We didn't quite make it!

So we left our hotel on Sat. morning at 6:20am and went to the house to get the dogs. We were on the road by 7:15 or so, setting out on our journey.  We made a few stops but all in all it was a good trip we made too time. We arrived in Gallup, NM at about 7pm and ordered pizza.  We had a pretty good night except that Nathan slept the whole drive so he was up every few hours.  We were up again at 5:30am and got back on the road again about 7am.  Bill had to stop by 2pm to do something for work so we made it to Trinidad, CO by 1pm and had lunch, then he did his work and we were back on the road about 4:20pm.  Unfortunately, that is where our luck ended.  We got to Pueblo, CO and the snow started coming down and hard.  We couldn't see the lines on the highway and things were getting slick.  I called a friend that lives in Monument and she said we had gone through the worst and it was starting to clear so we kept going.  We got a little past Monument and the snow starting coming down again and we couldn't see the lines; it was getting later so we decided to pull off and get some dinner. We walked into a convenience store that had a Quiznos and of course, the Quiznos was closed. We had horrible prepackaged food for dinner but were happy to be out of the elements. As we sat there eating, I couldn't stop thinking about our drive ahead of us.  Bill finally said he would call a hotel so we ended up at Holiday Inn in Castle Rock, CO for the night.  We are about a60 miles from our new home.  So close, yet so far.  I can tell you one thing... I am happy to be safe and thrilled that I get to sleep in a little bit (hopefully)!  I will not be back on to update until possibly Sat. because Comcast was due to come in the morning and we won't be there.  We have rescheduled for the 15th but hopefully there will be a cancellation and we can get back online sooner!  Thanks for checking in and we will chat soon!
