was even Champion Chili for Cubs fans everywhere!! (Well, at least for James, Jennifer and Ryan, who came bearing an awesome pumpkin that now sits outside and prepares the house for the impending attack of the trick-or-treaters...)



Of course, things didn't continue on quite the same exciting path for our dear Cubbies, but there's always next year! In the meantime, James and Jennifer keep themselves busy being stubborn in their lack of support for the Colorado Rockies, much to the chagrin of Jennifer's new students.

Next time, shots of the new casa, for the curious among y'all, as well our beautiful Colorado surroundings!
