January has always seemed so bleak to me. Christmas is over. The decorations are put away 'til next year. The house feels very empty. This year was even more difficult because James and his Mom and Dad flew back to Colorado after a magical Christmas week at our house. I came home from work one day several days later and Neil had even put away all the baby stuff...he said it was too depressing. Normally January melancholy leads to a new home project. Last year it was repainting the living room and foyer and reupholstering the chairs and sofa. This year it isn't as easy to fix. So...I've come to the conclusion that only a trip to Colorado will remedy what ails me! I've spent the last few days trying to "schedule" a trip. James and his parents are coming back to Raleigh in August for his Aunt Breck's wedding, so I thought a trip this spring would be perfect. Neil checked the flight prices and I asked at work about a couple days off.. we are almost ready to book! We are hoping to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with James in Colorado. Now I can start counting down the days again...52! I feel better already!!!
